The author is a video game and 80s film sperglord who thinks reciting lines from Monty Python's Holy Grail is the epitome of hilarity.

to be fair, it is the epitome of hilarity--the first time you see it. it is unironically one of the funniest movies ever made. it's just been overexposed because it was so good that now nobody can ever find it funny again and any grown rear end group of men who quote it deserve to be punched in the face

the climax of the book involves the main character having to recite every line from The Holy Grail, while the evil villain must do the same. The first person to succeed, wins the company.

This is literally the climax of the book.

The author seems to forget that the main character gets there first, so has a head start, and therefore the climax has no way of going bad for the protagonist because they both have to recite the movie linearly, while having access to the internet. Also the climax is "broadcast live" so one person can just watch the other person do the same thing then repeat it

the writing is terrible

that's a pretty dumb challenge probably anyone on the internet could do that. he should've picked something harder

like reciting all of baron von munchhausen
