   I didn't finish page 1; I got stuck on the world tournament part. I read almost 100 chapters of the tournament content and was completely overwhelmed, so I gave up. Overall, though, it's pretty good. The premise is interesting, and the plot is engaging. There's a betrayal element, but it's not too serious. I'm currently following page 2, and haven't found anything I particularly dislike yet. Page 3 is a bit different; it's about "you" transmigrating into the game. I just started reading page 4; let's see how it develops.
