I’m reading as this is translated, so my review is going to be less informed than the complete ones.I’ve got high hopes for this novel! Our MC Zhou Zhou does teeter on that precipice of ‘naive’ and ‘idiot’ but as a basic AI made for a dating sim in the very distant past who accidentally became self aware, I’m willing to give him the space to grow, as he really wasn’t supposed to get this far in the first place. It’s been fun watching him learn and experience how people react to things, how he himself reacts to things, and how he SHOULD react to things.Watching people fall in love with him is understandable and funny, because he was literally designed to be lovable and affectionate.The lower stakes setting really helps keep the lighter and more comedic tone of the series, and for once the canonical world settings so far make me happy when his kindness has an impact on the instances he visits.The ML so far is pretty funny in his paranoia and arrogance. He’s not possessive but also doesn’t seem to understand that the MC doesn’t know who he is.The series also satisfies my love of angst, as our very cheery and simple minded MC has to deal with the reality that he’s not the same as normal people, and that he can’t even tell anyone. I’m looking forward to how it develops.So far the instances aren’t anything special, but the difficulty seems reasonable.
