Where to start? I'm not gonna go over the synopsis cause it's literally right there, but it's another YA about gaming. And I'd highly recommend skipping this one.
If you've read my updates at all, then you know partially why I'm giving this one star. The main character (Simon) literally goes up to two girls after they call his love interest a slut, telling them they should learn what feminism is, and then threatens them that if they bother his love interest again, he's going to leak their nudes. You can't make this stuff up, y'all.
He's also weirdly okay with killing people if it's done by his own hands even though he spends the entire book trying to stop other people (but mostly his love interest) from being killed.
It didn't feel original either - everything was entirely too convenient and a few times I felt like I was reading Percy Jackson again. A Quest, a bunch of monsters, each with their own road block, a single person they're not aware of controlling the situation. And it's not even like that's a spoil, this was so predictable you could probably figure that out just by reading the synopsis. Every time a secret is "revealed" all the characters are like OMIGOD WHAAAT and I'm the upside down smiley face emoji.
so yeah.
If you're REALLY that interested, I'm not going to stop you, but otherwise, probably don't waste your time.
