It was aight.

Like most people, I was drawn in by the ecchi. I stayed for the unsurprisingly good mystery which turned into a cluster fuck. Slowly it became a read which I didnt want a faster release but a read that when it came.... it came I guess.

Anyway I have nothing profound to say about this which is in itself profound as this is a mediocre review for a mediocre series.

6/10. I would only reccomend this to extremely bored individuals who have exhausted good mystery manga and want more.

The fan service in the begining was godlike. Yukiko made it worth to read this, then the místery gets u till everything went down with the original mc stuff.

this is actually pretty good imo.the first time i read it,i don't understand a thing.but after 4-6 times for reading it from start to finish,it's pretty damn good. rating,7.5/10.could've ended better,and the plot twist could've had a better build up.

Welp had a great premise at the start but the second half just got dumb. Oh well.

Yukiko's such a nice denim posterior though.

Definitely wasn't perfect but will miss releases for this.

The reveal for the mystery was unsatisfying.

And cant say the conclusion for this is a happy one they live in a simulated world and the control center seems to be destroyed so not sure if they can get back to the real world.

Like the authors art he should try a straight forward romance next time.

So he has "admin" powers now, in a copy fake world and now he wants to "lend a ear" to people(?!) who lost hope. The End.
Is that some kind of joke?

Aah...what a trainwreck.

Good premise, the writer gave some very interesting and unique ideas throughout the story, but it was utterly destroyed by the writing style.

Like the second half does have some very nice ideas, ex. Living as copies, etc. but the writer fails to understand one thing. Too much bullshit at one time is never good, as too much plot twist without proper explanation would just make the story look stupid. Not to mention the humongous amount of logic conflict within the A and B world, and plot holes.

Ending was far from the best (duh plotholes everywhere) but at least it ended steadily.

A 6/10 is probably the best score I can give. Worth a read if you want to try guessing what comes next but otherwise you'd be better spending your time elsewhere.

Crappy story, will miss Yukiko though, would not mind a spin off focusing on her.

Started off interesting, but the author couldn't keep it in their pants. So many WOAHHHH WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT story beats to try and keep the reader interested, but the result is a contrived plot that can go literally anywhere and ceases to have any weight. So stupid. The character writing ended up being crap too.

This was the perfect mediocre ending for this below-average manga. He's literally a god, but chooses to live a normal life? And why is Yukiko still alive?

This manga went from 8/10 to 4/10 really fast.
Wait, he didn't even bang Yukiko who had her memories from all the days of their adventures? 3/10

It was a good series. It really feels like the ending was rushed, though.

Thanks for translating! :)

Yeah the titties got me and then it turned into this mess. He needs to use his art for something more worthwhile. Porn or collab with an actual writer.
