OMG, Judging by the synopsis, anything to do with Mechs/Gundam is a Man's (Maybe also Women's) romance! Hope it will live up to my hype. Will this be like The Legendary Mechanic I wonder...

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.

It is good, the Mc has a goal and motivation, a cheat and a decisive personality. Unlike some game novels who have weak MC claiming to be pro, have rich experience and whatnot, only to suffer setbacks in the first few chapters, this one's MC lives up to expectation. As for the Mech part, we don't get to see that part yet. But yes, he can build a mech on his own with his cheat item. I just hope he would not need to go to the ends of the earth to farm precious and ultra rare materials just to build a single mech. Hopefully, it would focus more on design.

Gets op item that somehow exists Kills op bosses Breaks balance of game Slaps some faces Rinse and repeat Fck this 'unique' book that doesn't copy paste plot

Decent start up to chapter 30 with fairly logical and good progression, but then turns into the typical cringeworthy crowd reaction novel that all the Chinese webnovel artists write to boost their word count. Here’s how the story will go from chapter 30 onward: someone says the MC can’t do it, MC does it, crowd reacts for a chapter, rinse and repeat Even though there are billions of players, the MC only ever ‘randomly’ comes across god-level players somehow. This is not even half as good as ROTSSG, regardless of whether you think ROTSSG is good or not.

Our MC is reborn and gets straight down to business. There is so racist cliches early on, which seem to be stereotypical part of these novels. The pacing is fast and well developed. Not my cup of tea, but give it a go!

Don't waste your time. The book is full of cliches. The story is based on WoW but a bastardized version. If you've read other MMO books then you've read this one. Ctrl C - Ctrl V but change the names a little and you have this book. It's not even trying to innovate. We also have the classic school reunion story where he got embarrassed in the past but this time he does face slapping.
