Tentatively 4 stars?The summary makes you feel like it's just the protagonist Minseo looping only, but nope, turns out that there are THREE different individualistic Leo SHARING their bodies with MC. Their thought processes affect the MC, who's not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed, and the game system giving bad end warning vibes (feels arbitrary from author) that come out of nowhere isn't helping either. This ends up with MC going crazy over the influence of Leos and stress from the system's countdown.MC gets killed? You have X/Y left.Didn't clear the game (Leo+Lena's endings not satisfied) ? You have X/Y left.MC perceives these remaining numbers as lives left. If MC gets killed, the synchronization with Leos slows down, and speeds up with them if he doesn't clear the game. If the number of X/Y is full, he think it's game over. I think the issue in this novel is Minseo is an ordinary guy and he's running like a headless chicken due to multiple hurdles in the scenarios he's in. You can't really blame him though, there's hardly any information given by the game system and clearing the game is unclear, even at chapter 91. The story and world building is interesting, but having the MC 'playing' the game poorly for so many chapters is boring, In Korean terms, it's like eating sweet potatoes, something stuck in your throat and making you feel annoyed. You don't really see the path for a game clear and MC + Leo + Lena will keep on getting bad ends until MC is sufficient enough with his skills and planning, but once that happens, it's quite likely that the story will get exciting. For now, wait for more chapters unless you want to see the initial buildup.
