Listen, if you are the type of person who can read something and kind of turn your brain off while you're reading you might really like this, give it a try.If you are like me and do not have that ability then get out of here... or stick around and torture yourself. Up to you.I honestly do think 3 stars is to much. Subjectively I want to give it a 1.5. I do realize however that some people will not be bothered by the things that bother me at all so I'm willing to pretend it's a 3.There are 2 major problems.... several smaller problems that chronically plague the genre but we'll focus on the major 2.1.) Nothing happens. What the MC's doing at chapter 10 is essentially the exact same thing he's doing at chapter 180 a few "events" happen but nothing that impacts the story. And no, no, being a slice of life is not a valid excuse for that. Some of the most philosophical and provocative LNs I've ever read have been slice of life novels with incredible plots. It being slice of life isn't an excuse for it having a boring plot.2.) The story setting and premise of the MC don't actually make any sense. They are playing a VRMMORPG. Which is fine, except the MC plays from the moment he wakes up till the moment he goes to sleep.... every single day without taking a break for anything. No food, bathroom, life events, ect. In fact it seems like several characters do this. He will regularly visit someone (several people in fact) super early in the morning and then visit the same person again before nightfall. Implying that they also play legitimately all day long maybe they do take breaks but that doesn't explain how dozens of people have the free time to play games from sun up to sun down for weeks and weeks on end without break. ALSO, the MC self describes himself as someone who is addicted to video games, it's even a point of pride for him. He uh... he doesn't know what even the most simple of video game terms mean. Addicted to video games, doesn't know the basic lingo. I guess you could justify that somehow; but, you better have a realy, really solid justification ready to go and the author just doesn't bother.
