    I’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.

      Maybe it’s accessible and well-written.

        This is great, you’re right, that’s probably all you need. Thanks.

      For me part of why I like this one is because it’s nice and short so it was easy to get through the first time. I can’t put into words why I like the story itself though :)

        That’s a good point, thanks. it’s definitely enjoyable, I guess I’m more confused about the ubiquitous extreme enthusiasm I see whenever it pops up.

        But your comment helps me understand, thanks.
