The Chosen Two

Qube has proven some level of sentience, so now the Chosen One and Developers want to see if the rest of the party can grow. There are more elemental temples to clear, character sidequests to unlock, and optional content to explore.

The lighthearted tone of the first book get weighed down by increasing existential crises as the story continues. It moves closer to making readers question the ethics of how they treat video game characters. Sexy Screaming Spider Lady's innuendo game gets stronger as she takes more control of her dialog. Still nothing too adult but more of it actually makes sense.
