He picked the first class he saw. Then he decided to focus on melee when he was playing a spell caster and strength was his worst stat. He found a teacher for his class, but decides to pick his skills before getting any input whatsoever, even though up to that point he wanted to wait for suggestions before picking skills. It isn't on the level of being a bad player anymore... There's got to be some mental damage somewhere. And he's gotten worse every chapter.
The reason it's so annoying to me is, this is the kind of novel where you know the protagonist's dumb decisions will turn out to be amazing because the author gives him the right equipment at the right time and has sprinkled hidden skills and quests throughout the story that just happen to make the dumb decisions turn out all right. And then everyone will praise him because of how good he is.
Rant aside, the translation's good enough. It's slice of life, so there's no story to judge. The characters aside from the protagonist so far aren't bad, but aren't great either. The setting (game only) is okay, though there's nothing that sets it apart from other VRMMO games. If it weren't for the protagonist being hell-bent on making the worst choices possible, I'd probably rate it a 3 and call it a forgettable novel that's good for wasting time if you like slice of life VRMMOs. As it is, I'd only recommend it for people desperate for the genre somehow, or bored out of their minds.
Edit as of chapter 109: I got bored out of my mind and saw an update here, so I got to reading. And I must say, my mind hasn't changed. There's still no storyline, that's expected. The setting's still OK though the more I learn about the skill system the less I like it in general, not just how the protagonist uses it. The protagonist getting a high level NPC to baby sit him for a long time makes things more boring than usual slice of life VRMMO game novels, and he continues to be offensively s*upid. My rating and recommendation to avoid it stands, and I won't be coming back even if I get bored.
