What does risemara mean?

The story behind risemara
リセマラ compresses reset marathon, and it is exactly as athletic as it sounds. You install a game, claim the free opening pull, delete the account, and repeat until the starting lineup meets your standards. Three hours of this before the story has even begun is not unusual, and dedicated ranking articles exist to tell you which openings are worth chasing.
Developers have quietly fought back by tying rewards to accounts, handing out a guaranteed strong start, or making the tutorial long enough to break the loop. The joke inside the community is about the players who never escape stage one: perfectionists still rerolling weeks later, with a flawless roster and no progress at all.
