Prophecy Approved Companion is set inside a game but the main character is an NPC rather than a human player. Qube should have died in an opening cutscene but the hero manages to glitch the game so she survives. She tags along as he continues to break the world.

The first third of the book is okay, but as Qube deviates from her programming the story picks up. Qube is an interesting perspective character and her eventual existential crisis's are delicious. The Chosen One starts out obnoxious but gets better over time. Other companion characters join up as the story progresses.

The game world and game story feel like an old school RPG, similar to Lunar: The Silver Star Story. The tone is mostly light and humorous. One of the companion characters is the “sexy” archetype, who makes constant innuendo that usually falls flat. The game censors the player's swearing. I'd call it fine for younger teens.
