Ressentiment review

This manga is one focused on the dark side of virtual reality. By that I don't mean the super dark military mind control type stuff, but rather the creepy side where people become addicted to it. From that point of view, it certainly was unique, as most mangas that are VR focused seem to stay away from that side of things as the focus. But at the same time, this results in the characters being unlikable and the plot being pretty pathetic. And unrelated to that, overall it just seemed pretty messy and directionless all around, where no characters exhibited any growth and no major points related to the subject matter were ever made. The humor was primarily centered at being at the MCs expense, which seemed more sad than funny to me as it went on. The ending also randomly raised the stakes to a ridiculous level and allowed the MC to screw himself over one last time to end on, which also felt sad. The MC is a pretty terrible person, so I suppose I can understand why he would deserve it, but at the same time, it was just felt pointless and unsatisfying. The art was rough and not that good. 

tl;dr: A manga that doesn't have anything beyond a pathetic character to whom bad things happen.
