Ready Player Fun: A Shockingly Dirty and Silly Parody

by A.V. Kern

In the year 2054, reality is a really dumb place. The only time the young, freedom-loving, 1980s pop culture and sex-obsessed Bowie Jackson really feels alive is when he's huddling in a rusted metal lean-to in rural Wisconsin, jacked into the virtual, hyper-sexualized utopia known as the O-Face. Bowie's devoted his life to unlocking the puzzles of the three magic dildos left by the O-Face's creator as his in-game alter ego Felicia McFly, no matter how stupid and cringey it is to learn about pop culture that's 70 years out of date. But Bowie's the ultimate Mary Stu, so that's not going to stop him!

When Bowie joins forces with his friends Sherm the Worm, Ap0ll0, and W33b to solve the creator’s puzzles, he attracts the attention of the ultimate buzzkill: the appallingly uptight Roger Dodger and his Cult of Real Reality, who will stop at nothing, no matter how impractical, to end the antics of this group of misfits and take over the O-Face. If Bowie's going to survive, win the contest, and maybe even bang a real girl in the end, he'll have to give it everything he's got—no matter how ridiculous the circumstances or how bad the puns.

Disclaimer: This book contains coarse language, a lot of gratuitously stupid and graphic sexual situations, tons of violence, and due to its content should not be read by anyone. You’ve been warned!

This was ridiculous, but in the best NSFW kind of way. It's a fast and silly read, but it's fun and charming in a twisted way. The read is worth it all for the Ultimate Showdown reference. Good form.

I think a few hundred brain cells of my brain cells actually died while reading this book. But I'm pretty sure that was the author's intention, so two stars for accomplishing his goal.

This was hilarious. A naughty send-up of Ready Player One (a book I very much enjoyed when it came out). The Safety Dance wordplay was particularly enjoyable!

Impressively imagined and had some great features that build on Ready Player One's foundation. This was a good but not serious read.

Short and stupid, just like you'd expect. There's lots of jokes and references to the 80s here, and probably heaps I missed. All good, dumb fun.
