Read the full take

QUESTISM is a fun, RPG-flavoured story with a premise that puts a gamer on an underdog path. A gaming geek who hates school faces relentless bullying, and he wishes his life was more like the quest games he plays. His wish is granted when a quest prompt appears in real life, offering an easy task and an enticing reward. He takes the chance, and one quest leads to another. The rewards grow bigger and the stakes rise, and he slowly rises from a bullied outsider into someone who can stand up for himself. The full-colour art is bright and energetic. The honest cons: the bullying is heavy in the early chapters, and the quest structure can feel repetitive as each new objective follows a familiar shape. Some supporting characters are thin. Still, it is an engaging, fast read for fans of quest-driven power fantasy. If you enjoy watching an underdog level up, this is worth a look.
