Not gonna lie, the start was pretty rough to get through(the initial first 25 chapters or so) for various reasons like the ranking system (I am a person that is bothered even by small details like this, so this might not have been as bothersome for others), some grammatical errors as I usually read only top-quality novels and the MC's edginess. However as more chapters came out the grammar improved to the point there were only a few errors noticeable in a dozen chapters or so, I stopped being bothered by the ranking system, we got more of the character's background and the MC was not as edgy as before and he actually developed as a character and made believable mistakes and decisions. The only major thing I was bothered overall was how the MC was able to dodge magic spells at the speed of a bullet and the author gave the explanation that he analyzed it and dodged it since he had the skills in the real world too. There was someone who said that even if he is able to do that, his body in the VR world will not be able to keep up with him and the author replied that since it's VR things depend more on his brain's abilities or something like that. I completely disagree with that, because the stats in VR are supposed to limit his body's movement and his agility was his lowest stat (the stats of a player that just started the game). If he could move his body in whatever way he wanted, then what will be the meaning of stats?Now I will move on to the point I liked the most in the novel - the focus on the 'real' world. I think that the best decision that the author made in the entire novel is to focus on the 'real' world as much as he did on the VR world. The other VR novels I have read are always 95% ( in the very least) VR and 5% (an exaggeration) real world. I commend the author for that.Overall the novel is worth it if you can endure the first 25 chapters or so.
