This one definitely fits into the mixed feelings category for me. This anime is about a gamer that plays buggy, unpopular games and exploits bugs and mechanics to the max, becoming a sort of a pro gamer in those categories, sorta inspired by "let me solo her". This takes place in an age where VR games are the norm and provide an experience similar to real life. One day he decides to pick up a triple-A MMO game and he applies his 'pro gamer' skills to that game. The fights, animation, the story - are not bad at all. But I am also not a fan of this basic premise at all, it ends up feeling like just another Shounen-Isekai in a costume with zero stakes on the line, I mean... okay, MC dies to a boss - boo hoo, it's just a video game. The fact that there's also a real life behind the game is not leveraged much, not much of interest happens outside the game. In the game, the plot is not bad, if it were a game I would find it interesting, the hidden quests and evolutions the MC goes through do have some appeal to them. But since we are focused on our 'God Gamer' MC play perspective... it ends up being a bit linear, he gets stronger. Don't get me wrong though it isn't a total blunder- Overall this is solid in doing what it does... but I don't feel like it makes enough use of the things that are unique about it or brings enough new things to the table to keep me interested. I might just be over Isekai'ed.
