again, WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT ART??!!! jen wang did it again.
i guess the premise of the story was good, but the execution made me feel lowkey uncomfortable for some parts (the purpose of the protagonist, the whole protest situation and how asian culture was somewhat being presented), and the story was just ok.
p.s. i adore how raymond's final avatar looked like.

Es bonita, corta, entretenida, imágenes hermosas, video juegos y mujeres empoderadas. Perfecta para pasar una tarde ❤
Real, honest, and very interesting. This is a narrative that speaks to how big the world is and how the internet and video games have real impact on people's lives.

I understand the message behind it but it was portrayed so poorly.
There’s a million things wrong with this book, but I don’t even care. I loved the art and the main character and it was adorable. The plot was not believable and there was quite a few convenient plot points (which I hate), but it was a cute quick read. AND I ADORE THE MAIN CHARACTER. SHE’S ADORABLE.

A cute book, quick read. Themes of consumerism, online safety, labor unions, and community. While I may not be the target audience for this book, I really enjoy Jen Wang's art, and I'd like to read more from Cory Doctorow.

This was an interesting story that delved into gaming and the related economies that can pop up. It was a good exploration of how some people aren't goldfarming just for fun or because they want to, but that they're forced to and that it's their job and the only way they can make money for their family.
I also liked that while it was a simplistic look at the situation overall, it showed that there weren't any easy solutions. We see the possible outcomes regarding worker action, especially in the conversation with her dad. While it's not clear if everything will be solved, it does show that people have to stand together to work towards change.
