Just in case I do decide to… what would you want to see in this book, levels, entities, enigmatic entities, sub-levels, GOIs, what else?
This book would just be the story of some guy in the Backrooms traversing many levels ig. Just looking for thoughts on what fan-fav thing people wanna see.

I am no expert at writing books (or writing in general) but I feel like you should make a start with the levels. Start with Level 0, obviously, but other interesting environments I've seen on this wiki are Level 192 (click here), Level 200 (click here), and Level 999 (click here), just to name a few. You can obviously use whatever levels and environments you want, I have no strong opinions on that. But my suggestions are interesting environments that I think would work great in storytelling.
I mean, I'd just suggest Robert's stuff, like Level 365, Sightless Seers, Level 710, and so on. I might have a BIT of a bias there though xD
But aside from that, I think there's a "hodgepodge" of levels he could travel to. Level 47 sounds like an incredible one. Level 154 would add a lot of suspense if done right. Level 666 could be used as a way to explore his deepest fears and give some interesting character development. Level 906 could be a nice little break from all the horror and danger (and I know a lot of people like Blanche) As for how to get to these levels….It's the Backrooms, if there's not a way, then you could always add some form of reality-warping entity or object to explain that, which could also add an interesting element to the story.
As for entities, you could really spice it up. A lot of the really "iconic" and common ones are found most often in the lower levels, so just pick a few of those I guess. Phobic centipedes would be REALLY good for horror if described in the right ways. Dreamweavers and entities like them could show that even dreams are not safe in the Backrooms. The Keymaster and the Red Knight are some interesting ones as well.
As for groups, M.E.G. is the big one, though your character could get tangled in a conflict involving two groups. Might add some more interesting conflict, rather than just the typical horror stuff.
There are numerous objects you can use as well. Almond Water (of course), firesalt, reality fresheners, liquid silence. There are way too many good ones to list.
Regardless of all this, I'd think about what would make a good story plot. You can pick one or two things from the Backrooms to make the main plot, then add in other things in throughout, even if just in passing mention, since there's so much.
Level 1 would be a obvious base he would constantly return to and he would encounter entity 251 (bias showing but hear me out) due to the fact that these guys are found on a ton of floors and it’s hard to not run into them at least once, maybe encounter some hounds and smilers, you know the classic evil dudes and levels
I'm justice!…What?…No not the blind folded girl!
I think a fun idea is that the protagonist should visit level FUN and relax there with the nice and kind Partygoers there. Its a pretty amazing level and I think you should visit sometime =)
dont mean to be a downer but rp isnt allowed on the wiki. you could annoy those fandom jerks with it though!
Cut your mind out of your head with the sharpest piece of sky you can find
Maybe try to find a way into some of the unentered levels soon. *Insert creepy smile here or smth I'm not evil I promise-*
I've actually started a book like this. I'm on chapter 2 though. I don't really think it's going to be good.

probably the average journey through the backrooms (0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-11 then whatever)
You should make the main character run into the different groups such as the Partygoers, Masked maidens, The b.n.t.g and the followers of jerry.
Maybe have a robot.
Also it could be written like a journal.

Absolutely! I would really like a backrooms book!
Start at level 1 and then go forward.
Haha sure. If I do get enough ideas to start this thing, and you post 251, I prolly will lol.

Don't forget blanche! She would be a cool addition!
I'm justice!…What?…No not the blind folded girl!
I think you should! I am writing a backrooms based book too, but it isnt good.
For a few ideas, you should have him meet a sibling or a friend he thought had died in the frontrooms. you should make the book have a good story line, and not just be about exploration. Make him get into some weird stuff, maybe his curiosity leads him to a dangerous situation?
Make the plot actually thought out. Also, don't make it a super-safe version of the backrooms. add risk. make suspense. Maybe his friend succumbs to the crawler virus, or a hound. The point is, don't make this book a really PG book. Have some real danger so that the MC actually feels like he is in danger
Also, for a final point, try to add a lot of stuff, but take it slow. Even if he might be in a boring level, make him explore and make it interesting but not a constant stream of fighting and horror/suspense.
Anyway, that's all from me and i hope it helps!
U can bet this ain't gonna be pg. What kind of person would I be to do that??

yes! im gonna love this book for sure!
Maybe he runs into masked maidens?

I would say to add most of the earlier levels at least 0-5 maybe excluding 3 just to give an account of what someone would feel as they worked their way through some of the most common/ popular levels.
This could also serve as a way to introduce many common entities and GOIs.
Cool idea btw.
Ngl back in January (I think) I was actually making a book on the series and used this site as a source. I never thought of publishing it because Idk how, but I'm on level 1 (Habitable zone) and haven't worked on it in forever.
Thinking about going to level 11 and having the protagonist settle down there, but we'll see how it goes and I'm not going to spoil it much.
Tnx for giving me an idea
I'd love to make a book that would just be a catalog of the most popular levels, entities and whatnot. 2 pages per thing - one for a big image, the other for the text. Mostly sections of it. Like a book about travelling destination!

I think, if you're going all out on it, you could make each chapter have 4 levels as well as a description of entities on those levels. When you publish it, you should include your wikidot username when saying you're the author. I also suggest uploading a digital copy on the internet archive, where it can be found easily and not lost forever in the sea of a million books vying for attention.
Just a high schooler who thinks he is good at writing. Likes working on a lot of stuff, ranging from writing for the Backrooms Wiki, to providing critique, and reading. ~ Pen.

Maybe like the Levels 0~11, common entities, and common objects?
