These books are a perfect unintentional parody of this era of pop culture, which is basically just “remember this?”

I'm glad we're still making GBS threads on this book years later. It's genuinely bad in so many ways. I'm too high to effort post about it but the worst parts have to be a tie between the rant about masturbation or the Japanese players telling Wade that he is an honarable samurai.

I like the part where the Iron Giant, a parable around "What if a gun had a soul, and didn't want to be a gun?", is seen lasering motherfuckers and blowing poo poo up just because it looks cool.

It's even funnier when they dunk on it that they seem to live the first book.

Supposedly the plot of Ready Player Two is exactly like Sword Art Online (I don't watch anime so I don't know) and a YouTuber theorized that Spielberg came up with the plot for this book with Cline during production of the movie and Cline couldn't tell him "that's just Sword Art Online" so instead he had a bunch of characters reference it in the text.

Given that he's already written a book that copies the plot exactly of something else, why would Cline have any shame in doing it again?
