The animation is excellent, the art is high quality, and there are some very interesting stylistic choices inspired by video games. In that sense, this anime is very good, but the story, on the other hand... The premise isn't bad at all: a sickly girl with social anxiety takes refuge in video games and has to deal with the criticism her first creation receives. That's interesting, and I'd like to see how it develops. What's the problem? The interactions between characters are TERRIBLE. They're all exaggerated stereotypes, and their conversations are nothing more than a formality because we know from the start what they're going to say. I found myself losing interest in several scenes, and the only way I could regain my attention was if there was something artistically beautiful to see. I understand that this work is derived from a webtoon and that the writing quality is like this in many of those works, but a little polishing would have been appreciated. It seems like it's not worth continuing to watch. We know exactly how it's going to end, who the girl is going to end up with, how she's going to grow from a shy girl to someone who can stand up for herself... So what's worth watching now?
