Honestly, after chapters 400-500 -ish, I still can't understand what the goal of the "System" is, even though there are multiple interactions with the volleyball administrator. Do they want to swallow up the worlds to grow? Is there sentience? What's the point of the white bird and Han Yoohyun's corpse? These elements are mentioned, but there is no elaboration past the initial information drop. There are some really great characters (Yoon Yoon, Noah, Yoo Myeongwoo, the American lady who can see the past (?) /character's potiential), but they aren't fleshed out well, and feel like fanservice "cute" characters. Yoon Yoon in particular feels forgotten until their specific dungeon comes up, and Yoo Myeongwoo is a part of the System team during chapters 600-700? I don't understand the author's choices for these characters, and as a result, I feel less attached.
[collapse]I've seen comparisons to tr*sh of the Count's Family, and while I can see it, it doesn't have the same structured flow of events, where the growth of the enemies and protagonists make sense. The "villain"'s motives and methods are simply not clear, so the story feels drawn out. Almost as if the settings were too big for the story, and it's either rushing past pertinent information or collapsing onto itself?SpoilerI will say that the fandom works that experiment with the settings are quite interesting, and that the character cast keeps me reading. Trying to understand the plot frustrates me.
