(DESCRIPTION UNDER RECONSTRUCTION. REWRITE IN PROGRESS, SEE LATEST CHAPTER FOR DETAILS).

Elevator pitch: Reserved inventor meets teen Jack Sparrow/Luffy, goes on romp across magitech/oceanpunk setting, exploring fantastical environments inimicable to non-native life filled with equally hostile creatures of varying levels of terrifying a la Made in Abyss. Starts off with an advantage but no experience, slowly grows his repertoire and competence over time.

Expect: Adventure, fish-gods, fish-god-dads, mentions of questionable parenting, depictions of sailing as written by an author who has only ever briefly set foot on a boat, crabs, surreal environments, action scenes(!), crafting (overly descriptive process only the first time), and as many fish/ocean puns as I can reasonably get away with.
