It could work, as long as each section is really, really interesting and imaginative. It is a little contrived and a little familiar, but as long as you're really original with the character's stories themselves, and as long as you're fairly aware of the fact that this section is basically character x's story, and each section in itself is original, it could be good. I mean, there's nothing in itself wrong with telling a whole bunch of stories sequentially with a framework around them. I think that following the videogame logic might be problematic, though, and lead to the thing being hackneyed and stifled, so things like having an "upgrade" are maybe not the best.

Compare something like the Demon Princes series, where each book is absolutely centered around taking out a different villain. But each villain is different enough and original enough, and the plot of each book is different enough, that it still works anyway. So you can make it work, but it's a little tougher to avoid being unoriginal. Hope this made sense and wasn't just confusing rambling, good luck to you and keep writing.
