Genrien

Genrien is a neologism that has no widely accepted meaning outside specific fictional or fan-created contexts. In these uses, genrien describes entities or processes that blend or transcend traditional literary genres, often through generative or adaptive mechanisms. The exact definition varies by source, and there is no consensus on scope, capabilities, or provenance.

In speculative fiction and role-playing game materials, genrien can refer to a type of autonomous narrative engine that merges elements from multiple genres to produce hybrid stories; a class of sentient or semi-sentient beings capable of moving between narrative worlds and influencing genre rules; or a cultural concept representing hybridization across genres within a society. Because genrien is not established in academic or mainstream discourse, references are sporadic and typically confined to fan wikis, game supplements, or self-published lore. The term is usually presented as a fictional construct rather than a real-world concept, and its usage is not standardized.
