NGL I'm kinda upset about all these VRMMO(?) novels popping up everywhere. The thing is... video games don't matter. So when the entire plot is just a guy playing a video game 24/7, I can't help but wonder... what exactly is the point of these novels?

LIKEIt's not that these novels are about something that doesn't matter, it's that the video game is often the *only* thing they talk about, despite mostly being inconsequential IRL. I wouldn't read a novel that only really talks about money (those "super-rich" fantasies, ugh), or even a novel that only talks about food. One of the novels this time around was something about an "unlimited buff talent", which sounds like a fun read. But if the entire plot ultimately takes place in a video game, why even bother? Just chapters upon chapters of a guy cheating at a video game? Why even bother, if the main character could just take off his VR equipment and find that, despite his success in the virtual world, his life is unchanged? What's next, a thousand chapters of a guy reading a book at a library?
