Mythic GME is a big complex tool. It's not just an oracle. It has spark words and lists for tracking goals and characters, not to mention the variations. It's all to emulate a GM. You may be looking for a more simplified system like One-Page Mythic GME. Or just a simple oracle like Recluse.
Mythic is great but it's not the one solution. If you bounce off it, don't let it discourage you. You have to find a system that works for you.
Good luck on your soloing.
I like it because it's comprehensive, to be fair.
Well then, you should start stealing ideas from other solo games like Iromsworn to fill any gaps. Sounds like you got it handled.
