Gr8_Nate

Real life didn’t have checkpoints. Games did. Nate understands virtual worlds better than the real one. In games, the rules are clear, failure is temporary, and progress is measurable. In life, everything feels heavier — expectations, loneliness, and the quiet pressure to keep going when he’s not sure he can. On the night everything threatens to collapse, Nate retreats deeper into the one place that’s ever made sense. But escape can only carry him so far. Gr8_Nate is a gamer-forward novel about mental health, survival, and the friendships that make continuing possible. It doesn’t romanticize darkness or offer easy fixes. Instead, it explores how connection, patience, and persistence can slowly change the way the world feels — even when there’s no reset button. This is a story for readers who: Found refuge in video games when real life hurt - Want honest mental health representation withoutclichés - Love quiet, character-driven stories with hope - Believe found family can matter as much as blood - Know that sometimes “winning” just means staying Gr8_Nate isn’t about being great. It’s about learning how to press continue.
