The dragon's decision to stay in the mortal realm to guide the souls of the dead reminded me a bit of the bodhisattvas in some Buddhist traditions where some enlightened ones will choose to reincarnate and/or interact with the mortal realm somehow to guide other souls to enlightenment.
I found reading it on the desktop to be a fine experience - but I'm also used to reading comics on the desktop as well, where I zoom into the panels and such, so I may not be a good baseline here, sorry... 😅
This is a really profound little story. The thing that sticks with me is how lonely Marcus' life was, spent in search of power and glory instead of love. A lesson for all of us, including those of us who are called to be artists. "Teach us to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom." (Psalm 90:12.)
I will say it is somewhat hard to read on desktop because the images are taller than my screen. Not sure how you fix that other than by changing the aspect ratio to 1:1 or something similar. I guess maybe you could also adjust the size to a height of 1080?
Really cool experiment though. The story and visuals were both great!
Unfortunately, there’s not a good answer to this. I optimized the images to work on a smartphone in the app. Try it again that way. Click on the first image and then you can just swipe through the rest.
I enjoyed the story and the art! 😄

I loved the story. It reminded me of an old D&D joke: "I didn't ask how big the room was, I said I cast fireball" 😂
I think I’ve played D&D with that guy in the past.

ok. Sounds good. Trade offs must be made sometimes.
