So near the start of my novel my protagonist hops in the chair of her gaming console, rests her head on the headrest and she's in a medieval RPG game. It's full virtual reality.
The story isn't about the game, the game part will only last a chapter.
I know this is a trope, what I don't want to happen is that readers will read it and find it so unoriginal that it takes them out of the story. I don't want them to read it and their first thought is 'I've seen this a thousand times before. Ho-hum.'
Any ideas of how I can handle this?
