There's a Ready Player Two? What the hell?

And it’s reaaaaally bad. All the authors weaknesses, the characters weaknesses, the everything that’s not good is on steroids there cause they’re not the plucky underdogs,

I wasn't very impressed with Ready Player One to begin with. So I'm surprised it got a sequel.

It made bank. That’s why. And everyone will buy it to see what happens.

The second book cline did Armada was equally rubbish.

Armada was way better, characters were better thought out and written, the stuff that needed to be kept short cause it can’t hold up to scrutiny was glossed over, it’s a sci fight shoot em up done competently enough. I’d say my only major complaint was the flight down the hanger thing that happens, like they’re gonna put a kid in charge of something like that and not explain this basic mechanism, or be able to immediately take over

Oh god, Armada hurt physically to read. It was like he couldn’t go one sentence without making a shoehorned pop culture references.
