FlameWar
The ML is a piece of shit.
TL;DR:
The show is good in many ways other shows struggle with, but at random moments the script goes to shit so badly an elementary schooler would be embarased for making that shit up.
The drama itself was solid for the gaming parts, and even had a lot of good character development across nearly all characters. It dragged a bit here and there, and could have probably done with a few less episodes, but it had more than enought for at least 32 episodes, and 35 didn't stretch to much.
The main problem i have with this shows that, except for 1 single case, ALL major conflicts and problems in the show started off as minor/normal problems, untill the ML acted completely, boneheadedly stupid and made it 10 times worse. And he didn't even act in character there in some parts, it conflicted with other things he did in different parts of the drama (refering to the character there. The actors all did a decent or good job, this is solely and absolutely on the scriptwriters).
Honestly this show is frustrating as hell, as they actually did various difficult things amazingly well. For example they did an amazing job at not telling, but showing us that the ML was great at understanding the social and emotional problems of his team and, as captain, helped them work through them in believable and clever ways.
A lot of other shows resolve such problems far to fast, and somehow a deep emotional or social provlem just disapears in less than an hour of in-universe time shomehow, while this show takes the time it needs. Not screentime necessarily, but simply showing them working through it at multiple different times/days.
And then the show just turns around and makes the ML an undecisive, emotionaly blind wreck unable to express even the absolut most basic emotional concept somehow. And they don't just do that once, as said before, EVERY SINGLE ONE of the major problems of the show bar one is solely turned into a big problem by the sudden and completely random changes in the ML, from his normal character shown for 90%+ of the show to someone that seems to be in a completely different and unrelated show and just wandered on swt by accident, without knowing a single line of the story.
