I really liked the premise, and I'm hoping they can follow through. We've seen this idea before, with Relife being the most recent example that springs to mind, but I lost interest when it seemed to be turning into a run-of-the-mill high school drama. I liked in episode 2 that Kyoya seemed to get the message that he was going to have to work harder and break out of his bad habits or habits of caving or settling for less if he wanted to succeed, and I hope they build on that.
That may be part of the problem with the show, though, that he doesn't seem to have a lot of bad habits to break out of - he was a hard working guy when he was at the game company, and very much a go-to for everyone who needed help. Even when he first met Kawasegawa as an adult, he jumped at a found opportunity and made the most of it.
