neo-Western
The neo-Western takes the bones of the classic frontier story and places them in a world that no longer believes in clean heroes. Horses may be replaced by trucks and guns by legal threats, but the core remains the same: land, power, loyalty, and survival under pressure. This tag explores stories where the West isn’t romantic—it’s contested.

Violence isn’t glorified, but it’s understood as part of maintaining order when institutions feel distant or unreliable. The landscape still matters, not as scenery, but as identity.
Under the neo-Western tag, the focus is on moral ambiguity, inherited conflict, and characters who live by rules shaped more by necessity than ideals. These stories ask familiar questions in unfamiliar times: What is worth protecting? Who gets to decide? And what does survival demand when the frontier is no longer wild—but deeply owned?
