If you are going to only Skim this Review, then I'll tell you it is a ok story quality-wise, but it is a very fun story. Even though this is a story based around a mmorpg, the author did not think too deeply how mmorpgs work as a game and just used game elements to create story *******. Like how losing a level upon character death is used to create stakes and consequences for the players about to do a risky plays which is compounded as higher levels become very grind heavy. You can see how this would make fights more tense when the odds are against the heroes and death in a game substantial but not fatal. However, when viewed as a game, this mechanic is incredible harsh and not player friendly with how easy it is to die in this game. When you die, you lose the level, the stats that came with it, any skills that unlock on those levels and all proficiency with said skills, and maybe an equipment piece you had now free for anyone to take. These are very powerful reason to not die for a story character, but as a random player, this death penalty will kill alot of player interest. Now if you can ignore all of the game stuff as a possible game and just take those at face value, then you can focus on the best parts. The characters. Alot of main characters are quirky and memorable which leads to alot of fun interactions and situations. I could talk about them in more depth like with the game problems but that will ruin the fun. TL;DR: Story about a bad mmorpg with funny and enjoyable main characters.

All I will say is to look up Everquest, and that game's death penalty. Then look up the release date. Then the player numbers.

Every (all the ones currently being translated at least) Chinese vrmmorpg webnovel has the same penalty for death.

Yeah, that Death Penalty would actually INTEREST a huge number of people that are sick to death of the current MMORPGs out there that hold your hand and coddle you. If you want to compete with others, the harsher the death penalty the better. It makes death matter and people who YOLO or Leroy Jenkins things will quickly be crushed under foot by those whoa re crafty, clever, patient, and intelligent.

thanks for the review! I'd like to know, does the rpg world affect the real world in any way? I mean, do people in the real world gain any abilities or powers? I am really not interested in stories where all there is is the mmorpg so people can be real careless because even with a harsh penalty there is no true consequence to death. The idea of constantly fighting and improving doesn't feel right to me because such an 'industry' must be finite and boring. Please, let me know

All the characters are extremely bland, except perhaps the MC's mercenary group having at least 2D characteristics. All the female players are insufferable and friendly with eachother. The MC is everyone else's *****, he does everything for them under the guise of him being a "good person". The only time he got pissed off was because some retarded woman from his guild almost lost him tens of thousands of dollars worth of top-grade equipment that belonged to a friend of his, but he immediately cucked out and forgave her. The MC gets embarrassed by some priest that heals him at random times and everyone calls that "teasing", I call that retarded. A bunch of women from his guild attack him out of nowhere sometimes yet he doesn't retaliate because the MC is a "good person". There's a point where he goes to another city and there's a woman married to the leader of a powerful guild, she f**ks with anyone who disrespects her and has her guildmates kill them and anyone from the same guild on sight then making them lose levels repeatedly, but then when he sees her again, he forgives her because "anyone would've done the same". Are you retarded ? Only the most psychotic would f**k this hard with people, he even tries to compare it to someone else helping him in a tavern by killing 5 guys whom he had just killed the friend of (because of a bounty collection mission). They were about to kill you ! It's not the same ! For some reason the MC hides that he's the guy who killed a dude he hated because it'd attract people challenging him, which I doubt, but he keeps doing it months later when everyone else lost interest. The game rules are unreliable at best. I can't describe how much I hate this novel. I hate every interaction between characters, there are some realistic ones here and there, but overall they suck and it gets worse the longer you read. Review was written by Parpaing from NU.
