The story is about a guy who wakes up as an extra in the video game he is a veteran of. By pure coincidence he gets involved with the final boss and the hero of the game (both harem members) changing the story and putting himself as the center of the game's main questline. By using his game knowledge, he overcomes his weak in-game stats, completes the game challenges and creates harem along the way.I have read the first 33 chapters and have 2 main problems which make the read not very enjoyable.The first is the protagonist's motivations. He claims to only wanting to survive and not wanting any attention on himself but always put himself into a great risk and into the spotlight (of course plot armor saves his ass). Also even though he knows the girls are in love with him (the game tells him) all he do is using them for his plans and never shows any kind of affection or care (different of 'she is an important character so must protected for the game plot to happen'). Tiny spoiler example:Spoiler
He invites the girl he knows is in love with him to a dinner at expensive hotel only to use her to beat the bad guy's goons putting her and himself at great danger
[collapse]But that is just a little annoying (I can even see some people finding it charming). The real reason why I give it 2.5 star is that the plot is full with random info. Like 70% of the chapters are random world building, our guy finding some skills in his skill tab and some in-game farming strategies (that he knows bcs he is a game veteran duhh). Majority of the novel is: MC combines this skill with that rare item under the full moon, so he can become the most powerful at the given situation despite his very weak stats. It feels like you read a very detailed playthrough tutorial of a game that you don't care about.Maybe it becomes better at the letter chapters, maybe some people enjoy this type of story but for me it feels too dragged out and don't really understand the high rating.
