Why do authors make up names in their works like Maythan, Rudius, Leticiel, Zythalomus or CARNE (I’m looking at you JBA). Like, are the authors not able to do research into whichever culture they’re basing their plot in/on to find names that exist? Or would ya’ll consider this more creative and give kudos. Genuine question, sometimes it works for me, other times it doesn’t fit with the story at ALL and pulls me out of the immersion because it looks/sounds ridiculous depending on the setting.
Feels a little Noah’s Ark. Necessary roles only and the rest perish type shit, with a merciless God no one can go against.
This was such a good deduction, I completely agree. I wouldn’t be surprised if Noah’s ark was the authors inspo for making this
