2023 oddly specific genre challenge - hosted by hjerteknuser

a tie-in novel
"that's not oddly specific" what could possibly be more odd and more specific than someone being paid to sit down and write a shitty 150 pages about a franchise that's just past its peak?  i promise you there's something you love that has had a resentful lil thingie written in its universe. (sometimes theyre actually decent!) (i'll count novelisations but ONLY as a last resort)
