What happens if you try to structure a prose story like a long JRPG?
A semi-episodic series of novellas!
Unblock the road, visit a new city, struggle to cross an ocean, unravel your party's backstory, and find lore at the mysterious organization's secret base~

I messed around more with Pagebound this morning, in case it'd help me make a home of it, but I still find its central conceit ("forums on every books!" "social first, stats seconds!") to be the opposite of what I want. I wish I could "mute all books by default" lol
