I'm going to have to disagree to an extent here. It's actually good to have aesthetic and moral principles by which you assess the value of art, and it's also good to argue for them with others. Art is subjective, yes, but that doesn't mean that every thing is equal to everything else and that everything is in the eye of the beholder.

My disagreement is that Ready Player One is a giant steaming pile of shit that cashed in on credulous aging Xers by pandering to their nostalgia and their gross reactionary politics by providing an extraordinarily empty ego-insert power fantasy based entirely on a narrow less-than-a-decade-wide window of generational childhood experiences that had to be viewed without any literary analysis or political awareness, just REMEMBER THING? THEN YOU WIN THE PRIZE!
