Seems like there’s a very interesting idea for a setting looming around here. While I think that the writing could use some touch-ups to add more detail and build-up the world, this short segment of it does showcase a lot of potential space for characters and “wild” adventures. However, that’s really as much as I can comment towards right now. I am left with some curiosity towards how you’re going to do the visuals and the rest of the story though.
Ironically, we already had a similar idea for this once, only with a biologist and wacky marine creatures and what not, so I funnily found some semblance with this. Good luck on writing the rest of this! Cheers! 🐳
