I’m currently reading Conor Kostick’s YA trilogy Epic, Saga, and Edda.
They have a similar theme - artificial universes/games which overlap each other and the “real world”. Some of the constructs are strictly non-sentient NPCs. Others “think they’re people”. Some of those can interface with the “real world” via robot bodies.
Quite liking them, nothing groundshaking but deftly handled and fun. Recommended for Happy Mutants or their (pre-)teens.
