Yeah. I wish more adult fiction was at least somewhat illustrated! Honestly, the people who illustrate children's books are criminally underrated artists, a lot of that artwork is really dang good, and just gets dismissed as "small children's media, so can't possibly have any real artistic value".

Oh yeah. Even just having like a picture at the start of each chapter can be very helpful with immersion.

Toddler comment right there. Lol. Sounds like a three year old. (Not derogatory. I just think it's funny. And yeah, pictures do help, and are really good additions to a work of fiction.)
