My first review here. I don't usually but seeing as this is a popular series I wanted to share my thoughts on it.
So yes, it is set in a virtual reality world which is really cool and I really enjoyed the premise. However, without giving spoilers I was surprised that the formula of the story was repeated about half-way through with another baddie.
The 2nd half seemed to be focussed on some weird incestual relationship more than clearing levels as the first half. I mean that was totally out of the blue. It didn't make any sense, there was no setup for it in the first
...
half of the season, and why not make the character a random friend of his, why does it have to be sister/cousin... no difference they are family nonetheless.
Then at the cusp of the season, there's some strange kinda fanservice where it would remind one of a hentai or rape fantasy although dulled down. I'm sure we have to hate the guy, but seriously we already did upto that point, none of that unnecessary weirdness.
I liked the premise of the story where it was like a character with skills playing a game in a virtual world with quests and interpersonal socialising between players. I just wish they didn't ruin the fluidity and theme of the show by putting random stuff in.
Still a good show to watch.
