Too Complex: It's a (Enter Difficulty Setting Here) Life
from Literary Titan Hosted by Literary Titan
Hardcore gamer, Cody Redbond becomes too addicted to the online battle royal game, Fantasy Estate. For over a month, his obsession with receiving achievements within the game soon ignites a detrimental stain on his life. He loses his job, social skills and soon his apartment. Property manager, Corey Dwellen and leasing agent, Mavirna Holmes arrive with an attorney and court order for his eviction. Due to the lack of Cody cleaning after himself, the apartment is now a wide labyrinth covered with filth and unimaginable pests run amok. They must now survive their way to reach Cody in this wacky and surreal adventure with laughs along the ride. Author Anthony Moffett takes a common form of performance art known as video games and exploits both the positive and negative effects it can have on the human brain and its functions through subtle storytelling. Gaming is known to improve decision making skills especially when it requires thinking rapidly, otherwise that'll be your last thought on Earth. It can also mitigate the most prevalent mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety; however, it can trigger some rather...inimical effects like your first dopamine kick. Playing it for the pleasure of winning without many challenges may come off as soothing, but that won't stop it from being as addictive in the ill-fated nature as drug abuse. 📖 Available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4rCkyin
