About This Novel
The original novel of the movie "Ready Player One" directed by Spielberg is a science fiction classic known as the "Geek Bible". In 2045, the real world is ugly. There's only one place where Wade Watts comes to life: the Oasis. This is a virtual universe that you can fully immerse yourself in. Most of humanity spends its time here. The eccentric creator of the Oasis is dead. He left the world with a series of tricky puzzles, the clues to which are hidden in pop culture elements from decades ago. The music, movies and games of that era were the loves of his life. The first person to solve these mysteries will become the heir to his vast fortune - the one who rules the oasis. Wade solved the first mystery. In the blink of an eye, he became the target of all forces. In order to win the ultimate prize, these forces will do whatever it takes. Don't hesitate to commit murder. The game begins. The only way to survive is to become a winner. It has profoundly affected the outlook on virtual reality and even the entire technology industry in the United States. Palmer Luckey, the founder of the legendary VR company Oculus and a Forbes young entrepreneur in the United States, requires every employee to read this book. It is a famous work by the American pop culture genius Ernst Klein. It has a new translation and 243 color illustrations and text annotations.

I watched the movie and it was actually a cartoon.
Incarnate as the protagonist and save the world. The holy wolf kills the living beings, kills the Buddha when he blocks the Buddha, and then kills a girl.
How did some words come to be so bold when translated into English?
The movie is good?9?3?9?3?9?3
Well enough
The movie is good, but the novel seems a bit incomprehensible

After watching the movie, I will come back to read the original novel
The translation is very local 😘
The movie adaptation was very successful, and the novel gave me a different feeling! But not bad
It looks very comfortable, but a bit short.
The movie is more watchable (or commercial in nature), and I would like to state that this is not a preconceived idea.
The overall feeling of the novel is more realistic and more despairing. Except for the heroine, no one has thought about trying to change the real life at all. In other words, everyone is addicted to the virtual and completely escapes the dilemma of real life (such as the protagonist, such as H, such as Halliday). Of course, if this were not the case, there would be no "Oasis" and all these stories. Three Keys, the movie has a new definition of the meaning behind the three keys, the regret of the past, the regret of love, and the respect for the spirit of the game (in the movie, when the protagonist gave up killing the breaker in the last room and said, "He wants to win," I really felt the protagonist's game spirit as a player, and the final answer, "The game is not about the result, but about the process.") In the novel, the three keys are just pure word games. (It's not even an exaggeration to say that if it weren't for the annotated version, I wouldn't even be able to understand these jokes. I don't think many people would understand... After all, there are not many game enthusiasts who were playing games at that time and still remember these contents.) At the end of the movie, when the protagonist got the easter egg, he burst into tears. I don't know how many people cried after watching this scene. Anyway, my wife and I both cried (we didn't watch it on the same day because we missed the movie's release date, and we watched it separately from tx videos later). My wife and I are in online dating, and each has fifteen or sixteen years of gaming experience. Although as we grow older, we play fewer and fewer games, but as players, the excitement of finally getting through the game still made us shed tears in unison (perhaps this is why the movie is more sensational than the novel) Going back to the topic I mentioned earlier about novels being more real and realistic, the movie is indeed utopian. In the novel, the five people in the protagonist camp do not trust each other (even with swords, otherwise there would be no situation where they don't know each other's names and addresses). Only when their own lives are really affected After the threat, they truly united together, and after the letter calling on all players was sent out, the protagonist's camp considered that they might just come and watch and not deal with it. This is very realistic, but in the movie, it seems that "every player should do this as a matter of course." This logic is very strange. To sum up, the movie is beautiful and the novel is more realistic. We live in such a realistic reality, and of course we hope that everything can be better. The game itself was born because of this, so I still think the movie is better. I agree with someone above and give it one star less because of the abrupt ending.
Movie
The movie was okay, but after watching it for a long time, I didn't understand who the male protagonist was.
I deducted one point for the abrupt ending (). I was also looking forward to seeing him announce the closure of the "Oasis" every Thursday, but it turned out that the novel didn't use this plot at all... I didn't read enough. I could just write more after the ending.
