That's a bit disappointing, I prefer story that stay grounded, most people don't have traumatic backstory, they're just kinda bad at interacting with people because they haven;t done much of it. Giving him some sort dark background, they just make him less human, although it could be interesting if it turned out to be a whole bunch of nothing. It's interesting there's been more slice-of-life/romcom show about people meeting in mmo just has the genre is dying out and the online community is moving on to other online game. Maybe its different in japan, but nowaday people don't really use mmo as chatroom, they'll just use chatroom/discord directly, usually in some sort of loose gaming community/guild that bounce between multiple games. I'm guessing these show are more targeted at older audience with some nostalgia, hence why they tend to feature adult. |

This was my most anticipated show this season and has turned out better than I expected. I like the idea of people connecting through gaming while the story mainly focuses on the slice of life aspect rather than the game itself. Akane is also an adorable mess of a person
I never did this myself (too shy/insecure and suck at playing games), but always admired the experience. It's probably in part why I wrote a story about something similar. It's hard to tell how far the romance will progress by the end, but I look forward to seeing what happens every week! |

An event doesn't have to be overly complicated or drama-filled to be trauma. Kids get bullied, friends break up over dumb things, parents disapprove of their kids' choices, all these happen all the time. Just because they're common occurrences doesn't mean they don't hurt. |

This, absolutely. They remember too. I remember once I tried to broach the subject with my parents that I was having some social issues and my mom told me I wasn't at school to socialize but to study and I literally have never talked with my parents about my social life struggles again. And I'm 37 now! It doesn't have to be hugely dramatic but if it was notable enough it can stick with you for the rest of your life. |
