About time Pearl is part of the team...

As for the episode, they also introduced a new city so this anime is trying to build more into its world fiction. I'm not sure how to feel about the Nel being introduced as a character. Maybe she has potential with her enhanced superhuman abilities. Her request to be Fay's sub coordinate out of nowhere. Honestly, I think she was a bit too airheaded but her physical skills are kinda impressive.

New arc, new setting.

Even though Pearl has become an official member, there are too many hopefuls for the Gods' Game, preventing Fey and the others from attempting Gods' Playground. So, Miranda suggests that they participate in the World Games Tour instead. Waiting for them in the chosen city of Mar-La, the holy fountain city, is a former apostle girl named Nell.

New arc, new member for the harem... yay.

Yet another member of Fay's harem coming for him...which is a good thing for Nel Reckless.

The defeat of Uroboros has sparked more interest in the Apostles playing the games, and the place they're going next is the Sacred Spring City of Mal-ra, being one of the places requested of them...and that's where Nel is too, with her adamantly wanting to be part of his group with desperation and kicking up a fuss with her superhuman feet powers.

With Chief Secretary Balegger Ions attending to Fay and his party about the World Games Tour, it's a spectacle to be fighting against Leshea and Fay, even more so for Dax Gear Scimitar, an Apostle who has won a game against a god before, who attempts to recruit him into his group, but that Fay has no interest in. Like and unlike Pearl, Nel is not the type to give up on the gods' game, not like the who quit due to her circumstances. Even with Nel still desperately trying, her and Dax clearly don't get along, but are willing to make risks for their victory.

Mal-ra vs. Ruin, with Dax vs. Fay, one can expect a good match between them, and I hope it's rather so.

New arc, new girl, new city eh. Fay, Pearl and Leshea’s exploits against Uroboros have made them something of celebrities among the rookies and everyone’s vying to get them on their team.

We get introduced to Nel who’s already making a push for best girl with that “I want to be your woman” introduction and some of the higher ups of the fountain city of Mal-ra. From the OP we know Nel will join the team after this arc, will be interesting to see how everything plays out with this game.

5 eps in and this show is just kinda meh rn. Story wise it’s got some interesting ideas, but just feels really flat. Uninspiring production values as well. I did think episode 4 was decent, so hopefully they can replicate that with the next few games as well.

Nearly get hit by a car? Nope the car gets hit by Nel! Dax being a friendly high spirited rival is an unexpected breath of fresh air.

Well, Nel's last name is kind of descriptive of her with the way she just ran into the street without looking for traffic and then proceeds to kick the car that almost hit her, haha. Judging by the ED it looks like Nel will join Fay's harem team at some point.

the protagoniat has no real motive other than just playing games. i guess you get one wish if u complete all the games but big deal. the protagonist already has enough fame, money, generic handsome looks and red blue yellow girls around to form a harem. he already has it all but he just wants to complete the game because he can. also, he's always playing the game in easy mode using his game hacking intelligence. the games feel very unfair to other contestants but to him, the games are just stages for the protagonist to show off his genius intellect. he also acquired a powerful goddess as a team, like how is that even fair to other contestants? the games themselves are like playgrounds that have zero risks and he is just the big boy there. it's boring. gonna drop this show.

I thought Dax will become an irritating character, but somehow he is a very likable character, with him being objective about things and passionate about the God Games (in which I feel him being passionate about the games is his way of enjoying it).
Trivia: Sugoroku is just the japanese word for a board game in which the objective is to reach the end first through dice-rolling, and I guess each dice roll will land you on a spot with condition which needs to be fulfilled (like let's say in Jumanji).

okay that was new to me for Sugoroku and i guess after they land in spot there will be like mini-games in which they need to win/complete their objective before move on.

Oh bout time Fay stop his unstoppable God's game play, and now looking for more game challenge around the world. Here come the city of spring for Fay and the girls to enjoy.

Well the samurai girl is here and she already sworn her loyalty only for our goddamn mc, Fay. His respond? Running away like a bitch and realize he made a mistake sooner later. Okay plot i guess, since those scene includes the famous truck-kun strike, which unfortunately its not even a truck-kun and even fail to isekai that girl. Good enough?

Nah. There's Arnold here, and then some edgy boy tryin to be the mc, Dax. Idk what on earth they do be so competitive while they both have the same goal saving the world from whatever cause effect, to complete nonsense God's game. Guess that's the edge to keep the plot stay in line. But whatever cringe the circumstances, or the plot, happening there, let's go play some snakes and ladders! Without snakes and ladders! Its seems...

Oh boy we get Dax the Seto Kaiba knockoff. Also....why does he have a special jacket when Fey has like five wins? I shouldn't question it as this show is really stupid.

Bonus points for having a creepy fangirl who is calling Fay master despite knowing him for five seconds. Also her kick sucked. I don't see the point to this character since she is retired.

This show is such a mess that it isn't trying anymore.
I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon.
