Review Detail of William_Litsch in A New World, an immersive game experience
Review detail
I very much enjoy the world and the mystery of magic and the MC trying to figure out how it works, but I find myself frequently frustrated by the stupidity of the MC. Also his simping and beta willingness to always take a back seat is not my cup of tea. He falls in love with an NPC. what does this actually mean? it means he doesn't try in sparring matches. He lets her use magic and skills while he doesn't so this love is really him just allowing himself to get beat up and her enjoying beating him up. He never seems to try in matches, which is another reason why the tournament arc killed the novel for me. Tournament arcs are normally bad, but here he takes a back seat for buddies, avoids what he's best at in individual, and then doesn't even try in his matches cause he wants to know what dying feels like. He's just too pathetic to be likable to me. all his greatest moments are just different ways of hating himself and committing suicide for others he cares about more than himself. He's got issues. He even refuses to properly equip himself because he's too busy equipping everyone else because he's not as important as others.

I for my part, find the MC quite smart. He does his things in his way and does get advice often, but that is just efficient. He is not an OP character because "he studied at a prestigous university" or "his unmatched analytical thinking", he is just a normal dude with lots of determination and a specific world view. To the part about simping: He himself is not quite sure how he feels, so I would not say it is love more so attraction. She is strong, has a nice body, smart, determined and some other things, which some find attractive. In the tounament he dies use his skills, but why would he have any drive to win? He has money... and fights which do not endanger any lifes have lost any charm for him. AND he is in a situation where his training is more important. I could go on and on, because while I agree he is not an OP, harem, gorgeous, smart, rich and alpha MC, he was never supposed to be. And why should he, this novel shows a realistic view on a close to reality fantasy VR setting. That would not fit.
