This series walks through the growth journey of the protagonist from a gamer NEET to an action survival hero, all the while revealing a naive perspective of the author - either because he wholeheartedly has this perspective, or because he dumbs down the perspective for the audience.
The series' plot tries to be sophisticated but fails to do so: the mind games that play out between characters are predictable, and the end-result of all conflicts (ideologically or physically) barely touches the nuances raised by those conflicts. All characters are one-dimensional, and remains underdeveloped throughout the journey.
Nonetheless, the series brings another take on an interesting (if overused) Battle Royale premise, and in this way provides enough entertainment if one can suspend belief throughout the 6-hour run-time.
