A very interesting concept that I really wanted to like, but in the end it just wasn’t for me. I really liked the idea of a gacha like system combined with a conman trying to bluff his way out and avoid death but the problem is that while the concept is interesting, the actual execution is a different story. Constantly every problem is solved by pulling a new character out of the pool with OP powers that work just for what MC needed, which makes sense because gacha games both have a meta and tons of characters; but playing a gacha game vs reading about a gacha game are two different things. Simply put, it feels like the MC has huge amounts of plot armor and simply cannot lose because he’ll just pull a new card and the perfect solution will appear out of nowhere with little to no foreshadowing or explanation and kill any tension that could possibly arise.It’s not as if the story is bad and the gacha concept is interesting, but for me I just simply can’t get into the story and feel bored every time I try to read it. Thus, I must stop here.
