The plot revolves around a series of game competitions at a prestigious school, where students engage in challenges that are easy to follow and understand. The rules of the games are explained simply, which makes them accessible even to viewers who aren’t familiar with competitive games. This simplicity allows the focus to stay on the characters and the drama of each match, keeping things tense and entertaining throughout.
However, there’s one major flaw that undermines the entire premise (not a spoiler... this is explained in the first 5 minutes of the anime): the handling of the protagonist’s star rank. The main character is a one-star student, but his special ability allows him to lie and claim he's a seven-star, which gives him an unfair advantage in the eyes of others. While this adds a layer of strategy to his actions, it directly contradicts the established rules of the competition. According to the system, students with higher stars can’t request matches with someone ranked lower, yet throughout the series, characters keep requesting matches with him despite his one-star status. This creates a glaring inconsistency in the story that doesn't make much sense when you stop to think about it.
It feels like the writers didn't fully consider the consequences of this rule and how it disrupts the logic of the world they've built. If the system can't hold up under its own rules, it’s hard to fully invest in the stakes of the matches, especially when such a crucial detail is ignored.
