Does this even work?

Every "Choose your own adventure book" I ever read had the correct path, and every wrong choice had a 5 page "And then you died.. go back to (page x).".

No intertwining anything.

You read bad ones then. I picked up a huge stack at a book fair called Lone Wolf circa 1985 about a psychic warrior monk. Each book has multiple paths that can lead to victory.

Sounds nice. So Lone Wolf is the title of the books?

I found out the books can also be read online, printed out, or downloaded for ereaders through this project with blessings from the author:

Ah, good stuff. There was an android app that allowed you to read them and automatically kept track of your items and health. I just looked and I think the project is dead now unfortunately, but it got me through some boring days at work.

Notepad app and dice roller for me. Great books for flights since the books themselves were small enough to fit in my pocket

Many books have a more complex structure than simply an acyclic directed graph; an ending often has multiple ways of being reached.
