Trying to counteract the usual NovelUpdates unreasonably harsh reviews.First off, the title makes the story sound extremely edgy but it isn't at all. It's grounded but not a full on edgelord story.This is an extremely creative webnovel. The fact that it's an isekai actually matters, like a lot, and I can't think of a single thing that's cookiecutter about it.Characters are great, the MC is fighting some real personal struggles, the reasons everyone does everything makes sense (except God but it is what it is) and it's compelling all the way through. The payoffs you're waiting for fully deliver too.I have never read any other story that gets internet comments so accurately, the livestream comments were both hilarious and also captured the vibe of an internet community speculating and coming to the entirely wrong conclusion perfectly.My only complaint is that the viewership numbers make no sense. No way six billion people are watching the same stream lol. The author clearly got feedback on that and scaled it back in later chapters even when things are higher stakes. Which leads to a funny situation where he fights some wolves at the beginning and he has several billion watchers but the big high stakes fight at the end only has one character comment about how she has several million, and the author does not even try to scale it cause he f*cked it up out of the gate.
