it's amazing what people will do to avoid reading a novel
I think it's amazing people read novels. Even if I had infinite time I'm not sure I would. Not that I'm against them! A great novel is a beautiful thing, and I'm glad someone is out there to enjoy them.

Highland 2 does this very nicely, and you can keep it all in .md
Link: https://highland2.app/screenwriters.php Requires MacOS.
One poor man's highland is putting together the requisite functions in VSCode or Atom. Neither currently has an add-on with the ability to move sections of .md, but if someone adds this, it would be a huge contribution to the writer community.

Audiobooks are a good middle ground if the voice actor matches your perception of the narrator.

I can see the argument that my experience of human interactions is a biased and incomplete sample. That's clearly true. But they are the relevant ones to my experience.
And I'm always disappointed at the bias in the human interactions portrayed by novels. They are almost invariably driven by unrealistically evil people, and the stakes are typically too high to bear any relevance to most of human life. Most conflict is between people none of whom can be well characterized as evil. There is substantial variation in peoples' values, and in the information they have, and those are the important drivers of what people do.
Damn, I should write a novel.

Vale is a nice one (a bit of work to configure and figure out) for enforcing style rules. Ltex for spelling and grammar. Markdownlint for making sure the markdown is right. Proselint is another one. Some of these overlap in what they do of course.
I also configured vscode to turn soft wrapping on for markdown.
