You might also want to check out some of the "light novels <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_novel>" from Japan Right now there are a lot of them about characters being "reborn" into virtual, video game-like fantasy worlds. Some of the publishers who release them (both digitally and in print) are: J-Novel Club <https://j-novel.club/> Seven Seas Entertainment's Airship imprint <https://sevenseasentertainment.com/light-novels/> Yen Press <https://yenpress.com/yen-on/> The Bookwalker site has a page where they list some of the most popular titles <https://global.bookwalker.jp/categories/3/light-novels/>. Many of the popular light novels get adapted into manga, but the prose version came first. Square Enix Books also has some Final Fantasy novels. Final Fantasy XV: The Dawn Of The Future <https://squareenixmangaandbooks.square-enix-games.com/en-us/product/9781646090006> (short story collection I think) Final Fantasy VII Remake: Traces Of Two Pasts <https://squareenixmangaandbooks.square-enix-games.com/en-us/product/9781646091775> (out January, 2023) And it looks like Yen Press published some too. Though they've also published a lot of manga I _think_ these ones are all prose. Final Fantasy XIII Episode Zero: Promise <https://yenpress.com/9781975382407/final-fantasy-xiii-episode-zero-promise/> Final Fantasy I ** II * II: Memory of Heroes <https://yenpress.com/9781975382391/final-fantasy-i-ii-iii/> Final Fantasy VII: On the Way to a Smile Final Fantasy VII: The Kids Are Alright: A Turks Side Story Best, Matthew > Date: Sun, 20 Nov 2022 15:06:20 -0500 > From: Gretchen McCluskey <[log in to unmask]> > Subject: Books like Final Fantasy Games > > I'm looking for books like Final Fantasy games.
