    The first book's protagonist thinks he's playing a pixel game, so in other people's eyes, his behavior is like that of a human or a machine—he's universally recognized as "mentally ill but a genius." In his eyes, everyone else is just pixelated NPCs. The second book, as the title suggests, becomes quite angsty later on. In conclusion, both books actually meet the requirements, but the depression aspect might not fit (?).
