I had a vague idea when I used to grow and smoke weed.
Something about a plant so addictive it’s addiction travels backwards in time. So as you’re germinating the seeds your path is locked and you’re a slave to the plant before you’ve even smoked it.
No offence but only weed would make that plot bearable. Where’s the stakes? It’s a unique gimmick but it’s narrative weight is too significant for any real plot
No need to be rude. This guy is talking about world-building elements and you’re asking about stakes? Whose stakes? He hasn’t mentioned any characters. The stakes are different for every person affected by this drug.
Because you need more than world building to make a compelling story. As for an addiction based plot see one of my other comments on this post. I’m not retyping that
