Another World, According to German Standards

Description
I was told I had been summoned to a world of magic.Of gods, heroes, and monsters.Of destiny, prophecies, and the battle against ultimate evil. What I found instead were missing handrails, inadequate escape routes,and a completely unregulated approach to dragon management. My name is Max Mustermann. I am a lawyer, specialized in construction and administrative law,and a certified German standards inspector. And if this world believes it can exist without regulations,it is gravely mistaken. What to expect • Ideas and changes proposed by Max pay off later. Real change takes time. • Bureaucracy vs fantasy logic • Weaponized professionalism • Structural, legal, and procedural disasters • Extremely dry humor • Audience interaction & scenario suggestions • A kingdom that may collapse — but this time, with proper documentation. Interactive project As Max travels through this world, he will encounter collapsing systems, questionable architecture, heroic improvisation, and an impressive number of problems that could have been avoided with basic planning. Readers are invited to suggest situations they would like to throw him into — disasters, political messes, logistical nightmares, or everyday risks everyone else has somehow learned to live with. I will pick the scenarios that fit the story best and then we will observe, calmly and professionally, what happens when a man who believes in standards, procedures, and responsibilities is forced to deal with them. Notes on style: Max’s analytical way of thinking and the technical POV were partly inspired by The Martian by Andy Weir. This tale employs a deliberately procedural, bureaucratic tone and a fragmentary structure, reflecting Max Mustermann’s analytical worldview and dry deadpan humor. As Max gradually becomes more human, the narration slowly shifts as well — with longer paragraphs and fewer fragmented observations. Max Mustermann is not designed to be likable. He isnecessaryanddesigned to be the Peak of German Evolution. Regular releases: Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday
