As a relatively young Japanese speaker, can confirm, it can be either bad or good in context as slang. The comparison to English “wicked” makes sense - could be like “whoa, that’s really uncool/dangerous/awful” or it could mean “whoa, that’s amazing! Sick!” Probably library author is going for the latter!
