Fics like The WorksUltimate Manly Romance:

A young man who has lost his sense of purpose awakens in a world where “stories” shape reality. Every person carries a hidden narrative—one that can be rewritten, stolen, or destroyed. When he discovers he can perceive these narratives as living structures, he is forced into a conflict between those who manipulate stories for power and those who protect them. To survive, he must confront the story he abandoned long ago—and decide whether to rewrite it or let it consume him.
