Custom languages can cause cringe if they are too otherworldly imo, but the most important thing is for them to be consistent throughout that language/locale. If different names shift too much the immersion will break and it will feel too unrealistic.

I prefer more organic languages, functional can also break the immersion and make you associate it with the wrong things (could be powerful if done the right way though - but that might be hard as all readers might associate things differently)

If I wright I usually come to points where I rename things back and forth, it's suffering

What do you mean? If you write a story, how do you name the locations? Shire, Mount Doom..?

It very much is literature.

genre fiction isn't literature

It's not genre fiction, it's about names and how to come up with them. If I write about notLondon, should everybody be named Mohammed or Mohawkmed?
