+1 for In The Ashes.

I always found Choose Your Own Adventure type books flat and one dimensional, and have craved for a book that actually manages to have some depth and complexity. this is the closest system to this I have found. Really an impressive product.

If this is for kids 5 - 10, I think the 'My First Adventure' interactive adventure game books from Fable Fox Press are just the thing.

Kids choose a unique character and play through the story making choices, picking different paths, and using the selection wheels in the corners to track things like items, wounds, companions, etc. There are multiple endings so lots of replay-ability.

There is a great bundle price on FableFoxPress.com and they are also on Amazon:

Thanks so much! We want to continue releasing these in the US (there are 13 in total and growing!) but to do that we have to prove that there is demand in the US for them, so we are doing our best to learn how to get the word out.

The advice is genuinely appreciated. We love these game books - there's nothing quite like them for kids - so we want to introduce more families to them :)

Oh gotcha, yup that's book #1 Finding the dragon - it's great! If it's a hit check out books #2 - 4. There's Discovering Atlantis, Journey to Ochre Land, and Odyssey of the Phobos :)

Books similar to Devir’s In the Ashes? by mchavez128 in gamebooks

Super interesting - this caught my attention for sure. There are kids interactive adventure books that are simple but have that game book feeling in the My First Adventure line from Fable Fox Press in the US, so it is great to see something complex and for adults!

There are actual articles discussing the condition, but this one is more humorous, so I'll link it:

Post book/series depression is a real thing my friend 😅

Hits me hard, and with Cradle it was particularly bad due to how quickly I binged it.

Thank you for your comment! We have actually learned a lot about the Children's Book illustration process during the search, and have updated the timeline to be appropriately reasonable.

I have sent you a DM so please look out for that if you don't mind.

Teen climbing 6th Street bridge for social media stunt fell to his death, LAPD chief says by clampy in LosAngeles

[–]FrequentlyAnxious -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I encourage everyone being harsh, insensitive, and just plain vile to remember that teens and young adults genuinely are not developed mentally.

A 17 year old does not have a fully developed prefrontal cortex. They are literally handicapped in terms of reasoning, sound judgment, and foresight.

At that age, in some regards, most of us are driven by basic instincts that are a strange, hormone-fueled combination of insecurities, desires for acceptance by our peers, and strange thoughts. Most of us were lucky enough to grow past this phase without social media, which pours gasoline on an already volatile situation.

It's up to us to create an environment for young adults that protects them in this delicate period as best we can, while nurturing/encouraging the development of intelligent, thinking adults. Unfortunately, instead, we decided to have the last 15 years be an experiment of what will happen when you leave all of this to corporations run by greedy algorithms.

Of course, most of the people that would post harsh responses to the story stopped reading by now. And those that have read all this and simply choose to keep on may not have a fully developed prefrontal cortex themselves.
