Six Truths About Video Game Stories

The Visual Novel Database

This is exactly why I don't play single-player games anymore, not even JRPGs which are supposed to be more story-focused but which just end up going the safe and mainstream route anyways, especially if they're a big-budget production similar to AAA games in the west. Grinding against AI enemies is totally pointless (well at least until real "AI" akin to Alphago becomes popularized I guess). If I want to be challenged in terms of gameplay, I play against other human players in multiplayer games (I don't do that either since this year, as it can ultimately be perceived as a repetitive timesink from which you get nothing new). Nowadays I pretty much just read visual novels https://vndb.org/, when not reading actual traditional books. I believe it's still a relatively niche genre in the west, though its popularity outside of Japan has been steadily growing in the last decade. There's truly no limit to the authors' creativity in the world of VN, and you get all sorts of thought-provoking and sometimes even life-changing (not an exaggeration, see reviews for the highest-rated VN of all time https://vndb.org/v92) experience, which when delivered well cannot be replicated in any other medium.
