The opening to the story is fairly straightforward and wastes no time in getting into the spectacle that is being sucked into a video game. Ultimately, it is incredibly reminiscent of The Matrix and heavily draws inspiration from it, but what really differentiates it to an enjoyable degree is how it is now played entirely seriously. There is a humor to it that is often direct but can also be subtle. Rubi's exasperation at being forced into this is as relatable as it is funny—a very strong opening.
Thank you so much! It's such a relief knowing that my opening is strong enough to stand on its own. And wow, I hadn't even thought about how it compares to the Matrix, but now that you mention it, you're right. Ruby is in fact red-pilled and pissed off.
This image is going to sit with me for a while. Hope to hear from you again sometime! <3
