Hi /lit/ let's talk about this piece of shit

Characters
>cringiest dialogue I've ever read in a book
>characters are all unappealing zero-dimensional assholes or offensive stereotypes
>H: Asswipe Dickface! Assboy. Dickbutt. We're bros! Yo! Give me a butt-five, dickface! *bumps butts with Parsival*
>Art3mis: I'm the only gurl but strongker and cooler than any man. *unsheathes katana* BRING IT BOIS
>Shoto & Daito: IT IS YEAR 2045 OF INTERNET GLOBALIZATION AND I AM FROM EXOTIC AND TRADITIONAL CULTURU OH HERRO I AM A NOBERU SAMURRAI *BOWS DEEPRY*
>Le Evil Disney Businessman: We're going to cut the funding of the Mighty Ducks.

Plotholes and Idiocy
>"A clue? What does it say? Test... rest... mest... jest... Jester! The riddler! This clue means that the key is on Ridiculon! To the batmobile!"
>"OH SHIT People are trying to kill me, so I'm going to keep a high profile, even though I say it's important to keep a low profile"
>I can hack my account balance to change my identity, give myself real money or erase debt, and I'm still wasting time on this shitty contest when I could just hack myself 100000000000000000000000000000000000 credits and buy IOI

Ending
>"Thanks for playing my labyrinthine autistic 80s trivia game on my miraculous technological achievement unequaled in the history of man, but, ultimately, I wish I'd just gotten laid. Get some pussy, kid."

No, it has its good points, but some aspects of it are so ridiculously bad in comparison. It's really weird to read it, because it's so uneven.

I thought The Martian was bad, then I got handed this for my birthday. I'd honestly rather get ass cancer again than have to re-read this pile of dogshit, it is offensively bad. also kind of depressing as well when you read about how it got published, the author was so pants-on-head retarded that he wrote a screenplay with the gimmick of using big brand corporate trademarks as much as possible, got laughed out of Hollywood and then somehow managed to fall into a book deal and get rich off muh nostalgia and muh autism.

great workout for the face though, the cringe muscles working in overdrive really toned my cheeks

I enjoyed it much like I enjoy McDonald's cheeseburgers. I know they aren't good for me but I don't give a fuck, I liked it and there's nothing you can do about it.
