Have you tried reading book after watching their somewhat faithful movie adaptation ? ( Harry Potter serie, No Country for Old Man, The Hunt For Red October... ).

Some video game were also developped into books, either officialy or in fanfiction.

There are also whole genre of book where the character is reincarnated as a video game character ( isekai, litRPG... ) or the whole reality is turned into a RPG with numbers ( Apocalyspe System genre... ).

You might also try Audible book, where someone else do the reading for you and you just have to do the listening.

Do you "cheat" video game to bypass annoying/boring challenges or to skip the story itself and get to the ending and the Steam achievement ?
