I think it's one of those ones where,

It helps you connect to the characters, not just Vis, not just the main character, but it makes you feel connected to these other characters and you care about them and you care about their relationships.

And it's very much a relief from what is generally kind of a dark world.

Yeah, absolutely.

Not really.

I'm very much a guy who I will enjoy any trope well executed and I'll hate any trope poorly executed.

I'm not a guy who will be like, ah, it's this trope.

I'm going to read it.

It's fine.

I will very much, and it's obviously partly that this is my job and I'm very picky, but it's...

Yeah, it's more about the execution, I think.

Yeah, absolutely.

Ah, look.

Nothing weird.

Honestly, I think the thing that most surprises people is that just that I treat it like a normal job.

Like I sit down at 9 o'clock.

I'm very regimented.

I sit down at 9 o'clock and I finish at 5.30 and I take like an hour and a half for lunch and I'm writing all day.

And it's not necessarily that I'm actually constructively getting words in on the page writing.

But that is my focus.
