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
