Witty and fun book about life in a simulation. It's a cute concept and as a software engineer, i quite enjoyed it. The humor was spot on and the character development and interactions were great. Looking forward to the next book.

Such a fun read (audible listen). This was one of my run listens and I loved it. This boy discovers that the world is a simulation, and he is able to hack himself to become a wizard in medieval times. I think it was just a little more fun understanding a bit about coding. The world was so creative and I enjoyed the casual prose for listening along.

What a fun whimsical novel

This was the funniest read that I've had in a while. I can only say that I intend to continue with this series for more fun and adventure.

Thank you Draftsman for this recommendation. This book turned out to be a hoot! It made me laugh. I look forward to more in this series.

I learned that one needs to plan their escape plans a little bit better.
