This is a hard book for me to rate because I genuinely don't like the MC. I feel like the author was attempting to write about a character that has undergone trauma and came out of it damaged. But, nothing is ever specifically mentioned. The only thing that is mentioned is that the character gets low social batteries. But when this happens, she is mean and rude to people. Which, honestly, isn't a very good representation of introverts. But nothing else was really mentioned. No cptsd or bpd which would explain her behavior. Worse, she even states she's gone to therapy and gotten to the point where she is forming new stable friendships but she acts like a teenager whose never been diagnosed or talked about her trauma.

Worse, the author seem to never have played an mmorpg and have some weird ideas about how men behave when they see a female player. (A lot of "hey sexy come level with me")

Worse, this all seem to take place in a single day. I could understand mood swings on different days. I could understand waking up and feeling bad. I can't understand being nice to one stranger, and five minutes later being a mean bitch to another stranger without said stranger even doing anything different than the first.

It would all make sense if it wasn't a time travel story. If this was just after her loss, but it isn't. That being said, I'll still read book 2 in the hopes she decides to grow or realize she isn't being fair.
