As always you just can't trust critics. This show is amazing. It's got reallyGood characters a great story the fight scenes look very well done.
This anime is going to be one you don't want to miss out on. It's going to have 24 episodes as well which is a huge plus. 12 episodes are fine but when you double it, yessssssir. I'm not really sure what else to say because I don't want to ruin it with spoilers but just do yourself a favor and watch it I'd be surprised If you don't give it a personal rating of 8/ 10 For me it's. 10/10 I'm huge into anime and also video games so these ones just hit different for me.
Go watch it.

This feels like it was written by someone who actually plays games or at least did their research. The MC is a guy who hunts and exploits glitches and unlike a lot of the protags I see for this kind of thing he isn't a sad friendless loser, which is a nice change of pace. He actually has friends he chats with across games who each have their own weird approaches and playstyles. I liked the understanding the writer has that games are communal. The people who are breaking this game have a history of doing the same kind of thing across other games.
They're good at games because they test each other in competition and swap ideas. The protagonist wasn't born special, he's someone with a long standing hobby of playing unfair games and using solid meta understanding or exploits to get through them.
The world of the game itself is interesting, and actually sounds like something I would enjoy playing. It leaves the game's main story a mystery and then drops hints at it instead of front loading the viewer with infodumps over explaining everything like a lot of anime do. I think the show is building a mystery on the real life side on why the game works the way it does, and I'm interested in seeing how that pans out.

In short there is no twits, no drama, nothing to lose or gain here... It is like drawing a straight line to the infinity! You don't' worry and you don't cheer for any of the characters.
Characters - development mehhhhh! So far I watched every released episode and not much to relate to. You really cant be empathetic about anything with any of them. They just don't touch any emotional aspect of a viewer.
Fight scenes - I would not say it is horrible or bad, but it has nothing special about it.
Drawing - only thing that was more or less fine here.
You know what, find out for yourself. If you wanna kill some time and do some work/study or any similar activity while playing this on background, you won't be missing anything important.

Do know why have positive reviews to be honest, its a pretty average and mediocre anime with above average animation, there is no real danger like solo leveling, there is no drama not complicated stuff, nor romance, not funny stuff it just a very ok anime virtual reality game with a vey forgettable plot and characters, anime fans need to be more demanding and ask for better stuff, this is not good, and they are giving good reviews only because of the pressure other otakus are putting in webs like my animelist, and that's just sad af to be honest, that's not good and we need to do better than that ok.
It's basically some gamer guy, who starts out OP, narrating what he does... like some streamer. 😑
"Look how good I am!"
"See how fast I am!"
It's some dude's fantasy to be good gamer... 😆
The animation is above average.
Voice Acting is average.
Story is... "See how good I am at playing a video game!" That's the entire story.
Storytelling: Poor. It's just following around some trash-talking dude as they play a video game... Like a streamer.
Character development: Non-existent. They start out OP.
It feels like this entire series is someone *wishing* they were good at video games, but in reality they *really* suck at them.
Overall, it's not terrible. It's watchable, but definitely a far cry from good anime. Want Great anime in the same genre? Solo Leveling.
