Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })REEL (French for REAL) is a Science Fiction novel that was self-published in 2015 by Sophie Renaudin, author of the Science Fantasy series Les Enfants de Prométhée. It takes place 20 Minutes into the Future, in a society inspired by the Venus Project, where, thanks to the progress of technology and an efficient way of sharing resources, work is no longer mandatory. Everyone has an access to education, communication and entertainment thanks to The Metaverse, REAL, where every person on Earth has an individual account since birth. However, only a select few choose to do the jobs that machines can't handle. (Such as art and psychiatry.)In spite of his mother's insistence that he gets a job, Neru would much rather spend all his time on REAL playing video games, which he excels at. In The Metaverse, he meets the mysterious Likaï, whom he admires from afar and develops feelings for.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Everything changes when Neru's latest victory wins him a place in an exceptional online tournament: other people envy his chance to participate, and Neru's naivety might cost him everything.

Always Someone Better: In spite of Neru's Game-Breaker abilities as Likaï's sentient partner, they still struggle through the Future Tournament due to Likaï's inexperience as a player, while Sasha gets a perfect score fair and square, crushing Likaï's hopes of winning the AI. Remember, kids: cheating doesn't beat real talent.

Ambiguous Gender: Likaï changes the appearance and gender of their avatar constantly. Neru refers to them as a 'he' or a 'she' depending on the current gender of their avatar. This behavior is common online, but Neru is too embarrassed to ask directly about someone's gender, in spite of his friends' claims that people do it all the time.
