    What Hacker News says

      What a fantastic article. I wonder how more rules-oriented gamebook series [1] would fare in this type of analysis. They do tend to lead to an "ideal" ending, as the author noted, so perhaps they wouldn't be as interesting. The progression graphs would be interesting to see, though.

      [1] Such as Joe Dever's wonderful Lone Wolf series. The republished versions available at projectaon.org --- and apparently back in print now --- are just as much fun as I remember.

      Joe Dever has put all of the Lone Wolf and related books online to download for free or play interactively on the website:

      https://www.projectaon.org/en/Main/Home

      That's 21 Lone Wolf books and 10 in the New Order books set in the same world, including one only published at the above site.
