Story: 4 A pretty by the books story about real people inside of a videogame, with the interesting twist that its actually just VR that takes place solely in the real world. However, there is so much exposition that its hard to really get invested, because instead of telling any kind of emotionally compelling story a solid 50% of the "story" is just an info dump about the world. This would work fine in a larger work where exposition was needed to establish what was to follow, but in a one-shot, its just needless information.
Art: 6Nothing exceptional, but the character designs are at least kind of interesting, if maybe a littler generically inspired by other battle shounen.
Character; 3 Nothing even remotely memorable about any of them. Villain is boring, heroes are boring, the people who inhabit the world are half as interesting as the world itself.
Enjoyment:4 Just really mediocre in general. This author has had a couple of series start and quickly end, and I think its indicative that he has some really interesting ideas for series, but he fails to entertainingly execute them. This is another example of a decently creative world, but just a really lacklustre story. If you did enjoy this, try Mx0, a much better work by the same author.
Overall: 4
