Mundane LitRPG

Brainstormed with Claude AI

Core idea: HUD/skill-tracking element, but for mundane skills (Excel, dishwashing) instead of combat
Narrator/System presence stays permanently unexplained; if the story ends, the narrator just goes away
Spouse notices protagonist doing more chores — subtle gamification-as-motivation beat
Possible multiple characters: some have the narrator/System, some don’t; no plot requirement to link their stories
Thematic aim: poke fun at how humans narrate their own lives
To rework: structure/plot, whether multiple character threads converge at all
