The first problem is: this trial takes place inside virtual reality inside Mind Palace inside the mind of the MC located in a fantasy world created for trial in the video game. With each level of this dream within a dream within a dream, empathy for the characters and interest in what is happening is lost.
The second: even without this, this chapter feels like a very drawn-out filler. When the android said that there were 5 more floors ahead and each one would be longer, I almost deleted the game.
And it started much earlier. The plot has long begun to mostly wander from side to side instead of moving forward.
I really hope that on the 6th floor the MC will get tired (as we are) of these games with the psychopath and will punch his way out.
In the “real" world (as real as it is), much more important problems await him: well, kidnapped companions, friend in coma, other candidates, you know, things like that.
