Im not sure if it gets better, but so far the story just feels like a summary. We don’t even know what the world looks like, nor what the character looks like.
An interesting development would have been Alexander somehow bringing the two of them with him into the game.
Or maybe a small sub-plot of him telling his father about his mother cancer? And that the only opportunity to have money was to enter the game?
Hehehe~<3
He still can play the game and finish college, why does he need to play 24/day ? And he has knowledge from the future that would make him more efficient with his time
