An Older Guy's VR First Love

Sorry I'm late! I saw a squirrel and got distracted! (I'm about 75% through the volume, so this review is incomplete.) - This is, in fact, the full volume and has everything listed in the ToC. - It's quite good, too! Absolutely nothing like what I assumed it to be, considering the character designs and cover art. - It has kind of a melancholy vibe, w/o having any actual tragedy or true angst. And it's overall very sweet. - - It's a lovely soft romance. 8/10 - Would definitely recommend, if you have the Coins to buy it. - - - SPOILERS BELOW, including Identity reveals. You've been warned! - - - - - - So, about the GL tag... I can't quite dispute it, but I also think it's misleading. - BOTH of the romantic parties involved seem to be men - we have seen them both outside of VR at this point. Then again, they have not outright stated anything about gender identities. And the way this is written, I would find it absolutely believable that the author might intend both characters to be MtF Trans (or some flavor of Not Cis, anyway), in a completely serious, non-offensive way. - Again, I'm not quite done with the Volume (it's good, but a slow read), so perhaps they go into detail later. - But if we take the characters as Cis, then the only GL is in VR between their avatars, and the romantic genre in reality is actually BL. - And we DO see sex (in VR, w/ the avatars), although it's not explicit or porn-y; we technically get a full-frontal, but there are no naughty bits actually shown. - Personally, I found it tastefully done. - - Overall, a very nice read. My ADHD hasn't let me get back to this to finish yet, but I have no regrets about buying it.
