   The subject matter is unique—a sickness simulator—and overall the writing style is very smooth without any sudden drops in quality or abrupt endings. I also quite like the protagonist's slightly eccentric personality (the protagonist's underlying personality is gentle, not the particularly noisy type, which I really appreciate).

   It's fine to talk about it online, but in real life, who wouldn't want to throw money at everyone and knock them senseless? [Doge] The romance between the male and female leads in this book is really sweet! [Let me see]

   The first dungeon-themed entertainment book I read. If you've read *I Leveled Up Alone*, you might not have been as blown away as I was. I think the protagonist's journey from an ordinary person to a god is more compelling than "already a god" (please don't accuse me of putting down others [crying emoji], I just prefer this type). The part where the protagonist awakens his game-world abilities in the real world is so cool! Who wouldn't want to pull out a weapon and fight against the flow of people in front of all their classmates to show off? [Doge emoji] Anyway, I think...

   I think this last world was a bit rushed, so I'll deduct one star. I only liked the first two worlds.

   Judging from the title, it's a sequel to the previous book [doge emoji]. The content is largely the same, but it can be read independently.
