And yet…something about following a journey of levelling up and amassing virtual power works on my brain almost exactly like actually playing the game would and I’m probably going to read all the rest of the series. And I guess I’m not alone because apparently this series kicked off a whole cottage industry of “LitRPG” novels with a similar approach. I can’t vouch for those either. Probably don’t follow me down this rabbit hole.

I inadvertently read a “LitRPG” book last month, and I had a very similar reaction: it was objectively bad and yet it kinda checked a box for me. Not going to continue in the series though.
