i rly enjoyed the plot of the book, and there was a lot of action that kept me reading.

however, the writing was pretty weird (i think bc it’s a translation) and i didn’t rly care about the romance in the book. especially since most of the ppl that had a crush on someone had barely even interacted with them before the game started, and then all of a sudden they’re confessing their love or smth lmao. and it happened more than once so i just ended up skim reading those parts, but apart from that i enjoyed it a lot

This book is action-packed, violent, thrilling fun that I didn't want to put down. The dozens of Japanese names were daunting at first, and there was a bit too much gore for me at times, but I had so much fun reading this book.
