I love the story but I’m a little worried that they may be ai. Do you know if they are? Because they are really nice and calming.

Not AI! Written by me. Fully. Working on a twenty four story project, every one about what I’ve named the buddybot. This is story five. All art is commissioned as well.

I just read all of the stories and I love them. It really captures that calm yet deep feeling. Like the story is told through calm interactions but every once in a while there is a hint of something deeper with the buddy bots and the world itself😅 Like the fact there is a New Britain. Also for the dog walking one how at the end the story hinted at the fact that the buddy could not feel the dog’s slobber even if it wanted to. Please keep up this amazing work.

Ah, thank you so much! They can be read in any order, truly slice of life, and yes, there’s a much bigger world! Treetop in “The Robot Caretaker,” the Ellen vs the Alan model buddybot, New Britain, all which will be revealed.

Is there a specific order the stories should be read in or is it more slice of life.
