If "Infernal Restraints--Red Swallow Part 1 Alice" refers to a piece of literature, an anime, a manga, a game, or any other form of media, here are a few general points you might find helpful:
The prose is baroque but controlled—think C.S. Pacat’s Captive Prince meets the gothic gloom of Laura Purcell. Paragraphs are long, sensory, and suffocating, mirroring Alice’s confinement. Action scenes (rare in Part 1, but devastating) are written in stark, monosyllabic bursts: Infernal Restraints--Red Swallow Part 1 Alice ...
Alice woke to the smell of ozone and old iron. Her wrists were heavy, bound in thick, industrial shackles that hummed with a low-frequency vibration.

Just like Apple does, when shipping your .pkg file, you may want to place it in a disk image .dmg with a beautiful background and perhaps a license agreement as well. Package Builder integrates with DMG Canvas which is the perfect tool for building your disk image. With this integration, building your disk image in DMG Canvas will now automatically build your installer in Package Builder, and place the .pkg file into your disk image, code signed, notarized, and ready to go.

Package Builder's significance is in not requiring the command line to build an installer package, but of course you can absolutely automate it as part of your own build process using the pkgbuilder command-line tool, it's a trivial single call that Just Works.
By using the pkgbuilder tool, you can integrate building your pkg files into your normal build workflow, such as building an application in Xcode. Using the pkgbuilder tool is as simple as passing it the '.pkgbuilder' and the path to save your '.pkg' file to. That's it.
