I enjoyed the world building of Ready Player One but I wish they did more with it. I was more fascinated by the sociology of the real world than the adventure in the virtual world, but the focus was definitely more of the latter.
I think I can recall feeling similar. I remember wanting them to pop out of the VR world to solve the mysteries of it for me. I also think that's part of what's so intriguing about VR fiction - the real world exists in a kind of quantum state being both relevant and irrelevant. The A plot is critically dependent on a simultaneous B plot.
