A story similar to Ready Player One

Really, as close to that theme as possible would be great, thanks.

so your options are Free Guy, Pixels or Spy Kids 3, take your pick
or what, did you mean a novel?

Depend what you mean by similar to Ready Player One. the state of the planet? The VR thing which are an augmented reality device and not a full dive type one? Or the part where the player can obtain the industry who create the game?

Isn’t this just all LitRPG?

Do you mean a treasure hunt?
An obscene amount of 80 references?
Languishing in old media?

Need more info

...if you literally just want as close as possible, I'd probably try out Ready Player One fanfics?

No game no life maybe?

There are not a whole lot of fictions with the aggressive 80s references though.

Though the easy one would be Armada by Ernest Cline. It is like a cross between the last star fighter and space invaders.
