It is a mildly interesting book, but the biggest flaw is its main character's likability. I mean,I hate this guy. The way he acts does not make you think that he is an adult in reality. He acts like a 12 year old 1940's gumshoe. It's hard to feel sympathy for him being trapped in a cyber-noir VR game. Honestly, his personality gets worse in the next book. I'm two books into the series and I do not think that I can do a third with the MCs lack of development.
