I’m aware of no previous work of fiction that jootzed all the way to being genre-aware of its genre-awareness and I think it would be it would be hilarious to read one :-)
Yes, well, you may have to write yourself the work you always wanted to read.
Is that a denial plus an exhortation to write it myself? Or is it a smug admission that you’re writing what you wanted to read which is something in the ballpark of my guess?
I’m also curious if you have plans to bootstrap out of our present situation? I’ve run some minor “metaphysical experiments” in the past to see if the world is as strictly “object level” as it seems to be, and I’ve recently tried a couple micro tests inspired by your HP story to see if “this world’s story has started yet” with me as a character who can break the fourth wall and get feedback, and so far they’ve all come back with boring results.

Cryptic, with a dash of sass :-)
