That’s a neat observation. Corruption does tend to force a book into new patterns, almost like a second, unintended author is shaping the text. It’s not pretty, but there’s a strange logic in how the characters re‑align. If you’re collecting them, treat each one like a puzzle—see if there’s a hidden narrative in the chaos. And don’t forget to back up the originals before you start a full‑on excavation.

Just keep an eye on the recurring motifs—some corrupted books will start repeating the same line or phrase at irregular intervals, almost like a glitchy chorus. Check the byte structure too; sometimes the errors line up with certain encoding blocks, which can hint at the original format. If a section seems almost legible, try overlaying it on the original to see what’s been swapped. And remember, the most interesting “stories” often come from the parts that look completely unreadable at first glance.
