Did you ever want to be an anime/JRPG protagonist who races on mountain roads for fun? No, no I didn't, and I wouldn't recommend it. I wish this was a joke, alas it's not. But because my life is a video game now, can I beat it?

I get sucked into a virtual Japanese light novel but the most interesting thing to do around here is race. The problem is that I'm driving a car that is thirty years behind everyone else's and the only way I can win is to gather all my money, wits, and talent to be the best.

This is the worst kind of video game, where the only enemies I have are just more annoying versions of myself. Other bored, prideful young adults who street race on the mountain passes. Well, Thomas Friedland is here to become the [Ultimate Racer]!
