Read the sequel too. They’re just good fun, well written and not heavy reading

I didn’t read that series (referring to Ready Player One) since there was transphobic stuff the author put in the book.
But in terms of fun reading I would recommend the Monk & Robot series by Becky Chambers. It’s wholesome and heartwarming. It’s two sci-fi novellas.
I really don’t remember transphobic stuff? I read it when it first came out though
It’s only from what I heard from others and online articles. I haven’t read the books personally but that’s why I avoided them.
Ah I see I’ll give the franchise a wide berth then
Well, there’s the book he ripped off, Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson
Old Man’s War is a really fun, easy read. The aliens are pretty creative and the basic premise of old people getting new bodies to fight battles in space is fun.
If you want something with a game/tech black mirror like feeling, I recommend Daemon and Freedom by Daniel Suarez.
If you want silliness and pop culture references, Dungeon Crawler Carl should do the job
“Silliness”!?!?
I mean sure there is silly humor in it, but that series is heavy.
Matt Dinniman says himself he considers the series horror, given the themes and topics.
I would recommend Ender’s Game as sharing a number of themes as well as being easy to read.
Check out REAMDE by Neal Stephenson.

Starter Villain by the same author (John Scalzi) is a fun read.
Oh, thank you. I’m going to read it!
Almost everything by that author is a good read. I have a few minor complaints, but his work is good entertainment.
I was introduced to him via the Old Man’s War series, which I loved at the time.
My biggest problem with his work isn’t the work itself, but his chuceof narrator for audio books. I really like Wil Wheaton, but he just doesn’t do a good enough job with multiple characters and differentiating voices in most of the audiobooks I’ve listened to.
It’s why I need to get Starter Villain on ebook or physical
That’s fair. I read almost exclusively on paper.
