Basically a 'love at first sight' by the heroine. Yes, she was saved by the MC, but seeing the world they are in, being saved and saving others would happen at some point or another. She doesn't seem to fall for the MC for any particular reason beyond 'he doesnt look at me with greedy eyes'. It seems very weak.

That includes the willingness she has shown to basically throw her life away for him. Even tho she does have her own goals.

If they gave the romantic subplot more time it would create some breathing room for it to feel more natural. It is attempted, by them teaming up and the MC learning from her. But by then she already has fallen head over heels for him. A case of rushing to the conclusion that the writer really wanted to write.

I didn't like how every battle ended the same way with it either having Hikaru one tap or ab*se barrier crystals

I personally believe we could have expanded so much more on the MC, his family, the FMC (light) /her family, the other FMC (anti-spirit) as well as, the spirit churches. I do not know why the novel ended so prematurely when there was so much potential for more, especially with the introduction of the MCs childhood friend and her OP “pet” FINALLY meeting him... possible that the author had axed this because of time restraints or lack of sales or even health issues. I do find this a shame as if the story had gone on, it would have been a 4-5 star novel, but at the very least this rushed ending wasn’t too bad.

we're shown her training, point selection, and now how she survives in the beginning along with her message board.

mu*der.

I think his sisters are fine being smart but at the same time they have a level of sucking that is not good. One of his sisters is just way into the MC and I have always hated that trope. The other is cold and calculating making her seem rather psycho and out of touch. If the old world dropped into the background with only knowing their viewer count I would rather it dropped them off only mentioning them from time to time as the MC thinks about them.

I thought I would hate the girl with silver hair (sorry not good at spelling names, especially foreign ones) but she turned out to be a somewhat decent person with a good background. I hope she doesn't dissolve into a girl who just simps for the boy because that would ruin this story which is why it only has 4 stars instead of 5 because it is a fear of mine.

The other French otherworlder is an interesting character who is a hated one and I am looking forward to seeing her fight. At the same time I have similar worries and the added worry about the growing number of girls. Also now his childhood best friend who he saved is coming and I am not actually looking forward to it. I have never understood how having more than one girl is ideal or a fantasy because that sounds so draining. Enough of my personal feelings though. Maybe it will go well and the girls will begin dating other people and their party will grow with some interesting male characters. Well, it is wishful thinking, as long as the girls don't lose their traits I think it will be fine.

When he finds out that he's become a Chosen, he doesn't inform the audience about the family massacre of his childhood friend nor ask God if his friend survived. He just automatically assumes his friend is alive even though she was stabbed 5 times in the abdomen. Is it denial?

The first time he practices his magic he faints when he runs out of mana/mp/whatever because there's no way to tell how much he has. When he wakes up thanks to an alarm (which he did not set) he thinks about how lucky he is that the barrier didn't disappear while he was out. Then he immediately starts practicing his magic again.

It's unbelievable that so few animals/monsters in the forest are nocturnal and that so many of them seem to be deaf or nose-blind. How could he realistically make it out of the forest just by covering himself in darkness? I don't blame him for not climbing a tree when attacked by the second pack of wolves though; he was exhausted and panicking, not thinking straight.

When he makes it out of the forest and finds out that he's the prime suspect for his friend's death, he becomes an emo and shut-in. He barely defends himself or describes the actual culprit. I find it hard to believe that someone can be that fragile and suffer so much trauma just reading ~5 text messages.

I'm surprised that he consistently kept so many real time viewers. In the forest, his routine was basically sleep in barrier, grind skills in barrier, then sneak through the forest (the only-semi interesting portion). Afterwards, his routine is to mope around in his room or sneak through the dungeon. I don't see how so many people can continue being interested when he's already proven there's no chance of him being discovered or interacting with anyone/anything. There are other Chosen (who actually does things) to watch.

When Alex (another Chosen) tries to pass him a message from his sisters, he refuses to hear it. How can he be so traumatized that he thinks that his family is going to flame him as well? That just proves that he doesn't know his family at all, especially given the fact that his sisters are extreme brocons.

I'm surprised that the first arc (120 chapters) was only 1 month. He spent 10 days in the forest and 14 days in the viewership ranking race. It sure seemed like he spent a lot longer than a week moping and sneaking about the dungeon on his own.
