Interesting ideas but doesn’t really say anything. Protagonist is definitely a teen boy from the early 2000s… who has never had a single meaningful female friendship in his life. That said, I did enjoy the quest/adventure… as long as I don’t think too hard about anything and breeze past some (all) of Wade’s problematic views. I am choosing to believe that Wade was written this way as satire/commentary on the classic incel nerd stereotype (even though I know he wasn’t)
