So I'm writing a story book thing where dies and goes to the afterlife while someone is trying to overthrow the government. This whole thing sound so much like a stereotypical teen dystopian that I feel like I need to change something. Can anyone help?
How can I make this not sound cliche?
Someone is trying to overthrow the afterlife government? Or the person dies whilst trying to overthrow the living government?
Yeah someone is trying to overthrow the afterlife government.
Oh ok. Well (this is just from my expirience) but I’ve never read a book like that, XD, so I dont think its cliche, but if you were going to change something, maybe make the MC an anti-hero? They join the ‘bad guys’, but aren’t aware that they did? It would also be interesting to try to tell the story from a ‘villain’s’ POV without the reader knowing that they are the ‘villain’.
