It feels a shame to give up so close to the end, but I can't stand the illogic. The main characters in this short story are a bit pretentious, selfish, and condescending. Everything they say is right, anyone who slightly wrongs them are evil villains that need heavy retribution. But if you look at what the other person did (other than the brother I guess), no one really did anything worthy of life-ruining revenge. The people in this story are clearly and unrealistically divided into good and bad people.I enjoyed the other returned transmigrated characters, though they added to the illogic and ridiculousness of the whole story. How are there so many wealthy powerful people's children that go brain dead? Maybe there's some interesting conspiracy that explains this at the end, but with the current level of story telling sophistication, I doubt it. If you can turn off your brain and buy into the protagonists' self centered logic, this story is fine. Also, maybe I'm a prude, but I found the name calling and slurs in this story very distasteful. Reflecting the worst of society's worst possible responses. Who in the world goes on line and just randomly starts cursing at people they don't know? Mostly bots as far as I'm concerned. And this is where the twisted logic of the book comes in - it's retribution time when netzines do it to the protagonist but when they start cursing the slew of villains, it's justice. I'm so tired and disgusted.
