Since every reviews is positive and I have nothing more positive to say I think I need to say the negative side to balance it out. My first issue with the early chapters was the numbers of characters being introduced. Readers will have a hard time to track each characters and I dont even think that it was necessary to name the organizer. Not to mention the characters also had alias characters in the game. Second the fight scenes lacked any weight on them, the members just cast skills without any explanation on how they will affacts their targets. In video game novels I've read they specify the attack damage and such and their description, well it does to some extent but its done rarely. I think it will leave the readers confused to add characters without proper introduction. Most of them wrre not even fleshed out I dont know which character were on which teams, or much of their personality the only one I could remember was Lidar. I find it odd in the championship, Aildren will just abandon the game because he felt something was off with his necklace, I mean his parents could be just somewhere though. I think it was a plot device that were not done very well. Because from what I read the news was declared after the Aildren was in as stupor. He should have prioritized the game first before the odd feeling on his necklace. Regarding the trials I didnt feel any tension the MC just casted the skills and.mobbed down the puppets. We have no idea how much skills he had, or how much mana he drained. I think i find that asoect a bit lacking. Also he did once almost felt some threat but he was saved by his father, and were able to cast a skill that killed them in an instant. The romance in this I think will feel will be somewhat forced, its onething to admire someone u treat as celebrity but with Aildren as he is now, I think it was too kind for the Landlady to even give him a free rent, she became those typical female side char who worships the MC. I think few chapters in, there was a development its a good thing, but I feel it was forced why he would turm into a complete unproductive neet just because his parents died. I would understand if his parents died because of him playing video games, that would give him a complete reason to stop, but I find no connection with it, they just went to get some grocery. You could say he was depressed thus he did all those stuffs but since he's a gamer shouldnt video games be his leeway to cure his depression? Not only that he also abandoned his team. Just my opinion, might be wrong IDK, dont take it heart since you asked for my honest opinion in the forum.

(for full disclosure I have only read up to chapter 9) The plot is very unique. Initially it shows a completely different setting, then the setting shifts completely and there is kind of a murder mystery. The author is very ambitious in their development and general progression and I guess if you do read it you will be interested due to the change in setting and stuff. The build up isn't one of the strongest aspects tho. Everything just sort of happens. Except for the sudden twist which was very well-timed, the rest of the things are a bit like coincidence after coincidence for me. I think several parts are too rushed. I think it would be nice if there were more details about the game world itself. Especially since it's VR. Like world building sort of stuff. I found that aspect a bit lacking personally. The grammar is good for the most part, but there are some errors in the writing. They don't cause an isuse in reading (but lately I've just been staring at sentences in my own novel and have become very sensitive to finding issues in everything, so I might have been looking too closely) Since the story starts with a competition right off the bat, it's not easy to know the actual effects of many of the actions being performed. The author tries to introduce all the characters, moves and other details simultaneously. And this is not only an information overload but many of the ongoing events and actions are neglected because of this. I'll give an example: in the second chapter RHC Pepper only said (?) the name of her move 'Lava Embrace' but the reader doesn't know what that means. This isn't just an issue with her move, the effects of many moves aren't described clearly. Instead there are more points when it is described what the move looks like in the game. As the novel progresses and the new game is being explored the author tries to focus on describing not only the looks but also the effect. But that doesn't change the fact that in the first three chapters any new reader goes through, these problems are present. Some overcritical comments from me because I like more realistic things: there are several parts where I think everything is too rushed. Like the part where MC tries to leave the competition, why don't the remaining four players continue playing? He wants to leave, let him. But why do the others stop. Although MC knew something was off through an unusual necklace, how did the organizers know what had happened, because he was there when his parent's bodies were recovered. And before identifying the dead people who would have told the organizers? If the organizers were behind the accident shouldn't they at least hide that, instead of publicly announcing it? What kind of console is it that his conciousness can be sent into it? Like its just something that can be worn on the head and bam you're in a new world (ik SAO had this but that anime is like an abomination to me) Especially because out MC can smell blood and whatnot in the VR. If you've ever heard about the machine which could stimulate flavors (I forgot what it is called) you would know that they have to place an electrode/a device on their toungue for it to do that. A VR helmet can't just give you the ability to smell stuff in game. Even for the conciousness of the body to be transferred, the whole body needs to be taken into consideration. Just a helmet isn't enough. The sudden closeness between Aildrin and his landlady is just ????? for me Also its weird to me that there is a competitive gaming side to a VR game that has like gameplay that involves being in cities, defending your land, creating a guild, and all that sort of stuff, and is based off of another game that honestly wasn't explained in detail.
