The thrilling start into a great series that's still somehow written like a Wattpad story although it captures many people who love it (including me), like the writing is really bad, not good, I understand why many people stop after book one, it doesn't get much better I fear, but the story progresses, don't await some crazy plot, this is more about the characters and how they heal from their past trauma.
The characters are not without flaws, but they act to stereotypically at some points making it hard to see them as their own but rather as a not really there character.

The plot idea is great with Neil being on the run from his father, definitely curious on how it'll continue (as if I haven't already read this series, but it's great for new readers!), Kevin and the (Riko) Moriyama drama that Neils more included in than he wants to admit.

Exy as a sport sounds great, the game is described really well and it's easy to understand the sport (at least I caught on the first time I was reading it), the concept seems great.

All in all, after rereading the first book, it's a good start for this series but mainly the characters got extreme flaws not due to their characteristics, but based on mostly stereotypes I suppose, there's also an inconsistency after this book considering the characters and their development.

Definitely check the trigger warnings before you start reading tho!
