I read a very interesting novel or book about aliens accidentally discovering humans and finding out how dangerous they are, where the galaxy got scared of humans and their potential to wipe out all life or dominate. It was about an ordinary human abducted by aliens going through immigration then suddenly alien terrorists arrive and the weak-looking human kills all the alien terrorist bare handed. The alien's guns only hurt but didn't kill the human. The way the author described the situation was through the eyes of the spectator alien (the immigration officer) yet at the same time, giving enough detail so that it is relatable to us, human readers. Is there some sort of rule or template on writing foreign perspective but unexpectedly delivers relatability and humor? How do you make a perspective that should be completely different from us, but at the same time, can only be understood in a fourth-wall-breaking weird kind of way.
