Thanks for the kind words — I’m really glad Martin brought you some laughs!
I’m using a narrative approach more common in Japanese storytelling, like slice-of-life anime and introspective works. So instead of building toward a big Western-style climax or a single “grand finale,” the story flows more like a series of connected moments that gradually reveal the characters, their inner worlds, and the hidden logic behind the setting.
With this structure, all I really need to worry about is making sure Martin survives another day, ideally with some laughs along the way. Hope that answers your question!
