I have not because I have read a sample and it appears to ramble a bit. Both books are on my reading list though.

cause i remember in the movie there were some cringe things that could only be made if the author wasn't an actual gamer

I think it depends on why you want Ready Player 2 or what you expect of it
I did and I actually enjoyed it. It's not the next Lord of the Rings, not even close, but it was a decently fun and quick read with enough of a plot justification for the pop culture references that it didn't break my suspension of disbelief. from what I know of the movie, it's significantly worse in basically every way.
yeah, the references in Ready Player 1 the book were fine.
is there really a Ready Player 2? I thought his other book was Andromeda or something
if i remember correctly the books jargon was better than the movies
he has 3

Also, I cannot sing the praises for Project Hail Mary enough. Best hard science fiction novel I have ever read hands down. Better than Enders Game.
Night folks, your fault I want to read my book now.

I almost started reading the light novels until I found out that he's basically just wrapping up the story to be done with it and have announced what the last volume will be and I just can't believe it's enough time for there to be a satisfying wrap up to everything that's happened so far. The anime's not even all that far behind.
The anime is so fucking good but on a recent rewatch I feel like there's maybe some weird sticking points that might keep people from really getting into it. It's hard for me to tell though because I recognize that the show scratches an itch for me that means I can't be objective about it.
Night bro, im getting close to sleep too

The anime cuts out like 50% of the novel contents, even more than that with the movie, so there's a lot of info that is missed. The author claims he's finishing "Overlord" in 2 more volumes, but he's been known to write a ton of side stories within its world so who knows if it's truly ending. For example he wrote an entire book dedicated to an alternate timeline with Evileye as one of the main protagonists.

Yeah, I know there's a lot more content in the light novels but from what I've heard it's not stuff that's advancing the plot or getting things tied up and closer to a resolution so it's still the same issue of not enough space in the few volumes left to get all that done in a way that I would personally find satisfying. I could be wrong about that and maybe they've got a killer fuckin' idea that's gonna blow my tits off but I'm just not willing to invest in that possibility before the last volume is out. It's a lot easier for me to deal with whatever kind of ending a thing has if I don't have to sit around and wait for it without even knowing how long it'll be.

Funnily enough, this book was actually one of the best ones he's written.
