This novel feels like a checklist of Japanese light novel clichés. Every overused trope you can think of is here. The issue isn’t the clichés themselves, but the uninspired way they’re executed. The plot feels mechanical and unoriginal, as though the author is just going through the motions without injecting any creativity or depth.
The characters’ lack of intelligence is especially frustrating. It's as if logic is the protagonist's weakness.
Yet he isn´t alone. Kings and politicians know how society works, and people living for years on a game of world rules should have some basic understanding of how to detect anomalies and how things actually work. How low is everyone's IQ in this world?
At first, the story had potential—it sounded interesting and even managed to hook me. Unfortunately, as the narrative progresses, it becomes increasingly disappointing.
Maybe I’m being too harsh, but it’s hard to empathize with a protagonist who doesn’t understand how game systems work or who willingly gives away his freedom to shady people known for dealing in slavery (and wearing ominous black outfits, no less).
And if the author insists on using blue text boxes as a narrative device, they should at least utilize them effectively. They often feel more like an afterthought than a meaningful addition to the story.
