A review by luverbyrd
Otaku by Chris Kluwe
2.0
2.5 stars.
I think the author should have taken more time to develop the characters and clearly expand and explain this dystopian cyberpunk type world.
I really enjoyed the premise, what the world was presented as, but I needed more explanation. The worldbuilding information came fragmented and was hard to try and piece together.
I couldn't connect with the main character, she wasn't developed enough. The only emotions I got from her was anger or neutral. I feel like Ash lacked true empathy and that's why I couldn't empathize with her, even as a female gamer dealing with some of the same things she rants about. If you want to make a real life commentary to your readers you need to make them feel what the character is going through to have it stick.
I read to the end just to see how the adventure unfolded, but I'm left with frustration because I know with time and fleshing out ideas it could have been so much better.
Great plot, I just wanted so much more for this book.
