Fuck... This won't be seen.

Disclaimer: The numbers reflect not what I think you'll get out of the piece of media i'm reviewing, It all is just to pay lip service to how much I love this series and may even go down on subsequent reading, So I ask you base your understanding from one of intense bias, And tackle it based on if you think we'll have similar tastes as I explain why I love it so much.

Alright! I need to explain myself before I explain my score, so here we go.
I came into this looking for a generic Isekai to waste time away through indulgence and to hope for something that was competently made in some regards (Fuck you smartphone) and ended up with this, however, it didn't surprise me for long, as it honestly feels like this was made to reinforce all my beliefs, So why would that be you think? How could I be so self-conceited? Well it was, And it was also made for everyone else who doesn't think so, People who find this in search of self-indulgence and a reminder to something, To appreciate your extremely pointless life, Cause "What's the point of a game, If not to enjoy it?" and so I answer.

it's 10/10 cause it was another level of self-indulgence, It was actual verification of my existence. It was done that convincingly, Even though I acknowledge some changes in characters were a little drastic, Even though I acknowledge I only like it as much because it's all to my bias. After all, this feels like my life but emphasized, through the lens of a group of fictional characters, A.K.A a relatable story. And the first that has had such an intense effect so soon after finishing, I feel like I could end the review there and I'd be fine with it, to be honest, But I need to show this to my friends and brag I wrote something long so I won't be cutting it short, So alas, Why is this manga my now favorite manga of all time?

Art: It's fine, The subtle details in some parts meant to hold extra weight do what they need too and I never found it intruding on the story after the first few chapters(Which are the weakest part of the series). In the end, it mostly added to the story so I'll be harsh to counteract the disgusting amount of praise I will be giving this series.
7/10-I enjoyed it

Characters: To put it simply there was a part where I could define 3 characters as the embodiment of current humanity, the hope of humanity and the doubt of humanity, Where then you realize that similar situations happened all over the story, The author made characters that can facet into multiple on dimensional roles while still making it so that they hold individualism, And even if they don't fulfill one single ideal, That just means they had no set tracks as people, This ties into the story and its themes not as a theme in of itself but rather to serve the existing ones, That's the amount of depth I could gleam from one interaction. The relationships sometimes felt rushed or shoehorned in but I could care less.
10/10- Mastah piece.

Enjoyment: read the 1st part
10/10

Story: It never dwelled on one idea long, It wanted to introduce it, Then let it serves as something and disappear, And other than the 1st idea that was introduced the rest of it was stellar and extremely interesting to hear the inner-workings of every part they bothered to explain, I sometimes figured out the mysteries or answers and other times the pages figured it out first. However, I cant wholeheartedly recommend this if I don't mention that there's some stretch in logic in the individual segments and that the overall themes and story lead to something that can seem very dismissive of some beliefs that people may have, But if you think yourself to be virtuous I challenge you to read this and if you don't end up disagreeing with the "Answer" then I can completely respect you, Even if you don't fully agree with it either.
10/10-I feel like I'm underselling everything.

Overall: Fuck you
10/10
