As someone new to Brittlestar’s work, it’s interesting to see how online humor can grow into a full book project. It reminds me of how simple, creative ideas can gain huge followings—kind of like FNF game, where the Boyfriend rhythmically battles different opponents to win the Girlfriend’s love and built a big fan community around its quirky style. It’s cool to see internet culture turning into lasting creative projects. 📚🎮
