medium-paced

• Loveable characters? No

2.0

I disliked every single character here and thus had a hard time relating or empathizing with them. The writing is so bad, half screenplay half novel it feels like someone much younger and inexperienced wrote it. Shoutout to the seven (?) asian women named Anna Lee!

I liked this so much more than what I thought I would. it's a gamers (non derogatory) coming of age and considering I know very little about gaming it was still very much enjoyable. lloré, me rei, sufrí por los personajes y sus fallas como personas completas. I loved the NPC part.

I really didn't like this book. The characters were unlikeable and got in their own way and that ultimately hindered them. They both are really terrible people that have been dealt a bad hand and don't make the most of it. Also Sam, is written as seemingly autistic and I don't think it was mentioned at all. So idk, I really didn't like it and don't get the hype.
