Honjou Kaede was invited by her friend, Shiromine Risa to play a VRMMO.

I don’t hate games, but painful things a little……no, I hate it very, very much.

Eh!…the pain would be reduced if I placed stats on defense power?

Then, the only place where I can place it, is there right? Right?

This amazing gem of a story is both well written and translated. It's the story that showcases the joy and laughter taking the lucky airhead girl trope to the extreme can bring. She completely breaks a vrmmo game where you get skills based on your actions by taking actions....... contrary to a normal thought process. Combined with her unrealistic luck it just kicks things up a notch. (P.s. I am one of those who don't mind a bit of un-realism in my fiction. It's fiction for a reason.)

This... more>> story has brought me more happiness, and times I've laughed till I cried, than ANY other novel I've read. <<less

I still have'nt started reading its LN but after watching its anime adaptation my interest got piqued & had started binge watching it. Honestly, it was not my cup of tea but the plot and the characters were amazing. I don't know how to explain it but it gave me refreshing feeling. Maple maybe considered as an airhead but you would'nt get irritated by her actions. Instead, you'll just have a good laugh coz every episode were so warm like it tickles my heart. Her innocence and ignorance makes her... more>> a lovable character.

plus, its the fact that she did'nt get isekai-ed that makes it more interesting to read and watch. <<less

The series starts out pretty well, with a MC who accidentally stumbles onto a broken build and becomes overpowered due to either being invulnerble or finding gear that stores and reflects damage.

Problem is the author tries to force the shield theme by introducing a 2nd MC saying she's a dodge shield which in the series is essentially someone who puts majority of her points into agility to dodge attacks. It completely ruins the whole premise of the story of being an OP MC with a heavy defense theme, on top... more>> of that the author goes out of his way to cripple the first MC by having the administrators of the game nerf her abilities. <<less

If you are expecting a serious MMO story with heavy plot, believe me this isn't your cup of tea. If you're into lighthearted story about MMO players playing game with absolute mechanic freedom however, this is definitely for you.

The story is basically a school girl being invited by her close friend to play a VRMMO. Althought she quite hesitated at first, she decide to hop in because why not?

The MC understand the basic of RPGs, but she doesn't have much experience. The game also stimulate senses, and she hates feeling... more>> hurt; leading her to become a great shielder and pouring all her initial 100 stat points into VIT (VIT in the game is basically defense, doesn't increase your HP. This alone already piqued my interest), leaving her STR, INT, and AGI at 0.

"Isn't that gonna screw her over?" She will eventually manage to find workaround and build her char (uninetionally) to the point she's considered as broken af and devs release patches just to nerf her! This is where things get interesting. The story is more focused on the game's mechanic and how each characters overcome PvEs and PvPs while each characters have their own unique build (especially minmaxers).

It sounds boring on paper, but some chapters made me laugh out loud when MC n' co constantly giving devs headache, while some chapters really put me on the edge of my seat; especially when big PvP events like guild war; where the characters will spy other guilds before event begins to know their weakness, while hiding their own trump cards to put themselves in big advantage. Some characters will deceive other players and spreading false information while pitting other guilds to fight each other. It's so damn intense!

If you are a game nerd like me who love playing games with interesting mechanics, which lead the characters in the story to do interesting things; while still being lighthearted and not taking itselfs seriously (can become serious at times, especially at PvP arcs). You definitely should read this. If you expect the MC to get isekai'd for no goddamn reason and getting involved into some weird life or death VRMMO situation? This is not for you.

Solid 5/5, awesome for a change of pace from serious novel (s) <<less

I see this as DnD but in a video game setting. Anyone who knows anything about DnD is that you can make absolutely broken characters. However, the game master usually change the rules when you do. Also I love games that have you getting skills base on your actions. So really like that as well. While they are some problems with the game, overall It no where near as bad as what you all making it out to be.

Hell the devs even fix what allowed her to be OP, so... more>> that no one else could do it. Because getting the absolute defense at the core of why she became strong. Without it she would have just been another player with a horrible build. That would have been completely useless. So devs change AI so you couldn't get that skill at such a low lvl. So without that skill no one could go her route again.

Now Devs arent as nice in real life, as someone who have made really uniqe and OP builds. They don't just stop new people from going down that route. They also nerf your build into the freaking ground and then fix is so no one can do it again.

So this is a what if they don't nerf it into the ground scenario. Instead set it up so no one new can do it. With this you get multi people with truly OP builds and then everyone else is just mobs basically that have no chance to ever be as good.

Which would be horrible in real life, as a story I really enjoyed it. <<less

3 star for this novel

I cannot understand some reviewers that label this novel as "mary sue" thingy. I suggest ignore those reviewers.

The first thing, this novel is actually fun to read. Based on some chapters so far, some people misunderstood that the MC Maple were capable doing of anything without trials and committing mistake. On how the MC was introduced, she was an air head young girl who was very much ignorant to a certain level common sense. In the mid chapters, she was facing strong enemy which could be... more>> said that any new players with the lack proper gears will make the situation really difficult. However, she manage to beat it and acquire a great reward with a low level gear. As to clear the misunderstanding on some readers, MC maple was actually a normal "Air head" girl yet her personal luck was actually high which her being able to beat strong enemy and getting rare things in the game.

