Story: The author stated it is his/her first original manga. "Original"... So let's just be nice and ignore the huge flaws. In just the first volume, we have dramatic flashbacks, friendships falling apart, exaggerated paranoia and unexpected encounters with people from the past. There's no world building, or any kind of building. It really is about relationships between teenagers. They just so happens to be in a Minecraft game. It simply feels a bit excessive with all the drama. This manga was never about a game, it never even tried.
Overall. The author, unfortunately, is a huge Minecraft nerd. So the characters feel unrealistic. They never struggle to create items, all the knowledge is already there. How they act in a situation is so far from how it actually is for beginners. Not only that. They are BETA testers, and yet they use all these methods that would take a lot of time to learn. Since this author is a huge nerd, he knows a lot of things that makes it into the manga. So the characters, whilst being noobs, beginners, beta testers, are playing like goddamn veterans, all because the author himself has too much gaming skills and have forgetting how noobs actually play.
Show me a fresh noob in minecraft that will never die. Prove me wrong and I'll give this manga a perfect 10. Because these characters are noobs, and yet they play a survival game like pros.
