The term “awesome” in literature is often employed to evoke a sense of overwhelming power, wonder, or even dread. Authors use it to capture moments where the natural, the human, or the supernatural appears vast and formidable—from the oppressive silence or intensity that fills a room [1, 2, 3] to the raw, fearsome display of forces like nuclear weaponry or catastrophic landscapes [4, 5, 6]. At times, it shapes characters and settings, be it the imposing persona of a beastish figure [7] or the majestic allure of a cityscape [8]. The word also conveys paradoxical sentiments, reflecting both admiration and irony, as it may express awe at an extraordinary spectacle or even be used in a tongue-in-cheek manner to underscore modern pleasures [9, 10]. Consistently, “awesome” enriches narrative tone by suggesting that some experiences are too grand or profound to be captured by ordinary language [11, 12, 13].
