Hi! I swim between written words and soar to the heights their wisdom grants me. I'm a book lover with a penchant for fiction, particularly in the speculative, esoteric, and sci-fi genres. Nowadays I find the most solace between the pages of animal protagonist novels. However, my curiosity extends beyond these genres and I am open to anything. Recently, I've been discovering the timeless treasures of some old classics.
I am invested in storytelling, creative writing, education and TTRPGs. Narratives that challenge my perception and sparkle my imagination not only make the journey through life worth the struggles, but add so many parallel experiences that I feel like a multitude. I'm here to celebrate the magic of consciously constructed wor(l)ds and seek new adventures with every page turned.

An unknown masterpiece of science fiction. At first, it might be challenging to read, as the narrative is set from within the world, there is no explanation for the out-of-the-world reader. I loved how I had to crack the behaviour of the robots analogue to the way they are cracking the mysteries of reality around them. It is a book full of surprises, original literary and fictional ideas, rich world building, and artful, quality prose.
