Ahhhh you're too kind!! I really do try to make the story engaging with the least amount of "fluff".
I actually took the interest in this project as a motivator to start on a bigger project similar to it. It won't necessarily be the same characters, but it'll be a similar type of theme.
Although I could keep this one on the backburner and revisit it if I ever do want to expand on it more. Thank you for the kind words again! I don't know what kind of help I could ask for honestly.
