    This novel is incredibly original!!! The games the protagonist creates aren't simply copied from other works. Since I don't play many games, every game mentioned in the novel feels fresh and new to me. The novel even describes the gameplay and storylines of these games, which is fantastic! Who understands the feeling of redemption from suddenly discovering such a powerful plot? And while the games do have haters, they're not so numerous that you can't see them everywhere. Honestly, even as a reader, I want to jump into the novel and play a couple of rounds! Highly recommended!!!
