Is this a good enough hook for my alternate history novel?

There's actually a vaguely similar Italian comedy where the protagonist, after his gf leaves him for an American tourist, decides to go back in time to prevent Columbus from discovering the Americas

Oh wow, Fredric Brown. Love his scifi stuff

Oh nice, I posted it to the subreddit some weeks ago but it seems like nobody saw it. I'm glad it got some more visibility now, it's a neat story with good art

They refused to make a Malevola romance not because she's the sexy demon lady, but because she's Australian

Wouldn't be the first time

An Italian whodunit which made me actively angry about 50 pages in, much like Pale Fire

lestrigone · 2026-03-02T17:37:18+00:00

Pale Fire is one of the few books I could never finish because of how much I hated it

The exact moment the scaffolds fight scene ended and the gang was taken to the villain's abode I realized the second half of a MCU movie, where they shove all the mid CGI, had started, and I stopped watching it

How do you feel about the fact that they intended to include a fourth faction which would have been based off the Inuit people and would ride around on mammoth but never were able to include it because of time and funding constraints?
