First of all, this is one of those novels that either you will like it or you won't like it, so if you don't end up like the novel it's ok, just be aware that it doesn't mean that the novel itself is bad.Now to my review, reading this reminds me a lot to my times playing MMORPGs. There is no end goal (so far) for the game, and there is a lot of freedom to do what players can do in the game so the story is mostly about what the MC does during his gameplay (there are no scenes that happen in the real life, just the game), what makes the story interesting is that it will leave you wondering what will happen next like what will he summon next, what kind of map will he explore next, what kind of bosses will appear, how will the summoned monster change, etc. The bulletin board chapters are also quite funny and it really feels like a game forum with everyone saying whatever is on their mind.Regarding the MC, he is the player that will just what interest him at his own pace (which is the equivalent of a hardcore gamer lol) so all his actions are dictated with what he would like to do next, also he is not "OP" in the unfair meaning, since it's technically possible for everyone to be as strong as him, it is just that it almost impossible to be able to match him considering that his average playtime is of 18h daily (no, it's no a joke), so as the story progres the gap between him and the rest of the players will become bigger, but even for him there will be battles and events that will be impossible for him to solo so he will still pair up with players from time to time. He also doesn't have plot armor that makes him win every battle since even him will die sometimes due to some mistakes like any other player.Something to note is the MC has no experience playing MMO in the past, so he doesn't know about a lot of MMO terms and will also from time to time take actions that will leave you thinking "Why would you do that!?" or "No!, don't do that!" for example but when you stop for a moment to think about it, these are the kind of mistakes a first-timer of MMO would make.And finally for those wondering, there is no romance so far from what I have read, which makes sence since it would be weird to have romance in a online game even if it is a VRMMO, but if anything happen I will edit my review (I doubt it though).
