In the beginning, I assumed the Augustus was depressed, but when the "terrible emptiness" passed from father to son I understood that succession had occurred and the character being played had changed.

Brilliantly written. Capturing the essence of characters, the issue of prestige, the traits of characters, and the player, all done from an NPC.

Beautiful

Very nice, very very nice.
Now imagine a version of this but with mods?

Really does put the player into perspective as some kind of eldritch being.

I loved this. Hope you post more with this concept.

I remember thinking this myself. Since our actions as players are sometimes ruthlessly efficient, how would those actions appear in real life, where some power was controlling our own contemporaries absolutely? I feel like your story captured that thought in an awesome way, glad I randomly checked this fandom. Anyway, really liked the story, it was super interesting!

I did not expect this to be so good, I was pleasantly surprised
