So Fun!!

Content warning Spoilers!

Solid fun!! Loved how they added more dimensions to the story, showed some character growth. Ending seemed a bit BS by the system and rushed though. Like, why try to kill most players especially Carl and Donut if they were making the company so so much money?!? The extended story line and circumstances of the celestial boxes were insane though!! Precursor events with the doomsday scenario just didn't make sense to me.

"Now, if you’ve never had a flaming, skull-faced bear on roller skates barreling at you full speed, you don’t know what you’re missing."

It's entertaining pulp and it reads like butter.
Highly recommended if you want some light and funny sci-fi/fantasy dungeon crawl reading

p.s. there is a talking cat. Talking pets are always a plus in my opinion.

“I worry about you sometimes,” said Donut.

"Goddammit Donut!"

This pulpy book feels a bit like a money grab with it's Ready Player One kinda pop-references and Hitchhikers Guide's bizarreness of universal scale. But it works and makes for a fun read.
It's not a hack-and-slash kinda story, but the characters are strangely intelligent, which makes you always curious how they are creatively going to save themselves out of the next situation.

So if you are in to gaming or Dungeons and Dragons and stuff, and don't have anything better to read, pick up this book :)
