this was fucking hilarious and i never would’ve thought a minecraft novel would be on my top survival books list but there it is. the MC has a thought process about the new minecraft environment that makes a lot of sense and was interesting to read even as someone who knows like everything about the game. it wasn’t boring to read about someone learning the game. it was also heart wrenching when tragedy struck the MC, which again i wouldn’t expect a minecraft novel to tug the heart strings like that
