Ready Player One has an interesting premise and interesting history. However, those things fall apart in dense info dumps and a "Mary Sue" protagonist. Anything Wade needs to accomplish, he is an expert at, even in those moments when others are seemingly more clever and resourceful. Only one thing happens in the book to shake Wade even slightly, though he recovers quicker than I did (which is ridiculous). Wade's obstacles seem to be present more to show the reader how ingenious he is without actually placing him in any danger of failing and the side characters are just puppets to support his success.
