I don't know why this anime has so many negative reviews and why this is less than 7 stars , but in my opinion it is one of the best anime I've seen, although SAO and LOG horizon would still be better than this , but this anime is actually better than lots of trash vrmmorpg type anime, the protagonist isn't super powerful here , there are no cheat skills or anything, most of the settings seem normal, it's actually better than Is it wrong trying to pickup girls in a dungeon, i wish this anime had more episodes and more seasons, whoever reading my ... review i would humbly ask you to not be bothered by negative reviews and go ahead and give it a try , thanks.

Mixed Feelings

I was just watching this series because I wanted something to do with my time, so I wasn't taking it too seriously.

The characters aren't really anything great - Ray is extremely underdeveloped as a main character, and strangely enough, his Embryo, Nemesis, gets perhaps the least focus of everyone, and I expected her to be a main character, but she just wasn't.

The other characters are.... better. None of them are really amazing, but the ones that kept vaguer have an air of mystery to them that makes you think they're pretty interesting, and what you do see doesn't hurt that image. That's most of ... the high powered players, they're interesting, because they aren't really explored. While Ray and Nemesis are like 4's - not good, sometimes get in the way, but ignorable, the rest of the cast is maybe a 6, and for side characters, the side characters are 8's.

The story is pretty basic, and can seem really all over the place, but the ending changed my mind on it a lot. Almost everything ties into the ending - a little too cleanly, but just roughly enough where I still really liked it. Additionally, a lot of the power and details writing was like almost entertaining. I could tell a lot of stuff had been left out in worldbuilding and mechanics, but I could usually follow along well enough and forgive it enough for most of the action and plot to make sense.

The art, animation wise, may not be the best, but I'm not the best judge of that. Some of it is generic, sure, especially in one specific place int he ending which would've been cooler if it wasn't. However, there were also multiple times where I thought that the concept being shown to me was legitimately pretty cool to see. Some of the designs are just straight up satisfying, and they stuck out to me. The ice mecha was a very nice addition to the regular mecha, and made me realize that the jaggedness and hardness of ice make it pair very well with the aesthetics of metal.

As for sound, I skip OP's and ED's, but from what I heard I think there might be different ED's? Which I'm a little surprised by, if true, but I'm not sure it is. I rarely like anime OP's, and I didn't like this one either.

The other thing the story does well is give a sense of world. Maybe we don't get to see it here, but it really feels like there's a greater plot hidden in the future volumes of the light novel - the groundwork is being set.

While I was watching it, it felt like it had the potential to be good, but wasn't. The weak main character and only a little better side characters didn't help. But I did feel like it was worth it by the last episodes.

Also, the last villain... wasn't really the best villain. Although one of the very last scenes did excite me for their potential in terms of interactions with Ray.

It doesn't leave a bad taste in my mouth. it doesn't have a taste at all.

It is neither good nor bad. it is just empty. not even entertaining. i'd rather choose a horrible anime than this empty one. it's like playing a game but skipping the story.

story: generic but empty, not even entertaining. There are the originals of stories and later on it becomes generic if used over and over again. nevertheless, generic stories most probably will be entertaining. For example, marvel movies are the best generic but entertaining stories. Infinite dendrogram is generic but horribly empty. It is generic because it follows a ... standard, but it is empty because it's execution of that standard is not complete. It lacks the minimum of generic stories - entertainment. it might as well pursue ecchi , at least the perverts will be entertained.

art style: standard

characters: exaggerated. MC high horse doing "good" to save NPCs, but in reality/practice - a very greedy person. he takes all the loots without even helping the NPC victims.

character reactions: MC is a FRAUD. MC sees bad things done vs. NPCS. He tries to saves them. actually saves them and receives very huge loot. MC doesn't want the loot. He takes the loot but he feels to bad for the huge prize, so he decides to divide it with other party members. He never really helped the NPCs, not even a single coin.

Others will may either hate this anime or be indifferent.
