I think a lot of it was that many people started the series with VII and were expecting more of a direct sequel . <| sep |> Then have you seen the anime or read the manga for Gantz ? It ' s similar to that . The characters would get into a ' game ' or worldrealm , and as part of it , they have to complete missions . These missions can vary from ' Killing X enemies of Y type ' or ' Keeping person X safe ' or sometimes it ' s just ' Survive until insert timedate here '. Through completing these missions , they will gain pointsmoney in return , which they can use to strengthen themselves or buy items etc . That ' s the gist of what infinitystyle novels are . Would that be enough to explain it ? <| sep |> Sound cringy , but I think of my life . I think of the mistakes I have made during my whole live . What I would change if I could go back in time and I think about the current situation which isn ' t really great . For 4 years I haven ' t had a real talk with someone face to face . Generally these kind of things get me really sad
