Notes for myself so far:
Bookmaking Habits - fine, mostly filler
State Change - good, novel concept
Perfect Match - don’t know when this was written, but it’s a really stale idea in 2026 and has been done much better elsewhere
Good Hunting - very good
The Literomancer - fine
Simulacrum - very good, could be a movie
The Regular - probably my favorite thus far, great world-building and story
