minus-squareVaryk@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up6arrow-down1·edit-23 months agoI’m not sure why people love and reblog this story so much. What do you guys love about this story or find fascinating that it sticks out for you amongst so many others exploring reincarnation or solipsism? The cartoon is super cool, and the story is fun, but not groundbreaking or unique, yet still seems very popular.
