- LeafLettersRoyal Road★★★ 3.0The MC is a blank slate. Not bad in an action packed story bursting with detail, but I can only follow what's happening in this story from the context of other stories I've read that are similar. Nothing actually gets any explanation. Things just happen and the reader is along for the ride. Not horrible in small doses, but I find it preferable if stories offer world-building, explanations for the MCs decisions and descriptions of events and scenery that evoke strong emotions from the characters. You know, the things that catch your imagination.
I really don't know what the premise of the story is. The blurb doesn't really track with the content; though fair enough, the blurb's setting may as well have been another truck-kun isekai for how usefully generic it was. Still though, is it an isekai story? Did that mysterious Game induct the MC to the other side of the looking glass in an Urban fantasy where all the supernatural was real all along? Why is the MC going along with any of this? Curiosity, coersion or a lust for power?
The story reminds me of The Ultimate Evolution but stripped of all context. Admittedly, The Ultimate Evolution's premise didn't hold up to scutiny, but it was fun.
