In both the storyline happens in an alternative universe where the main character almost dies, only to be saved by a character that decides to help him for personal gain, not kindness. Both main characters are trying to meet and help someone dear to them, while avoiding bad guys that are after them. Both have a bit of fighting and a strong focus on the relationships of the characters. Also, both main characters were secluded from normal life (one in a forest, the other in a castle) and need help moving around. Both are definately recommended XD
