Super fun audiobook, the narrator is great!
I'd describe this book as like a more diverse YA Ready Player One set in Tokyo.

I was a bit weirded out by Emika and Hideo's relationship because I don't really remember them saying how old he was, but I feel like he must have been at least close to 30?? and she is 18.

Will be reading/listening to the sequel.

Moderate: Violence, Cursing, and Injury/Injury detail

I don't know why anyone is adding rape as a TW unless I missed something. It is only mentioned in passing once at the end of the book in a way that is just like "we live in a world where rape happens"
