Or get eaten by it. Or, a secret third option in a horrible twist ending.

Read (novel): This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me (Ilona Andrews): Isekai, not litRPG, our main character uses her liberal arts education, her not-at-all-obsessive knowledge of the uncompleted fantasy series she’s been eaten by, and the one superpower she got, to try to avert the doom that is coming. It is a lot grottier and less mythic, but it gives strong Long Live Evil vibes.

Read (from the shelf): FAIL.

Written (second rewrite of new project): 237.
