What do you think of only Female Party member trope in the Story?

[Izumi_Kenshu]

I was nervous about implementing this trope in a single important arc of my Novel where it doesn't contain any male characters in the span of the Labyrinth Chapters. My mind was telling me that my story was leading in a Gender political view. Still, the original reason why I only have Female characters was because my Protagonist is a female with trust issues and she invited her female friends on a Quest on behalf of his brother. but I can't find any Idea to add any male members in the party due to the males recovering from their injuries or being Occupied in an established chapter before the Labyrinth chapters.

what do you think?

Unless the party did everything wrong when the guys were present and does everything perfectly when they are not (and the same holds true if there was a mixed gender party and the women get left behind), this should not be a problem. And you could always have them stumble on a male prisoner to rescue if you feel you need the mixed gender dynamic.

Depends on how you write it. ?‍

 

[LilRora]

Depends on a lot of things, but in general it shouldn't be an issue if you provide proper reasoning.

There will be people with complaints if you attract a wide enough audience, but that's a matter of course, not something you can prevent. If someone wants to push politics onto your story, they'll do it no matter if you want it or not.

Your intentions and portrayal of the characters is much more important.

I can see why people like the female only party trope, but it's still fucking stupid and the guys who are into it should be punished severely.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

The hero's journey: He keeps getting knocked down, but keeps getting back up and slowly claws his way through hell to eventually win by the skin of his teeth and with not a small amount of luck.

The HER-o's journey: She was always awesome, she just lacked the self-esteem to know how awesome she was. As soon as she figures that out, she effortlessly defeats everything.

As you describe, it sounds reasonable. The execution is where you need to take care.

Huh?

 

[ParticleOfSand]

Only in the western world do we care about political correctness.

Every person that read a Chinese novel is probably disagreeing.

This is a trope?

One of them must get crippled.

Why?

 

[RepresentingCaution]

As long as their menstrual cycles sync up, and they sit around eating chocolate together, that sounds pretty awesome.

what do you think?

Simply write, without caring about their genders.

Why?

Good question. Maybe they have read a very crappy "female party" novel(s). Or have encountered people that are bad, that like this trope.

Also yuri harem party is a banger.

That's a different kind of political correctness.

what do you think?

I think it's already a fantasy, so why worry about it?

Who ever heard of a group of women working together toward a common goal without sabotaging each other at every turn? Purest fantasy, I tell you.

Political correctness is political correctness.

Political correctness is political correctness.

One gets you shunned.
One disappears you from the world entirely.

Now that's a novel I'd like to read. A competent group of people doing everything to sabotage their other members, but in the end failing upwards. This sounds like peak comedy.
