Add a CommentAnda makes a friend on her favorite massively multiplayer online role-playing game, and is confronted with a real world look at her clash of cultures between her poor, gold-farming friend and the affluent players.
Not sure what the plot message is but i guess i was reading instead of staring at a screen.
A fairly unrealistic look at MMORPG's but it's an interesting framing device that is simple enough for a children's graphic novel.
It was an alright graphic novel, the story was a little quick and the art was pretty good.
Amazing book that i recommend to anyone who is a fan of comics and video game related things! I love the art style and characters!
Absolutely brilliant. I love the message and the story. Wonderful read.
Decent.
It was "Meh" But still fun to read.
This is definitely a book that’s Trying To Tell You Something! But the central character, teenage girl Anda, has a fully developed personality, and the plot has some surprises, so I can forgive it the heavy-handed message. Anda’s experience with the online multiplayer game “Coarsegold Online” shows the power of video games and online spaces to connect people who might not otherwise see each other. The book is about making mistakes, and being forgiven, which is something we can all benefit from reflecting on. Wang’s art here made me want to track down more of her work!
This graphic novel is a great booster of feminism and female gamers. While I personally am not a "true" gamer, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It teaches girls to be proud of who they are and take pride in their achievements, as well as internet awareness and your online footprint. Overall, great read! :)
me and my friend loves this book
