(Mixed trope) ridiculous plot/story

[u/Alternative_Turn8863]

Cripple wolf- a crippled Vietnam veteran who is unaware he's a werewolf goes on a massive passenger plane dedicated to fetishes. He accidentally turns into a feral werewolf that slaughters hundreds of people and fights a superhero with the punching force of a panzer lll and turns multiple people including a baby into werewolf's, he runs people over and other shenanigans. It's a hilarious short story that's worth checking out.

Ass goblins of Auschwitz- ass goblins invade kidland a relatively peaceful planet full of kids. The MCs are conjoined twins who along with other kids are turned into slaves to make food, bicycles, cider and alot more out of dead kids. The conjoined twins are experimented on to become more monstrous in appearance. IMO this book sucks but has a bat shit insane story with the ass goblins wanting to gain childhood since they're all born adults and are jealous of the kids innocents and happiness.

Grunts, by Mary Gentle, which has the distinction of being the best worst book I have ever read.

The Dark Lord's army of orcs is defeated, and they scatter. One clan finds a dragon's hoard; this dragon was a planeswalker with a love of military history. They pick up some weapons. The weapons are enchanted/cursed. The orc tribe immediately begins to act like stereotypical Hollywood marines. With their new tech and organization, they begin to turn the tide on the war with-

-wait, no, the war's at a stalemate. They're inventing soccer now-

-okay, it's a romance novel? Between the orc sergeant and a cannibalistic halfling milf? I suppose that's-

-they're doing war crimes now. Just really aggressive war crimes-

-the Dark Lord has proposed the Last War between light and dark be settled via democratic election-

-the Dark Lord's campaign is in peril because the Lady of Light found out about the war crimes-

-they're on trial for the war crimes and the outcome of that will determine the election instead-

-insectoid alien invaders are here! Light and Dark must join forces to-

-there's a human marine from Earth now, real protagonist energy-

-oh, he's dead, the aliens got him-

-the aliens work for the dragon-

Etc, etc.

When I say "best worst book", what I mean is that it is the work of an extremely skilled author deliberately and gleefully writing the worst book possible. The technical execution of its awfulness is perfect. It constantly one-ups itself in horrible, disgusting, trite, and almost boring enough to quit reading, before the plot abruptly changes and now you gotta see where this bullshit is going.

If I ever meet Mary Gentle, I will shake her hand and tell her I enjoyed her book very much, and would rather take my own teeth out with pliers than ever read it again.

edit: the worst worst book I have ever read, for reference, is a tie between the novelizations of Baldur's Gate 1 & 2, and if I say what I will do if I meet that author I will get in trouble.

edit 2: there is a line in Grunts that, in isolation, is probably one of the most disgusting and offensive things I can imagine expressing in language.

By the time it arrives in the book, you're either fully on board with reading a Very Bad Book or you've stopped already. So when that line hits you almost want to cheer: you did not think the scene it is in could possibly get any worse, but Grunts never fails to find lower pits to sink into.

Mary Gentle, in the acknowledgements, joyfully credits her husband for the line.

one more: here's the line. It fills me with the same kind of awe the Grand Canyon does.

There is no such thing as a Baldur's Gate novel and there is no such Bhaalspawn as Abdel Adrian.
