I love a good fake-out mc, and the fake op was a masterpiece, but they dragged it out way too long. Like, the title already gives away the twist.

Even with the anime stalling, I was fully on board when we switched characters, but that good will ran out fast when the real main character was just grinding video game levels for her whole childhood. Like, if she doesn't want to be the last boss, can't she just.... not attack the main characters? Doesn't she have any interest in learning why her game counterpart did what she did (so she can avoid that plotline?)

I really wanted to like this one, but the poor storytelling got in the way for me, and the premiere ended up at a 3/5.
