Anyone here ever hear of Ulillillia? I first heard about him years ago, as an autistic man who created a website detailing his life and interests in extreme detail. He now has a YouTube channel where he demonstrates tricks in video games and shows off an indie game he's developing. Many people find him very strange and difficult to relate to, but being autistic myself, he reminds me heavily of what I used to be like when I was a kid. He's basically an extreme version of myself as a kid, but grown up.
Anyway, he wrote a book and had it self-published: Legend of the 10 Elemental Masters. The book is the sort of thing I could never have written, ever. It's basically an RPG in book form, actually describing characters as having numbers appear over their heads when struck, and even has charts describing things in the book in, as you'd expect, extreme detail. The dialog is incredibly bland, and the narrative very much "this happened, then this happened".
Is anyone here familiar with him and his work? I like the guy. He really is an extreme version of my former self, before I developed better social skills and less obsessive interests. It's fun seeing what, to me, is a blast from the past, and seeing how my life might have turned out had I not become "less autistic", so to speak. Plus, he seems pretty content with his life.
