I think this is why I like stories like this so much, but I have yet to find books that use this same approach wholeheartedly.Ĭould anyone recommend me something like this that’s very prose focused, with detailed environments and characters that take somewhat of a back seat to their surroundings? Not stories where characters don’t exist obviously, but stories where characters fall into the setting more so than other works. I grew up playing games, and I always loved atmospheric worlds like that of Bioshock, or Silent Hill, which put a LOT into environmental storytelling and detail. I write stuff that’s more about the symbolism, and deeper meaning of the environment the characters are in, as opposed to the characters themselves, which I think says something about the stories I like. I love to write, and one thing I’ve picked up on is that I write very setting focused stories. I struggle to find the right books that really grab my attention. On paper, (no pun intended) I should love them, but for some reason it’s difficult for me to get into them. So I’ve been trying to get into books for a long time now. Got any questions or requests?
