I was starting to to forget that these light novel fantasies can actually be good. Neither Isekai nor LitRPG, somewhat dark and twisted, this series really stands out in the crowd of modern translated light novels.

The premise for this novel really amused me, even if it's a little on the nose. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy actually reading it, and did not enjoy the style of chaotically inserting inner monologue every other sentence. But what really tipped it into 1 star for me was the halfway point when the author switches from 3rd to 2nd person. To be clear, the POV is unambigously a character in the story and not trying to be any kind of reader insert, but the narrative is now entirely 2nd person present tense.
