“Kiryu lived as a person who always followed the rules, be it at work or with other people. But he would only let loose his darker desires on a space game where he was a magnate commanding a vast empire. Then one day, after dying from exhaustion, he woke up to the world where he would become the master of his own fate. And he decided to become the one thing he never did on his past gameplays in the digital world or his previous life, become a pirate.”
This story has good potential to be an OP Pirate story. So far it's off to an excellent start and the people are not cookie cutter. There's enough worldbuilding and character in the characters to be a unique universe that one loves to imagine and explore.
Keep up the great work

This is going to be a review on book 1. I may edit this later when other books of it come out or not I may just drop it according to how book two goes.
My initial thoughts it's an interesting story with it's concepts and themes But it's just missing something. I'm not sure how to describe it and this just maybe because the first book is used to set up the rest of the story going forward but it just feels like something's missing and I'm not sure what that is.
Anyway what I got to say on book one is that it's not amazing nor is it bad it's just OKAY and that's alright it's the first book it's meant to be okay.
That's the end of my review I don't really want to get into spoilers because I can't remember some of the finer details so that's it.
Now I have a few gripes here and there like
How he sleeps with one of his new subordinates later on for inexplicably no reason. If there was a reason can one of the other readers explain it to me because I don't get it why he did it.
I have a few other gripes but that was just the one that came to my head while writing this.
Now one of the mysteries that I think will keep me coming back to the story is what happened in the prologue. The things that happened in the prologue is probably what's going to keep me coming back to this because I want to know if the ship that the malignant mother has was in the prologue was his ship that he built in the game before creating a new account or it's the ship that he has now but in the future. I think that what's going to make me come back to read this.
I think if not for that I would drop this it's an interesting story but what I've seen so far after the prologue hasn't made me want to keep reading this I don't think it's my cup of tea.
THIS IS STILL ABOUT THE FIRST BOOK:
This was it edited add-on to the review my first part of the review. I was just ideally thinking about this book and they came to mind.
We also get some hints that there are some bigger things in play and at the current point of the story the protagonist is only in a Small part of the universe and that there is a bigger game out there that we haven't been shown yet. The protagonist has said and shown that he knows more than he's letting on to us the readers which I guess is to keep suspense and the mystery.
Like at a point in the
story he says that humanity has once almost ascended to godhood which has been said in the prologue but something happened that preventing them from reaching it. Which I think he should probably know what happened because it has been stated that he had 90% the game I think I can't remember exactly. Granted you can make an excuse for this by saying that the game is evolved over the years that he was not active and entered the game.
In conclusion at the current point of the story there are many contradictions and I don't know if these contradictions will be resolved later in the story but at the current point they do exist. Some other readers may think there are no contradictions but I think there is.
