I haven't even reached Chapter 7 yet, and I'm already struggling to continue. There are numerous issues with the setting and characters that bother me. The story feels incredibly detached from reality, even within a fantasy context. Characters should exhibit relatable behavior, like being human (logical, emotional, or empathetic), but these characters act more like robots or aliens. The author's portrayal of society after VR technology dominates is absurd - an EMP would render their entire world collapse, and I'm unsure how society functions in this setup.
The game itself is full of inconsistencies. A character claims to have played for four years, yet their stats, skills, and equipment remain stagnant. It's baffling how they expect old players to adapt to a transformed reality. When the protagonist regains consciousness, they instinctively chew on grass and taste their drool, yet overlook their gender change. This character lacks foresight, planning, and caution, displaying unusual behaviors like staring at butterflies and ignoring conversations.
The game mechanics are intrusive, forcing players to join a country with harsh consequences if they don't comply. This indicates a poorly designed "trash" game, considering it's received only two updates in four years, which might be a relief for players. The lack of technological progress for those trapped in the game for 30 years makes it reminiscent of "Log Horizon," where everyone is essentially primitive.
There are countless other problems, but ultimately, the lack of depth and immersion in the details is disappointing. Based on these issues, my rating would be:
2/5
Finding the concept ridiculous, I'd give it an even lower score:
1/5
