Slightly off-topic but I hadn't heard of The Starless Sea and, being a fan of Sunless Sea and Sunless Skies, I looked it up... seems to have some strong similarities to Sunless Seas. I was ready to be angry but I guess the author and the game studio are friendly and the similarities were approved. So now I'm adding it to my to-read because I love the Sunless games.
If you're a fan of the book I recommend checking out the games (though they definitely lean more towards horror):
