Satire Web Novels

Satire on Tellura takes targets (politics, tech, the conventions of the genre itself) and goes after them with intent. The catalog includes social satire, tech satire, and meta-fiction that critiques the tropes it borrows from. Common tags: satirical, philosophical, comedic.

Satire needs a target, which is what separates this genre from comedy: the jokes are an argument. On Tellura the targets are often the conventions of web fiction itself, the summoned hero who is bad at it, the system that audits you, the sect elder as middle manager. That means the shelf rewards genre fluency. If you want the humor without the critique, comedy is the gentler neighbour.
