Topic: Minecraft: The Crash
Catherine !ttGirlsPl2 started this discussion 7 years ago #82,183
I got this novel for Christmas since the idea of novels for Minecraft intrigues me. This is not a how-to guide or a tutorial book. This is a full-fledged novel. I also own Minecraft: The Island which was the first novel published for Minecraft, however, while it wasn't a how-to or tutorial book. It still technically was since the main character was basically learning the ins and outs of the world, much in the same way, a first timer playing the game would. Only the main protagonist was playing the game at retard's pace. This led me to get very bored around Chapter 4 or 5.However, this book, after I just got finished reading Chapter 1 already has my attention since it's about a couple of Minecraft players who get into a car accident which was really the fault of the girl, leading protagonist I assume, since she waved the mobile game in her friend's face while he was driving. They all passed out at the end of the chapter.

I'm glad to hear that someone is writing cautionary tales about the dangers of playing Minecraft while driving.

I haven't read the novel but here's my guess: after passing out in the car in the real not-minecraft world, they somehow wake up in the world of Minecraft.

Chapter 1 was set in the real world. The main characters argued about the game because the girl didn't set up traps. It was a test world they set up so they could transfer their base to an "official" world.

I just read the second chapter and I almost forgot that this was a Minecraft novel. It's mostly about the woman, who is the main protagonist by the way, in the hospital in Hellish pain slipping in and out of a coma. It wasn't until she said that her vocabulary was reduced to that of a Minecraft villager that it made me realize that I was reading a Minecraft story. That is until the very end when she meets an eleven-year-old lad named A.J. who shares with her his virtual reality goggles and introduces her to his Minecraft world from a different perspective.

Yeah, the whole chapter was pretty bad. It makes me hope I never get put into a coma. Immediately when she put the goggles on she felt nauseous and sick, though, she didn't want to make the kid feel bad when he thought he was helping. The kid eventually caught on and removed the goggles when he thought she was going to throw up, but it didn't really help either since going back to reality still caused her to feel even sicker and threw up on the side of the bed (out of his sight). It was the bright colors of Minecraft that mostly contributed to her feeling ill after she was housed in a dark room and her sight was only slowly returning. Going from those bright colors back to the dim and dark surroundings in reality also made her feel ill. The chapter ended with the kid promising to show her another way into the game but said it was mostly for noobs. This offended her because she wanted to show that she could do it and that she wasn't a noob since she considers herself a gamer.

I hope your 8-year-old isn't scared since this book goes very into detail regarding the car crash and hospital stay.

She was slipping in and out of a coma throughout the chapter, but it seems like she came out of it for good.
I haven't read chapter three yet.
This novel does feel more compelling than "The Island."

You only read one chapter at a time? I read until I'm done reading, usually 2hrs+ later. I assumed everyone did. Why do you only read one chapter at a time?

It depends really. Sometimes I read one chapter at a time. Sometimes I read more. Depends on if I want to continue reading since I have to read out loud in order retain what I read and my throat gets swore.

I finished Chapter 3. Bianca, the main protagonist, is back inside of virtual reality with a brand new untouched world. The kid also provided some mods for her and a way out of the game without having to yank the goggles off in order to avoid her throwing up.

What if they were actually in the Minecraft world the whole time, and when they passed out, they came to our world, and them passing out in our world is actually them waking up in the real (Minecraft) world

I'll share with you the ending of Chapter 1.
"Once the car was close enough and blocked out the sun, I could see the other driver's face, though not clearly. He had dark eyes and straight hair that spiked in every direction. His head lurched back as his green car collided with our blue one. I remembered how the metal crunched as we crashed into each other, folding blue on green on blue on green, how pieces of things began to fly around. Glass, metal. At one point, even the light seemed to fracture and splinter off, bursting into fractals of beams, searing my eyes and my skin. And then there was the smell of smoke. And the taste of blood. And the scrape of something against my body that felt like it had gutted me open somewhere in the middle. I wondered if I'd been halved. I turned, trying to see if I could figure out what was happening, if I could see Lonnie's [her friend] face to know from his eyes just how bad it all was. But I couldn't see him. It was like he'd disappeared and all that was left was me, and the blue car and the green car that now looked like one wrapped-up thing with glass tinkling as it fell like rain all around me, and the shocking realization that the man from the other car was right up on me, like we had been riding together. He was right there. I could reach out and touch him. And I tried. Only my hands didn't move. Nothing moved but the cars still rippling toward and away from each other. So, I tried to scream for Lonnie, but nothing came out of my mouth. And then everything went black."
Moral: Don't distract the driver with the shit you build on Minecraft.
