Meh. Same thing over and over but decent enough to pass some time if you're really and I mean really, really bored.I say this as someone who can usually read anything and actually really loves slice of life, but this has to be the most placid novel of all time. I don't mind the salted fish/OP MC tropes at all- in fact I sometimes actively search out those tropes even, but this is ridiculous even to me.The appeal of a salted fish MC is that they slowly reveal their abilities to people, astounding them that someone so lazy can be so OP or they stay out of the way avoiding the center of conflicts while enjoying their own lives simply. If not that then there should at least be comedic affect that everyone around thinks he's super op and he needs to keep up the farce or something. IDK but some sort of conflict.This MC doesn't really do any of those at all. He surprises or astounds the customers/passerby's at first like is somewhat expected but after those first few instances where he shows the invincibility buff off in his shop when people attack him or his employee, but then after he takes down a saint (it's a tree lol) and news of him spreads around, there is no more action at all.People basically look at him like he's god or something. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's even stated in the novel that they can't comprehend his power so they wouldn't even blink if he told them he's god. None of the "villains" or "antagonists" or anyone even require him to act- he says a few words or something and they get scared enough to stop there.So no comedy or conflict there.At least you can expect some business management right? Not really.It's kind of boring really especially after the first few hundred chapters. Basically in the beginning at least there was some interest in what new products would be introduced and how it would affect the customers etc, but later on there's rarely anything truly new. It's like "oh, there's a new mode in the same game" and btw the games have no real plot. Reading it is like watching someone play a combat game or something so it feels like a real waste of time for the readers. Nothing is really expanded on after a certain point like they add in job classifications in a certain mode of the game, but besides saying the role's name nothing about any of those roles is ever explained. Also the MC (at the point I'm at) was supposed to learn to develop a game, apps for the phone, and release his own products (in this case a webnovel), but I think I've been reading him doing these thing for a few sentences then giving up and leaving it for later for a few hundred chapters. Like literally this novel has been mentioned since so long ago but he only just released the first 5 chapters. It's just super boring after like the first 2-300 chapters. I don't know if I'll ever come back to finish it because everything about it is so lukewarm. The pace is so slow and There's no tension or comedy or romance really so idk what the point of finishing it would be at this point.
