You must be new here. That's the only explanation for not having realized yet that /g/ loves to be contrarian. They are literally hipsters, rebels without a cause. There are one or two who are okay, but most here just want to act like know-it-alls. Deep down, most of them aren't capable of doing anything useful in the "God tier" languages they love so much.
Go create your novel with renpy, in time you'll see if it's useful for you or not. Don't expect legitimate advice from anyone here. We're here to have fun, not to give good advice.
However, I would still suggest that you try creating your own engine just for fun. That is, if you enjoy programming. Otherwise, use Renpy and be happy.

>is doom really that bad?
It's not bad, it's just pointless. If you're going to use Emacs, you'll always be tweaking things. The problem is that using something like Doom, you end up having to learn Doom's way of configuring it instead of actually learning Emacs. Another problem is bloat, these distros come with a ton of packages, which invariably slows down the experience. The worst part is that you won't use even 10% of these packages, so they hinder you more than they help.

In short, if you just want an editor that works out of the box, go with Doom. But if you really want to learn how it works and create your own Emacs, don't use Doom, Space, or anything like that. Build your own configuration from scratch. Use other people's configurations as examples or sources of inspiration, but don't copy and paste code without first understanding what each word does.
