There is a LOT of information and world building in this book. I wouldn’t say it was unnecessary, but I will say, at times, it was overwhelming and took away from the urgency of the hunt. I’m sure I would feel different if I was more into VR and video games.
I saw another reviewer say they liked how, even though most of the story takes place in a virtual reality, the characters still deal with real problems, and I completely agree.
I was definitely rooting for the main characters (the IOI can rot), but I didn’t really connect with any of them. But, again, I realize I might feel differently if I was still a teenager and/or more into VR and video games.

Wouldn’t recommend for younger readers. Lots of cursing, a few paragraph discussion on masturbation, and other brief mentions of things that can be found in the OASIS (like porn, etc.).hoey_girlboss_queen's review against another edition
