Incomprehensible even to me & maybe not much to talk about, I nevertheless find that these over time foster a subcons. dimensionality to how one engages & experiences such media. Plus, in the absence of deep stringent analyses, they capture best what I feel games like BP are artistically 'going for'

A "genre" of articles I'd in this regard recommend for personal reading are pieces of continental phil. offering very impressionistic & viscerally compelling analyses of the, as it were, "urban experience", like this one: flore.unifi.it/handle/2158/...

This being the case, 'exploring' different HyperCard programmes would be nice just to compare with other applications.
Well, maybe it wasn't "lack of purpose" as such, but that it was the first and superceded by the time people figured out what to do with this technology.

Way to make me read a lengthy project proposal for a language learning app.
As regards the program: I've had a look around, and the literature seems to affirm HyperCard's lack of clear purpose mentioned in your first article. Mostly peripheral treatments and pedagogical reviews

Thank you for the article! I'm surprised I had never heard of this before – excited for the eventual exploration stream, if you're still up for it

(Also, funny how little Xi-chun featured so far despite being the one introduced in Limbus)
An aside – I found this paper analysing the 12 Beauties, in the novel and in modern adaptations. The line spacing is, as ever, unfortunate, but it's still useful:

While I've been hoping that the males would get more elaboration (esp. Rong and Qiang), I'm resigned to their remaining peripheral concerns. At least Xue Pan is a bit of a mainstay, whom I've come to like as the charming scoundrel in spite of myself and his early presentation.

Oh, the poetry is a good point. I've been enjoying the cleverness in her productions, and the imagery in Xiang-yun's; the poetry club is a very welcome development after the common interpersonal trudgery.
Xiang-yun and Li Wan for their parts are my second and third favourites.

Well, still on Volume 2, so that might all be subject to change*. I do promise to catch up at least to the end of Volume 3 in-time for the Canto release!

Most enjoyable I'm finding the depiction of social functions and especially the familial dealings apart from Bao-yu and the Garden dwellers. Xi-feng of course stands out as my favourite, but I'm finding myself wanting for more on characters like Rong and Qiang. And I miss Yu-cun.
