Wow the entire chapter really just was existential questioning, massive time jumps and breaking the fourth wall for the ending

Ch. 3 completed
Mika is revived and learns about the current state of the world and Maori. They resort to cannibalism and killing to survive. They are ambushed by the Vigilantes and Maori is killed and eaten alive. Mika realizes one of the members of the Vigilantes is Miya and vows to kill her.

Humanity gets cooked and in an attempt to prepare and protect themselves from more of it happening they create a bio organic being that ends up also trying to kill humanity. Maori because of her exposure is fighting cancer and trying to research regenerative medicine to revive Mika and undo her deteriorating body. She revives Mika.

Ok so I am actually wrong there are more chapters I just didn’t realize. Ch. I is just what I’ve already said, but now introduce Maori which ends up being her best friend/idol manager. After high school Mika can’t cut it, her sister Miya tries to yell some sense into her and Mika commits suicide right after. Maori goes mad scientist insane from it and Miya thinks Maori is responsible for Mika’s demise.

She studies extremely hard (remember she is a year behind) to get into the high school she wants because they are known for their idol culture. Gets in and is assigned to one of the idol groups called P-VALUE

So far, Mika is the main character most likely. She has a sister that’s a year younger named Miya. Mika is obsessed with idols, so much as financially straining the family going to concerts and merch. Her parents divorce and she withdrawals from school for a year and doesn’t eat much. Her mother worried but Mika kinda prefers it because she feels more like an idol. She studies to get into school of her dreams.

Normally I would summarize my notes/thoughts once a chapter ends, but given how dense this novel is, and also the fact that there are only 3 chapters too… I will probably write down a lot more frequently than I do with most light novels.

Qué cosa tan rara… se suicida, va a haber un apocalipsis y la revive su “novia/fan/mejor amiga/rival” como una zombie para meterle parte de su cerebro y luego que presencie como se la comen unos bárbaros… me he quedado sin palabras

I can't believe my toxic co-dependent Yuri turned into a sci-fi body horror

7/10

Chapter 1 was AMAZING
Chapter 2 was A WALL OF TEXT

This is one of the craziest books I’ve read in a while, evolutionary biology body horror through a satirical pop culture lens. So creative and weird

This book has no chill. From cute teen idol girl to suicide/mad scientist to hard scifi apocalypse in only 30 pages what the hell

Finished! For me, the best story was the second one. The first and third went so large scale I had trouble keeping up.

Third story finished. Genetically engineered seiyuu have laryngeal airs sacs they can use to pilot space ships. One of the seiyuu commits murder in a bid to become the ultimate seiyuu and save the world, or something. It's utterly bonkers, and then it just sort of stops.

Second story finished! In some ways, very similar to the first, but a bit less confusing. An isekai (ish?) story in which a young woman becomes addicted to a gacha game, dies from being hit by a truck, and is reborn in a world that works much like the game. Like a more violent, grander scale So I'm a Spider, with zero humanoid beings and a dash of yuri.

First story finished. We start with a girl who wants to become an idol, and we end with the creation of the universe and the origin of consciousness. I was not expecting this story to involve so much organ meat.

Now we're doing Tanaka's Revolution but even more messed up

If your idol can't jack into living beings and subsist through their immune systems, what is she even worth? Oshi no Ko ain't got nothin on this shit
