Anime Crossover: Recreating the Spire, Making Utaha and the Others Cry!

When Yi Chen transmigrates into a world where countless anime universes collide, he sees familiar characters like Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri around him. He decides to return to his old profession and personally recreate, one by one, the hardcore masterpieces that exist only in his memories.

The first game he chooses is Slay the Spire. This masterpiece, blending deck-building with roguelike gameplay, stumped countless players in his previous life and kept them up all night restarting. In this world, too, it soon finds its first batch of "victims."

When the talented Kasumigaoka Utaha of Toyosaki Academy tries it for the first time, she watches her carefully built deck collapse in an instant before the third-floor boss, wiping her progress and forcing her to start over. Her hand trembles slightly on the mouse. Fan artist Eriri, meanwhile, keeps refreshing the screen where the words "You Died" are displayed, refusing to believe she can't get past the first floor.

But this is only the beginning. The Binding of Isaac, Hollow Knight, Dark Souls... As one maliciously difficult game after another comes out, Utaha isn't the only one on the verge of tears. The entire gaming community begins to wail.
