Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was a beautifully crafted graphic novel that talks about video games, women in video games, how important a job can be and the livelihood of people, how you don't always know peoples stories or backgrounds, and about injustice.
It covers a lot of important things and it does it really well!
One thing I really enjoyed about this was the transition from real life into the video game. How realistic and fun the game seemed and how easy it was to learn and make friends (and it not be creepy men online!).
I liked the lack of knowledge in our main character at the beginning when it came to gold mining and how, while it can ruin the game for some, it is the livelihood of others; something they depend on to get by. I liked how she changed the stigma and gathered her fellow women and gamers to help spread the word about the mistreatment of those working at that company.
The part of the story about parents not understanding how fun, useful, and important gaming is, was especially accurate in my opinion. And I'm glad that in the end, the author chose to make the parents understand that what their daughter was doing was important and taught her valuable skills.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a fun graphic novel!
