Important lore question

Do spider-taurs enjoy headpats

Wait that wasn't the question.

The question was 'do the gods of literature have specific literary pet peeves?'


Asking because I have a really funny idea of where to take this fic, which involves the narrator going so badly off the rails that it apparently offends the gods of literature, who start aggressively 'revising' the text (E. G. deleting large passages*, inserting footnotes 'correcting' the narrator on various points) in order to restore some kind of narrative cohesion
*for my original isekei-ish fic my idea was that basically all information the reader actually got was effectively mediated by various Furreans, who sometimes just flat out refuse to write down pertinent details because it offends their sensibilities, because the implications disturb them and they want to spend as little time thinking about it as possible, because they don't see it as relevant.....

For this fic I'm planning on taking the opposite approach: A single 'Outworlder' who's nominally just talking about a planned community in LaRaGa they had a hand in setting up**, but who's continuously going on insane tangents (often nested within each other) about really weird subjects. Kinda like a LaRaGan Tristam Shandy ...except that I have no idea how to actually turn that into something most people here would want to read so I needed a plot device to get things somewhat back on track.
**Because of her background in urban design. Presumably.

Hmm....
Welll I guess I have to hope that 'unending incoherent stream of consciousness' and 'excrept from the manifesto of the Metaphysical Sorelian guys which seemingly contains instructions on how to destroy the universe' are sufficient provocation.

the specific lore of laraga is honestly just "if it makes for a good story it can be canon"

Then I guess I just have to hope that my story ends up being good. Though since basically every story idea I've come up with since middle school is some varient of 'setting is disrupted by the arrival of an element that breaks the logic of the setting' I might end up having my work cut out for me here

Incidentally I have a halfwritten section where the narrator basically starts subtweeting the Anri empire (in the middle of a degression about how the writings of Franz Kafka supposedly reveal the real order of the multiverse*, which is itself nominally part of a section about street grids....) so if there are any cool/relevant Anri facts that you think it would be interesting to have someone put in a story somewhere I'd love to hear them
*The worldbuilding here is that not only are she and her home society completely serious about this, but that this basically accounts for the main ideological rift between them and the Anri (Or it would, if they actually had two-way contact with the Anri empire in the first place).
