Review of The King's Avatar

This is a well animated, well voice acted, and enjoyable show, with two exceptions. 1. There are no good subtitles available. This seems to be a common problem with Chinese anime. They all have subtitles that seem to be done by mechanical translation and often amount to barely understandable gibberish. It's a lot like official Japanese subtitles from the 90s. This is the same problem Daily Life of the Immortal King (one of my favorite shows) has, and it's very unfortunate. 2. APM (I assume attacks per minute?). They make a huge deal about high APM explaining why Grim and Co. arebetter than everyone else, but that makes no sense in context. MMORPGs are not designed in such a way that action speed matters. At most, pounding 800 keys per minute like Grim does would just make his character spaz out and all his abilities constantly fail due to skill/global cooldowns on even the fastest actions. What's more, if they were going to make up some fake system which DID use APM, the problem remains that what they show in the game does not reflect it. The characters move at a normal pace, attack at a normal pace, nothing that Grim's character does matches the insane speed his fingers are typing. In other words, "APM" is just magic words to explain away how unbalanced the game appears to be, far more than would ever be allowed in real life.

That said, despite the fact that APM is central to pretty much everything which goes on in the game, I would just let #2 go, because so long as you ignore that plot hole, the rest of the plot works fine. The big reason why I can't fully recommend is that the horrible subtitles make the show very difficult to understand at times.
