It is stated at one point by some CIA guy that North Korea was able to avoid the zombie outbreak by systematically removing the teeth of all of its residence in less than 24 hours. The reasoning being that if nobody had teeth then the virus couldn’t spread because nobody could bite anyone. He states that it was “the greatest feat of social engineering ever achieved”. Like I get this is a fictitious plot but they can’t even avoid making up the most utterly deranged bullshit lmao.
I tried to read this book but couldn't make it more than two pages in because it read like it was written by an illiterate teenager. Legitimately don't understand how people can read it and treat it like something elevated above Spongebob fanfiction.
the writer later made literal Minecraft fan fiction
Because making consumer stuff for geeks and nerds is its own type of endless cashcow grift

Reading through that book was like gazing on to hell and that the main characters did not use the insane power of the Oasis to absolutely burn the system and state to the ground is beyond me. Did like the vending machine dispensing guns though, that felt very on brand for a crumbling almost mad max hinted at America

Yeah I was done by the time it had the cliche boy gets the girl ending and also "don't worry reader this girl is 'traditionally' attractive and just has a widdle birthmark". I miss psychedelic sci fi so much...

This to a T, it's also the culmination of western nostalgia drip feeding into the general populace like this modern generations version of fucking Soma
That bit definitely made clear that the entire story was the author's own wish fulfillment fantasy
