It revolves around riddles. But we, as the viewers, never have any chance to participate in the riddles or solve them ourselves. There aren't any cues visible to the audience and we don't know enough about the world. We're completely left out.
So we're watching allegedly smart main characters solve riddles with information we don't have. The solutions are far-fetched and we keep hearing how smart the main characters are. But since we can't participate, we have no way of verifying ourselves that the main characters are smart. And we ultimately don't care about the riddle's solutions or the main characters' progress because the show builds zero viewer involvement.
It's like a show that was made to self-indulge in its premises (mainly "smart characters"), fanservice and colorful artwork. The artstyle is unique, but this cannot compensate for the fact that it wasn't written for the viewers.
At the end, the viewers are presented with an upskirt of a little girl who isn't even in her teenage years. Anyone who still hasn't comprehended that the show is trash should at least draw the line at that point.
I cannot recommend this show at all. Thanks for reading.
