The author puts a lot of effort in detailing an MC and his experience in a game world isekai like Yggdrasil. Although it’s not as novelly grandiose, it is instead contrarily modest. The experience is casual and refreshing. Like the contest it was written for, it is about “secretly overpowered daily life.” Though, how long it will be a secret, time will tell. Writing quality 5/5 Leagues above the average novel here. Stability of Updating 5/5 The author said a chapter a day and his post history says he did, and maybe more. Story Development 5/5 The MC had a goal, jumped on it, and then protected it. There’s no aimless wandering or pointless baggage added. The world interacts based on some cause and effect principles. I don’t see gaping plot holes, just reluctance on the MC’s side to interfere too much so he can live peacefully farming. Character Design 5/5 The MC is not Edgelord McGee nor Mr. All-knowing. He’s fallible, shown by his need to adjust to how his game character adjusts to the new world. The other people also aren’t all cardboard cutouts. They have goals themselves and affect others. World Background 5/5 The setup designed a background for the MC to explain himself and a world for the game to integrate. You will get a layout of the environment in chapters. It’s better than “Place A of greatness and beauty” and “Place B of blandness and ugliness.”

LIKENo idea. I think I argued with the author somewhere after chapter 20 because of the direction he was bringing the story with some woman riding off his coattails or whatever. Anyway, it was over this same reason: is the MC human or not? I said he was too human for an Elder God-like creature who just wanted to farm.
shashank_panthri:One question, will the mc remain a treant or will he become human in the future?

Yeah, I was going to read three more chapters, but lost interest about a year ago. The author is good at writing. It’s just not for me.
shashank_panthri:So, did you just drop this novel after your debate with the author?
