   The first book is a post-apocalyptic gacha game where the female protagonist possesses a unique S-rank lucky talent.

The second book has a mature writing style. I hadn't watched the anime before, but after reading the book, I specifically watched it, and personally, I felt the anime was a bit too juvenile. Watching the protagonist grow little by little gave me a long-lost sense of exhilaration.
