Its a trend I dont like, good stories with great concept that are written in a haste or written for an audible recording so they are intentionally short. they leave you with a feeling that something is missing, you wish they added more context and meat to the characters or backstory.
Here is a similar case, very cool setting and great narration and it all starts well, but along the way you feel that characters are a bit shallow and empty and its because you are missing context and backstory, like the story is rushed.
The story ends with no much fanfare and leaves you wanting to know more, as the concept was solid. Its a shame.
