Respawn (Planetism)
Wondering what it could possibly be about? Well…
Respawn is an introductory attempt to grammatically generalize the first-person perspective. Characterized by phenomenological narration designed to approximate select aspects of subconscious mentation, it presents readers with a unique challenge.

Put down another one in the “never seen a book before” category.
As for the blurb, I’d say that it seems like something written by AI, but the modern LLMs are almost always more coherent than that. Perhaps it’s someone who’s designing his own LLM, this is the first test case, and version 0.01 just isn’t very good.
If this was about local trails, this might work. What doesn’t work is this cover and this title. Better might be a picture of a pond.
As a consciously fermentated attempt to better characterize the generalizations of this phenomenocologicalisticalized challenge: Just what the heck is wrong with the old planetism we’ve had all these years, dagnabbit?
Eschew obfuscation.
Reminds me of a smart-alecky student I had who thought he could ask me a nonsensical “question” and get an “answer”. My response: “Write down what you just said, look up the meanings of those words (at least the ones that actually exist), and then come back to me with a question or two that make some sort of sense.”
Sorry to pop your balloon, kiddo, but we’ve got a lesson to get through here and need to stay focused.
Another one I thankfully blocked from my memory after submitting it. The true benefit of LBC: I can dump it from my brain engrams by offloading it to Nate.
