Speaking of 'just novels', anyone who wants to read a decent English book in the genre of video game protagonist breaks the system, there's the two books of Epic and Saga (Saga is the sequel). Some excerpts from Epic's wikipedia page:



Ain't it just magical. :allears:

Epic was decent enough, it's got a YA novel feel though. Some characters are flat and are eliminated quickly, stakes are set up but the impact is lessened. We are made to accept some things really quickly, and there are some asspulls to move the plot along.

Though, I am moving on to the next book, the teaser is great. Only one packet of data. :allears:

Considering it's won multiple children's book awards, yeah, that's an understatement.

:v: I was just saying for people who go in thinking it's a standard novel.

It never does anything creepy with a boy playing a female character as well, which is a huge step up from almost every other book/other media that touch on that idea. It's really worth a read.
