Reading Paths — Curated Tours

Twelve guided sequences through the compendium. Each path picks 8–20 reports in a deliberate order so you finish with a complete understanding of one angle on Grand Theft Auto VI.

If you have ~30 minutes, pick any path and read top-to-bottom. Most paths cross multiple sections — that is the point.

How the paths work

Each path file contains:

• A short framing paragraph (why this path exists, who it is for)
• A numbered reading list with each entry linked
• A "where to go next" footer pointing at adjacent paths
