The protagonist Laura, alias Johanna, in No-LIMIT-Rooms has ADHD, as the AI analyzed when I created a profile retrospectively.
I have been writing the story since 2020, so it is guaranteed to be free of AI text. But I now use AI for translation and correction.
When I created the character, I naturally had a personality in mind, a person composed of people I know—and myself.
The ADHD diagnosis hit me like a blow, and in retrospect, it even makes sense. Laura/Johanna is impulsive, constantly jumps from one thought to another, takes risks, and has crashes. She constantly links events that have nothing to do with each other, overwhelming those around her. And, like the author himself, she is unaware of her disorder. She suffers from it, but has no diagnosis. This is something that weighs heavily on those affected.
I myself have had a medical confirmation for three months. If I had received the diagnosis as a teenager, my life would probably be different today. But these stories would never have been written. They could only have been written this way.
With this background knowledge, some readers may evaluate Johanna completely differently. Her sometimes strange behavior suddenly makes sense.
And I have included a lot of quotes in the story. References to advertising (German state of Baden-Württemberg: We can do everything – except speak standard German!), books, films, and shows. I hope some readers will enjoy that.
Maybe someone will take the trouble to collect them all? :D
