This list gave me the urge to start a novel with the line "Katie Walker took a deep breath which caused her medium sized breasts to rise slightly, as breasts do when one breaths deeply." I believe this is an excellent start to a novel. Rules are made to be broken.
Diametrically opposing every one of these suggestions from your original article would make for an incredibly entertaining book. I mean it wouldn't be good, but it would be funny. "The Room" of books.
I don't think science fiction and fantasy are at all trivial! They might be some of the most important fiction genres - they allow gifted minds of non-scientists to show us what could one day be possible!
I just ... can't get into it. It's much the same as how I deeply respect science itself, yet have a mind that wants to be all artsy and weird and non-empirical.
I don't dispute any of that. I know those stories captivate lots of people! I just don't happen to be one of them. Different strokes, different folks, etc.

Gotta say, I'd read some of that! 😅

"The Room" of books is a concept that's going to be stuck in my head for WEEKS now! 😂

You get a pass to an editor better suited for that genre! 😅
