When you read a book or see a movie or a painting, and then create something, are you stealing those works? All artists before creating their works have acquired the knowledge of many previous works and no one calls that stealing.
Sad is that people like you dismiss a new way to play Solo RPG without trying it, not even knowing it thoroughly and without prejudice. I guess you haven't read the book, have you?

If you want a full game, get Losers, or Qurtuba if you prefer a dungeon crawler. If you like Losers, later you can get a campaign: Disgrace.
Bloodtears is an agnostic setting. It is a world to play. You need a system. Echoes of Bloodtears were characters to play inside of this setting. Now you can get a improved versión: Flesh & Bones. The Heretic Nun is a solo adventure. If you like this setting and making your own world you should get Bloodtears Companion.
Of course. The book includes examples that show how to create scenes, and how the system works in different situations and genres. You have example scenes of fantasy, science fiction, horror, post-apocalyptic genres. The Scene system also includes rules for connecting scenes in an unexpected way.
You can read the table of contents and how to create a character in the preview at Drivethrurpg.
