I have to hand it to the author... It's so hard to tell a groundhog's day type story and keep readers engaged. After season 1, you realize at any moment, one of them could be active or back to character mode and you gotta keep up with whose doing what and whose on whose side. It such a clever take on the I-woke-up-in-a-game story and endless loop story. The pacing is great; fast enough to keep things moving, but slow enough to not lose readers with gameplay dynamics, the switching alliances and ongoing suspense. I really love this story as a story concept and what makes it even better is the outright unhinged nature of Bada and Doha's relationship. They are both insane, but they are also both sharp and crazy about each other, like, literally ride or die. Bada is a lot more levelheaded than Doha because Doha has tunnel vision (Bada4Life and death!). But Doha is more act now explain later guy compared to Bada's more calculated approach. But, they work so well together. So glad this story exists. I think I'm going to reread it before the next chapter comes out.
