it takes a little over 200 chapters for them to finally get together because the MC has his lack of emotions to break through, but it was so lackluster. 190ish chapters of MC trying to distance himself from ML, then all of a sudden in chapter like 205 he kisses ML. It was all such a let down. No MC working through his issues, no ML lovingly breaking down the barriers. Just ML being a stalker and MC going okay sure why not and they sleep together.

I really enjoyed the first part, with the first game of what's different, then the shark chessboard was interesting and I loved how he got rid of the illegitimate brother decisively. The makeup game was fun and I loved how they worked together. Then I noticed it started having vague propaganda undertones that made me uncomfortabl. The whole the government is restricting things for everyone's own good and you're bad if you use a VPN just felt ugh. I just ignored that part because I get different cultures but then the end when the absolutely disgusting ghost shouts the down with China pro America line just really felt icky and weirdly placed. Also I assume he completed the ghosts wish? Wasn't directly addressed, but he did bring down the mini games, but no one knows it was him? Think the author forgot

To begin with MC wants to act and immerse himself in the role, but slowly that isn't a focus such as in anthill and mini game.

There is the hub that is shown a lot in the begining, but is mostly just summed up after the first time.

The top 100 start coming after him, but they just stop and are taken care of very anticlimactically.

MLs business/idea seems like some grand scheme, but ends up being meh.

The ghost cards obtain from the instances are hardly ever seen/heard from again.

The MC's past gets sprinkled throughout, but not much about the big bad system, other than it's big.. And bad and well a system. Still not completely understanding the bracelet, is it his imagination or is it the sealed power of the system.
