It is a written book, but character strength progression is similar to what we know from role playing games, i.e. usually there are classes, skills, stats and last but not least some set of rules for progression. While classical RPG systems had such rules out of necessity to allow human players to meaningfully interact with the world. While such a system seems absolutely pointless for a book, where the author can make up any shit he likes as he goes along, it is nevertheless oddly satisfying to read, due to the protagonists steady growth. For anyone from our generation such RPG style progression must have been ingrained into our minds as supremely pleasurable. Overall it is some weird brain hack to squeeze out dopamine.
