The reason could be that the player is missing a key item or has a flaw in their strategy. It might also be that the game is designed to be extremely difficult to level up, adding more tension to the story.
I recommend "League of Legends: Professional Life" to you. The main character is Gao Lin, a second-tier player of the top competitive gaming club in the country. After being fired, he returned to the professional circle and became a support. He is proficient in everything. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
Maybe it's because of some special plot device or curse. The author might have set up obstacles to make the story more challenging and engaging.
There could be several reasons. It could be that the player is missing a key element or has a curse. Or, the leveling system could be broken or have hidden requirements not yet discovered by the player.
Some popular ones could be 'Sword Art Online'. It involves a player starting from a low level in a virtual world and has a great adventure. Another could be 'Log Horizon' where players are also in a game - like situation starting from various levels including level 1 and face different challenges.
Ready Player One is a science fiction novel by American author Ernest Cline. It was published on August 16, 2011. The book was set in the dystopian world of 2045, and the protagonist, Wade Waters, searched for Easter eggs in virtual reality games around the world to inherit the wealth of the game's founder.

In addition, it was reported that Readyverse Studios would work with Warner Bros. to adapt the "Level 1 Player" series into a meta-universe project, which was expected to be launched in 2024.
Often, the mental growth of a level 1 player is important too. In 'Re:Zero', Subaru starts as a weak character in the new world. But as he faces repeated failures and traumas, he gradually becomes more mentally tough. This mental development allows him to better use his abilities, make wiser decisions, and in a way, level up his overall 'player' status in the world he is in.
The main character is, of course, the player who can't level up. I can't recall his exact name right now, but he is the central focus of the story as he struggles with his unique situation.

In the field of role-playing games,"god-level players" usually referred to players with extraordinary abilities, superb skills, or unique influence in the game. Take some role-playing mobile games as an example. In a game like "Absolute Zone Zero," ordinary players might just follow the usual process of exploring the city of "New Aridu" and carry out an adventure. However, god-level players might be able to understand the game mechanics more deeply and deal with supernatural disasters such as the "hole" more efficiently. They might be able to display abilities far beyond ordinary players in terms of combat, exploration, and puzzle solving. In the concept of large-scale holographic multiplayer online role-playing games like "NPC/Player", god-level players were like those who had reached the level of super players or ultimate players. They had a deep understanding of the rules of the game, such as the point system, dungeon settings, player levels, and interaction rules. They would constantly improve their levels through cultivation. Their points were very high, which gave them a great advantage in the development of the story, the difficulty of the challenges, and the rewards. They had a higher degree of freedom and authority. They might be able to access the database, and when they reached the level of a Super Player or above, they would be able to exit the game, pause the game, or enter the rest area to share their experience with other high-level players. In the game "Maple Bound by the Puzzle Game," Maple could be seen as an existence similar to a god-level player. He played different roles to control the boss and his ability to find clues to solve the puzzle. His performance in the game was outstanding. He had unlocked his brain control ability and was able to switch between inspector, mutant, puppet master and other characters naturally and smoothly. He created a perfect character setting and let other players and NPCs play according to his rhythm, showing his strength in the maze live broadcast.
