in Arc 1 where the identity of the doll is literally out in the open, but not any character is questioning it till the utilize card shows up. In Arc 2 where the chronological order of mu*der n escape is blatantly obvious, but someone still manage to get it wrong, I had to skip his dialogue entirely because it makes no sense.

- MC/ML/ stream
Let me first summarize the background since the novel description is simply wrong. MC never played as a corpse, and neither did he die. So... basically humanity is captured in a game. They do not know why, how or even when. The game hub is a rather rundown tower encased in a perpetual fog they cannot enter. The gameplay of the players is to enter the nightmares of the indogen tower residents and finish it. By archiving a true end, they can level up to a higher towerlevel. What the players/mission takers not know is that the tower residents are also human player but they have to act out the given script under surveillance of the towers AI. MC is one of those residents and regularly drawn into others nightmares as a "NPC". He is basically always a bookstore owner or manager, not leaving his station and giving out clues. Then he finds a streaming access and uses it. From then on he can switch the camera to the other locations and also see the nightmares, giving more clues and somewhat communicate with the outside world.... And here starts my rant... as soon as the first 2 nightmares you will most likely getting annoyed by the ever repeating "reasoning". There is a clue and the mission takers have to rehash it lengthly, then the stream will do it again, then a special steam guy again and then MC again.... every f*cking clue. It will shortly get better in nightmare 3 but then it starts with every single player. At times I wondered if MC and ML were even needed in this novel... well basically only at the end. If you would cut out the f*cking repeats and how every single player got enlightened by the same thing, this novel could be cut at least in half. And this kind of writing style everyone has to insert their own brain farts is unreliable annoying to me. If you are good with this, you might like the novel. Then there are the faulty background behavior and logic holes. The writer set rules and then bent, broke, rewrote or forget them as they seemed fit for their often forced explanations. The inherent story of the nightmares sometimes feels so forced to me that it is impossible to explain it "logically" and the ways they solve them is just... well nothing that would ever make sense. If starts with nightmare one, according to the rules a nightmares is logically solvable with a true end.... but they could not have solved it if not one of them had earlier before entering that nightmare found a card. That card was basically the true end. So everyone else could not have solved this nightmare.... and this is only the starter. Sometimes the writer is really reaching faaaaaar with their "logical explanations ". Also the whole tower itself.... riddled with logic holes. If humanity entered a game, you would bet they will build guilds and organizations in a blink but no.. the writer did ignore all normal human behavior to try and depict a more dark and somber atmosphere.... and at a later point seem to realize it does not work and somewhat awkwardly inserted some "kind of" organizations... To be honest, that whole background felt "wrong" to me and never gave me the chance to immerse myself into this novel. I still fought until the end but it wasn't worth it. MC/ML and the stream.... well I feel like they were the real side characters and only needed for some special moments. In an exaggerated speach, MC was a depressive little twit which mutely watched others fail while nonstop droning on in his head. ML is just a board on the wall which you take down to club someone if needed. The stream is only there to rehash the 1000st time, make it feel like MC is super intelligent and for that one moment in the end. To be honest, the most likable was ML. Oh and do not read this for "romance" sake... there is really... well not none but close to none. So... would I recommend this novel? No, not really but it might hit the spot for other people. At least the translation was good. If you think you can live with everything I complained about, then you please go. The story itself is rather ok... gets really nuts sometimes. And here the promised spoiler. Please be aware to not read this if you want read the novel. I insert this spoiler because I f*cking whished there was one, so that I would not have to read the whole book. So this spoilers the whole story, be aware.What happened to humanity?
An apocalypse in 3 steps.
One year before the big endings, people started to go crazy. Some badsh*t crazy, some in really strange ways like totally addicted to their job and in some places even electronics became sentient. Death was everywhere and became the new normal. The craziness spread. One year later when humanity still was somewhat working, some hobby astronomers found something "fast" running to earth and the second step approached,
raining hellfire feel from the sky and let the world burn. Still, people further away from the impact were surviving, when step 3 came to land on the planet. A superior alien race. That race"discovered" earth and claimed humanity as their s*aves. That race is in an ongoing war and usually sent their subordinate races into a gauntlet to filter out people for their war. Since human bodies are too weak for a physical gauntlet, they have to go through a intellectual one... the tower.
Important point, all the steps are thanks to those aliens. They used their "crazy gun" on their foes but when they realized nothing happened, they found out that the shot went awry and hit earth. Then they planned to just destroy those human ants but other races then also realized there was a new species and so they couldn't just kill of the whole planet but it is OK with interstellar code that they own earth and its people... So humanity became s*aves.
The alien race is an AI race which is in war with another AI race.
The bad ones feel superior in their cars form without a body, their antagonists persist on having a (cyborg/bio engineered) body.
The tower.
The construct of the tower was based on a game that a human game company was designing. Although s*aves, they were rasked to work together wigs a game server AI to construct the tower game. They inserted minimal "possibilities " that shouldn't alert the aliens but might give humans a fighting chance.
The tower games story is, that humans built a tower with an AI manager to keep them safe after a global apocalypse. The nightmares were hints for them on how the apocalypse came to be. They later realized that the tower AI was not protecting all humans but those it deemed crazy were thrown out. Since the AI had to listen to humanity as a whole, they took over the management and left... with some in-between.
The AI had a human brain mixed in, that was the brother of the inventor.
Basically that AI was made of 2 things and the brain part is the part which took over for humanity later.
So.... when the aliens than threw in humanity and deleted their knowledge starting from the first step of apocalypse on, every human "tower resident " got a role to play.
Our MC got the role of... the brain, so to say... here the writer went reeealy imaginative. So MC was the human actor of the human part of the ai and the server was some of the AI. The server won the struggle over the tower and threw MC down on the first level.
Since he can not kill MC because of his human part, there are other ways. MCs dream.... you could say if he ever sleeps he will succumb in his own dream. His nightmare is made up of the fog in which every crazy player is. I don't think I have the energy to detail here about the dream of the way because.... nuts and writer has obviously no idea how data and processing works.
Well it ends with MC getting part of the tower rights, people enter the ultimate nightmare where they live through the apocalypse again while MC opens the backdoor for AI race 2 to enter the cloud of the bad AI race and win the war.... in moments.
Then humanity wakes up in the game pods where they lived for 200 years, finding out they are on earth. There is still a small and hard regulated community of humans but when the war was won, all the AIs disappeared and fed them. (Still not knowing how their bodies lived 200 years in a game pod but normal humans still have normal life expectations)
MC has no living body because when he was flashed with all the AIs knowledge good brain burned out.
But thanks to alien race 2 he got a cyborg body. Same for ML, he had no body too. ML was an overachiever who actually was so good in the game that he "won" and left the tower.
He was sent to war but his body didn't make it. Alien race 1 still had his mind map, cleared all memories, gave him some special traits and threw him into the tower again as an experiment... locked on level one.
MLs memories are still in the data hub but he decides not to get them and instead make new ones.
So that's it.