The second thing is that the Asian Hobbyist Translation is not a good translator site due to the numerous translation of either not translating completely (some of the paragraph were missing or sudden jump of transition) and sometimes merely summarize a certain long paragraph which makes the story not connected with previous paragraph/chapter. <<less

Not the best story out there, but absolutely amazing in it’s own right. Why? Because it’s a very comfortable story that warms your heart as you read. If this story can’t warm your heart then either it’s not the genre for you or you can’t let go of some very minor details to actually enjoy reading. Give it a try if you haven’t already, just be sitting or laying down somewhere where you can relax

This 3 isn't because it's terrible. Honestly I straight up laughed out loud in places. It's more because in general the story is rather meh. There's barely any interaction with other players, or even people in general, so far 90% of it is solo or with her friend from school. Just feels like a missed opportunity honestly.

I will also confess I am a bit jaded with the mmo novel genre, so skill ups and new OP abilities bore the hell out of me, these type stories are at their best... more>> when the MC is doing interesting stuff with their existing abilities and thinking outside the box. Here it's a mixed bag. The MC is doing hilarious stuff with her abilities, but things move so fast that it feels like instead of mining the potential of existing abilities the author just tacks new ones on top as fast as he can.

But the beginning is freaking amazing, and various places are a blast to read. Mostly when it's Maple being Maple. But at the same time too many stretches just get boring. Honestly it kinda reminds me of Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear in humor, but not as fleshed out. Honestly this sounds like a pretty sh*t mmo to play, the mechanics just don't really work. <<less

It's not bad. It's kind of disjointed so it doesn't flow very well and makes it somewhat hard to read though. Watch the anime first, it very cleanly illustrates the story without having to slog through translations that don't flow very well.

A very light hearted novel. Just pick it up cuz the anime and maple is soo cute xD. Its a good time to spend time if you run out novel to read.

Ps for the current translator.:

Please reduce your "ads barrier" abit. I know you wanna some profit from this. But your ads barrier basicly block half my phone screen make it harder for me to read the actual content and kill my mood to read.

Finnaly I can catch up and read it in bulk chapter~

Well if you read it for relaxation and comedy plus absurd, this novel is for you. Of course you cant compare it to SAO, Author seems cant balance the utility of the game. What is MP and potion MP, and skill Mapel use, is very unrealistic for me. But I think Author just want to appeal people with what VVRMMO can do with max absurd.

Like how Mapel skill didnt have a limit in the first time and she can eat... more>> and gain skill very easy.

But from all of that hole, what I like is when they have guild war. I want that scene more! It was so crowded and exciting! Or maybe unite 3 guild to complete big dugeon or quest. Haha <<less

If this was an anime or manga, it could coast on being a moeblob VRMMO story, but it's not

Kaede is presurred by her friend to get into a VRMMO, and makes a character with *only* VIT to avoid getting hurt. Turns out that *can* work... if it happens several times that you stumble upon secret hidden skills unlocked by unlikely events or styles of playing. Around twenty chapters in, there's a pinpoint nerf just to make her less OP.

Lack of other characters, only delving into the systems of a boring... more>> RPG world and lack of anything particularly good makes the story bland and boring. It tries to be moeblob slice and life, but you need moe for that, and the blob is also lacking. <<less

Saw the anime, then the manga and then re the light novel ch1-416 using the links here. Then I went to ncode-syosetu-com using machine translation for ch417-461.

It's a interesting take on a VRMMORG with a lucky and carefree protagonist. If I had one nick-pick it's that at this point I have no idea what kind of level or stats any of the main characters have. I understand that a constant chapter by chapter update is not a good idea but still around what 250 chapters since a hint seems a... more>> bit much. It starts with a bunch of specifics on skills for thing like cool downs but as time goes on the author seems to have skipped that. I guess it does allow more narrative freedom but that might turn some people off reading it. I had a great time so far overall. <<less

Well... let's start with saying the real vote is 2.5

Asides from that, this looked like a really cute and funny light story from the synopsis... and it was. Till the friend joined in, at least.

The MC is cute and silly and does s*upid things which end up giving her OP skills. It's all in a funny way, however, so it doesn't become too much. Also, she becomes immediately OP but later on her skills get nerfed a bit so she still has something to do.

The World is not... more>> yet all that explored at the point I've reached. Although there are some ridiculous mechanics it's not really that important in this story as it is not meant to be taken seriously.

Thus, the only real bad point for me is the friend.

I mean, am I the only one who thinks so? She completely changes and ruins the MC's tempo and is completely unneeded. If she was only a normal side character it wouldn't have been too bad but she's practically treated like a second MC. The only thing she's really useful for is to explain a few game-related things to our MC. Oh and to carry her around but I mean, there are mounts for that. They'd be cuter as well.

Well, maybe this is only for now and things will change as the story goes on but I won't keep reading it. Not at this moment, at least. Maybe I'll come back to this later on and change my mind. <<less
