That's because you think it is a single story. If you can't find value in all the stories within, I can understand it, but it is truly sad. If you truly believe endings are all that matter and not journeys, I find that tragic in the truest sense. I mean the end for you, will be death. Same as mine. Same as everyone. That's it. But I don't want to rush to the end, I want to live the stories in between and they are worth it. That's it with every story, be it a life or a book or a show.

And it's fine that different people value different things, I just find it a tragedy to miss the journey just because all the focus is on death.

It is!

Also no conflicts are solved by punching their way through them and it is very agile. I hope you enjoy it and, if possible and you do read it, let me know some time what you thought about it.

This won't be the usual recommendation, but I think you might enjoy it a lot.

The long way to a small angry planet by Becky Chambers. Beautiful, poignant, funny, two main characters fulfill your no drama wlw request without it being THE focus of the novel, and you'll have a good time like hanging with new friends.
