Ready Player One was basically a memeparty. It was stupid, it was ridiculous, and no one in their sane mind would call it a good story with good writing.

But it was fun, full of fun references, so while it wasn't the most epic story ever told, it was enjoyable. I agree with most of this, except for the writing being bad. If I enjoy reading something and I can follow the general narrative - regardless of what nitpicks others might pick out - then I consider it "a good story with good writing". Have I read better? Yes, I have, but I have also read far worse.
