I'm only on c3, but to be honest the beginning is so difficult to keep up with that I was very tempted to drop and am only reading now because the summary was interesting. I'm not sure if it's just because the TLer is just a step above MTL so the quality of the writing js headache inducing.I couldn't really follow the game, but I really liked how the OFL was a genuinely likable girl who ends up being more like a 2nd FL for the MC. Unlike other transmigration stories, here the "antagonist" is another side FL and I'm actually interested in reading the original story with the OFL.I also really like the ML. He's still the usual stoic ML, but he's also a drama lover daredevil who may be suffering from depression, so I can really relate with him. Also, his development isn't just tied to the MC, but he actually gets close to the friend group and his psychological changes seem to be influenced by them too. It's also fun to see him act like a lunatic or as an oblivious love brain.The side characters are really well written, but even the villain-y ones don't feel as cartoony as some other wn. Even with the green tea bit*h ZFF I can see where she's coming from. The ML's family are the only real annoying characters, but their existence spices up the story.The writing is also really good. I can't follow a lot of the puzzles but in a way that I feel like I'm just too s*upid rather than the puzzle is too convoluted. Also, the author is good at writing moments that make me really ship the main CP without feeling forced.There's unfortunately the unrealistic OP hacker trope used for the MC, and there is also the usual lowkey racism, but I'm willing to excuse it since the rest of the story is fun to read. (There's an ironic moment in a later chapter where a character says "Chinese netizens don't even know domestic history, they definitely don't know anything about foreigners".)
