This is a fairly fun story as long as you squint and try not to think through the logic of the setting too hard, but the longer I sit with it the less impressed I am. The game mechanics and descriptions of the world just don't make sense as an actual game, but the plot doesn't make sense of it isn't, so...

The hero is super mad about his first, best character being semi-intentional collateral damage in a big fight, then goes on to get nearly everyone (npc and player alike) who allies with him killed in pursuit of his vengeance. It actually left a pretty bad taste in my mouth
