Dander's Game

I knew that twist going in and so I actually expected it to come up way way sooner than it does they do not reveal that it's at the end. Only some of the battles are real quote unquote there's a lot of actually simulated ones leading up to them that I was like how could these turn out to be real battle? It creates a whole mythos about the aliens and yelp gets into all that stuff but I remember loving the spinoff that takes the character being and turns him into the hero and tells it all from his perspective.
