I just can't imagine that a grown man wrote this

>Picture for ants
I enjoyed Ready Player One as poolside reading while I was on vacation, something that demanded little - an unhealthy snack/guilty pleasure. The problem is, the moment I started giving it any degree of reflection, it retroactively seemed weaker and weaker, crumbling to badness even in my memories.
Worst Moment Nominations:
>Daito and Shoto calling Parzival "honorable," because that's how people from Japan talk.
>Art3mis' avatar's good looks referred to as "the superior product, for consumption by the superior man" (I bet the author thinks he's feminist too)
>The fact that Cline's decision to make the "Lacero" fanfiction canon means that his alleged heroes are retroactively the villains of their own story.
>The wank passage
>The god isn't real passage
>The moment when you realize that there's no way Parzival will be able to keep the Oasis in line when he has no real qualifications outside a pathetically encyclopedic knowledge of 80s/90s trivia.

there is no depth too low for him to sink to.

>Cline sold the rights to publish the novel in June 2010, in a bidding war to the Crown Publishing Group (a division of Random House).[1]
Not only did an grown man write this, but several grown men with real jobs at publishing companies read it and decided that it was worth paying a lot of money to unleash it upon the public.

Not only did several grown men with real jobs start a 'bidding war' over this cultural detritus, they were vindicated in this behavior by the work being commercially successful with its main consumers being young men.

Sounds like they were pretty good at their jobs. It's almost like you don't understand what a publishing house is.

Holy fuck

this was on my to-read list, but fuck me.
you really need to reevaluate your life when your serious book reads EXACTLY like an unfunny parody commentary in a bad gamer web comic.
