This novel starts off with a really strong hook and I was hella excited for where i thought it was heading. It seemed like a really interesting new type of management novel with some solid drama and characterization and the MC really came out strong and overcame difficulties to claw his way to a win and set up a path of success. And then everything after that is just effortless and completely overpowered and it turned into just another virtual reality game novel with the 'comedy' largely consisting of "haha wow look at the craaaaaaazy antics these epic memers get up to." The MC is just barely mentioned beyond having a reaction now and again, large sections of the novel now are just interactions between random npcs you don't care about making stale jokes from 10 years ago, there's only a very tenuous connection to internal consistency with how the author vaguely makes excuses why everything he does is absurdly overpowered, actions stop having consequences so its hard to care about any of the characters and you can never feel a sense of crisis... I suppose its still worth reading if you have nothing better to do but with how original the first couple chapters were and how cliche it turned out when the story just stopped focusing on the interesting bits.... It almost seems like they switched authors. Definitely worth a look in the first couple chapters but i wouldn't waste spirit stones on it.

I totally agree with you there. It started of really well, with an interesting concept. But goes downhill after that. Plus i hate the fact few chapters barely has the MC in few paragraphs... like seriously am i suppose to care about this npcs!???
