    I love protagonists who look harmless but are actually incredibly destructive; the violent aesthetics are so satisfying. The protagonist is practically the darling of the group—who could resist someone so well-behaved? (The contrast is really enjoyable.) What's commendable is that each character has their own story, with occasional little Easter eggs about their backstories, making the characters vibrant and alive. Plus, the livestream comments are all incredibly witty, there's no internal strife between nations, some parts are genuinely hilarious, and it's a no-romance, feel-good story.
