Review: A take on "trapped in a game" that's better than most. - I've been reading this manga for a while via fansubs. I've been eagerly awaiting the official English translation so I could give the publisher my money. That's how much I love it. Doing the "trapped in a video game" thing but with an anti-hero is a nice twist. I think the writing does a convincing job of balancing gruffness and kindness in the hero as well as the innocence vs treachery of the rest of the world. You need to get these balances right to make a story like this work. I've read other stories in this genre where I find myself thinking, "I know what's supposed to be happening here but I just don't buy it." This story nails it, though, in my opinion. I think maybe the story rushes to drop the hero into the game, such that we risk forgetting a] it's not his world and b] he believes it to be a game. If you do forget that, the hero can seem unreasonably cruel. But if you keep it in mind, his acts of kindness seem all that much more remarkable. Have you ever felt real sympathy for an NPC in a video game? Would you ever put your own real physical well being on the line for a pretend character? Keeping that in mind is important for this story and I worry that the very brief opening to this book might cause some readers to forget. That's my only criticism so far. There is so much mediocre and bad manga in this world. The stuff that's good needs to be praised. This is good.
Review: Great Read - I watched the first season of the anime before I even knew it was book. But its amazing. Definitely more detail but I can see the anime in my head as I’m reading it. I highly recommend it I just recently bought the second book and I will be getting the other 20 books!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Happy
*by R***N on August 22, 2019*

I started with the anime first and eagerly waited every week for a new episode to air on crunchyroll. But my brother bought the manga and showed me his copies. And I love both the manga and anime. But it tells the same story in a different way and while the anime is great, the manga is the uncenered/unfiltered version so you get the full rundown on every page. I recamend this to everyone looking to get it.
