Boring with no sign of it getting better. The MC’s backstory is cliche: father disappeared, struggling to eke out a living with his mom, placing on his hopes on his awakening at age 16, then he awakens and finds that he’s massively talented but it takes more effort for him to level up than others. The world is also cliche: 50(?) years ago spiritual qi returned to Earth, animals mutated into monsters, and humans awakened powers; now society is structured based on how powerful you are, and you gain power by killing monsters. Despite the unoriginal setup, this could have developed in an interesting way. And maybe it does later, but after a handful of chapters I see only warning signs. Descriptions are generic, fighting and leveling up is mechanical, and many chapters in a row are entirely him fighting monsters in the most generic LitRPG manner. So far, the author has displayed no signs that there will be anything novel or interesting about his work, so I’m dropping and I advise you to as well.

'Divinity Online'. The new breakthrough in the Full-Immersion Virtual Reality technology. After decades of work, Divinity Corp had achieved the impossible. Creating a massive video game world that people can enter and live in as if it were Earth. Their goal was clear, to create a world other than Earth that we can call home. A place where the laws of reality vanish, and the true ceiling of power shifts completely. Naturally, the shockwave Divinity Online created across the entire globe was unlike anything else. Every single person has heard of it, even those who have had no interest in video games before. Giant corporations and even governments immediately rushed to start planning to invest in this new world and just like that, billions of people had their eyes on one single date: the 19th of July. *** Arthur, like everyone else, had heard of the game and was as excited as everyone else to try it, if not even more. With how much he grew bored of his life on earth, this fantasy world was like the divine call he had been searching for. However, there was a very small problem. He had no money to buy the machine required to access Divinity Online. His wretched life had turned him into a broke teenager with no parents, and no relatives. But, by some kind of luck, he got his hands on one of those machines. Not knowing what was awaiting him in that world, Arthur was simply seeking one thing... A new opportunity in life and to find a purpose he could work for when he had none so far. [Welcome to 'Divinity Online'.] [Assimilation Started...]
