From Reality to Fiction is a series of books written by Sammy Jo Strauss. The first book, North America, was self published, and it and the beginning of Book 2, Asia, have been uploaded online.

Sam is just an ordinary girl, she has her friends and her perfect boyfriend. Nothing could get worse, nothing could get better. Or so she thought. Her whole life turned out to be a huge lie when she discovers the door that she was never meant to be found. Her friends and boyfriend are androids, her whole life was based on a lie. She has been a simple rat all her life, being watched by other people, as a betting game to see her reaction to certain scenarios and guess what she would do next. Then she meets 956, a boy who is in the same situation as her that she never knew about. They work together to find a way to reach the outside world before the game ends, along with their lives.

Tropes used in From Reality to Fiction include:

Aerith and Bob: Names within the dome range from normal names, such as Sam or Alex, to 956, who is the only one to have a number for a name.
Alpha Bitch: Myrnna is stated by Elaine to be "The popular mean girl" in her school.
Author Avatar: Sam to Sammy Jo Strauss, which is obvious as soon as you notice that they have the same exact name.
Chastity Couple: Sam and Max were this, considering that they put off even kissing.
Informed Attractiveness: Sam
Nightmare Sequence: Elaine has one in the beginning of Book 2: Asia
Ridiculously Human Robots: Let's face it, they have to be if Sam never noticed they weren't human.
Self-Insert Fic: Well, not a fanfiction, but it fits the bill otherwise.
Unlucky Childhood Friend: Alex, seeing as Max went for Sam instead.
Wanton Cruelty to The Common Comma: In the online version at least, there are multiple instances where a comma was used where it shouldn't have been.
What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart Anyway: Kimiko's power is that she "knows how things work"
