The series revolves around a man who dies and reincarnates as a girl, becoming a passionate fan of virtual YouTubers. The protagonist acquires a unique ability to learn languages, which is a key plot point. The writing is commendable, with explanations unfolding gradually.
I'd rate it 4 or 4.5 out of 5 for its quality, but my personal preference leans towards a 3.5. My issue lies with the "saving the world" theme, despite the engaging buildup. The story introduces the Russian invasion of Ukraine as a backdrop, effectively contributing to the narrative, but the protagonist's role in averting disaster ends up being rather underwhelming. Instead of utilizing her linguistic skills for global initiatives like coordinating a grassroots movement, diplomacy, or nuclear disarmament, she mainly focuses on assisting her VTuber friend's mother in winning a US election.
While I understand the potential for the story to evolve, the current resolution feels simplistic and unsatisfying, given the preceding context. The idea of a magical campaign through translated content seems clichéd, and it's disappointing that such a well-developed character and premise don't explore more ambitious solutions.
Despite this criticism, the characters and their development are enjoyable, particularly the language-related aspects. The backstory, with the MC's past life connection and the growth-induced memory loss, adds depth to the tale.
In summary, if you're into action-packed narratives, this might not be your cup of tea. However, fans of VTuber series are likely to appreciate the story, given its focus on that genre. The potential for a more substantial saving-the-world plot is what keeps me hoping for a shift in direction in future chapters.
