Let's be honest... Who's here because of that one Tumblr post?
This is the first (and probably only) Minecraft novelization I've read. The idea of a Minecraft novel never occurred to me before this, and frankly doesn't sound all that interesting (even having been a Minecraft nut as a kid). But the thought of an isekai-like story was intriguing.

It's middle grade, so it's a light one-day read. It might be confusing if you know nothing about Minecraft, like an inside joke that doesn't make sense. Even so, it's entertaining. You'd think a story about a person trying to survive on a deserted island would be boring, but MC's relationship with Moo (Wilson 2.0?) is adorable. Somehow the plot twists are surprising (mostly). Or maybe I underestimated the book and wasn't paying enough attention...

Either way, the book captures the essence of playing Minecraft. I recommend it if you like/d the game. Reading it won't change your life, but at least you'll have fun!
