   This kind of subject matter is frequently written about in other forums, but it's relatively novel on JJ. It has a feel of online games combined with Pokémon, and it's worth reading.

   The writing style is rather flat; the survival story is written like mundane domestic drama, lacking any sense of tension or excitement. If you're going to be about survival, then at least focus on surviving properly! Letting the main characters meet so early is ridiculous.

   I started reading it because of the title, thinking it would be one of those exciting stories centered around scientific research. But the career storylines always felt superficial and lacked depth. The romance was also ridiculous. The male lead was the female lead's teacher in his past life and had many shining moments, but after being reborn, he's just a tool revolving around the male lead.
