I did something similar a while ago with Lone wolf books: https://notes.atomutek.org/gamebooks-and-graph-theory.html

I didn't become a reverse engineer but that landed me a job when I was explaining how I used networkx library and handled a couple of edges around detecting cycles during the interview :)

I built the ardutouch and it was a fun experience: https://notes.atomutek.org/diy-music-synth.html

I recommend it for a first hardware project.

I wrote about something similar: is power metal really about dragons? [0]

All the analysis is backed by stats and NLP :)

This is excellent. I love the classification of bands by the words most important to them, and the subsequent clustering by subject.

I have done a similar analysis of the Lone Wolf series [1].
