Overall, what I could read if the story reminded me of Kings Avatar or Reincarnation of the Strongest Sword God, but without so many cringy cliche moments. You aren't told why or how the MC is reincarnated into the past. Though the author should be very careful about copyright moving forward as I did notice that the location names and some of the history was basically World of Warcraft.

It feels like a very generic VRMMO story, where the entire plot is literally World of Warcraft adapted into VR with worldwide players on a single set of servers. I'm not joking about it being WoW, large portions if not the majority of the game are liberally ripped from that, including the story, races, certain enemies and bosses, the bag system, the classes, etc. including characters and enemies such as Sylvanas Windrunner and Hogger. The main things which I think has changed is the combat system being VR, so freeform with the option for getting critical hits when targeting weakpoints, changes to skills and how they're earned/the drop system to a lesser extent, and the uses of life professions e.g. engineering. The focus of the story is very much on the action and the in game skill system, which at least don't disappoint. It captures a bit of the glory of the loot grind, and keeps the combat somewhat fresh for the first forty chapters, although no guarantees to how it will feel a hundred chapters or a thousand down the line. Characters are alright in that they have the basics but they don't stand out in any way at all. There's motivation, some degree of character such as the MC being "filial" and "driven", but no special characteristics. Outside of the game is typical poor family, high-class love interest who he can't be around, young master enemies, people who he doesn't like from his previous life and so forth. The whole concept reminds me of a Korean novel called One Man Army except far less original. It's a decent read to waste time but I don't feel much hype from it.

I'm a Pastor, what the hell is an Acute Gastroenteritis Outbreak Spell?!

I found myself in a parallel universe, awakening as a male priest. Everything seemed perfect; after all, as a healer, specializing in aiding women should pose no issue, right? However, I couldn't help but wonder about some peculiar spells in my repertoire. Firstly, what in the world is the "Instantaneous Outbreak of Acute Gastroenteritis" spell? And don't even get me started on the "Osteoporosis" spell. What purpose could these serve in my healing endeavors? The confusion only deepened with spells like "Blood Burn," "Gradual Freeze," and "Mental Chaos." Can I still peacefully focus on healing women with such ominous abilities? Comparing my spells to those of other professions, I couldn't help but notice the stark contrast. Mages wield "Doomstorm" and "Ice Age," swordsmen boast "Sword Rain: Homecoming" and "Wind-Cutter Slash," while archers showcase "Arrow Rain: Shooting Stars" and "Storm Arrow." Yet, my ultimate spells are disturbingly named "Cancer Cell Proliferation," "T-Virus Infection," and "Rabies Outbreak." In the midst of it all, a certain character, some crying girl, laments, "Noooo, I just took a bath, who would have thought that I would become infected!" Meanwhile, a villain chillingly asks, "Do any of you know what it feels like to burst apart while spouting blood? No! You don't know!" Even a boss character confesses, "Dear family, who can understand? I just took a nap, and when I woke up, I suddenly found that I have no kidneys!"
