- Characters are vivid, each motivation is rather clear, their personality also interesting.
- Comedy is funny whenever it's present.
- Friendship and camaraderie (which usually kind hard to find with supporting characters become more like assistant, or MC is a lone wolf). In here they actually go around together adventuring.
- World-building is interesting. The backgrounds, values, and cultural difference between species, users etc felt vivid.
Cons:- War strategy kinda weak despite being a war novel. MC especially felt meathead with how weak he is in battle tactics. I know he is an orc, but he was also a veteran and I was expecting he would be a bit smarter.
- Things felt super bleak, and MC felt almost like the only light and the right one.

- MC powers up rather quickly, typical the blessed one script.
- Lacking small details here and there that could take it to the next level (including plot holes), while some things are dragged out with repetition. This also reflected in the total chapters because if expanded and the details are not lacking, I think it could easily reach 300+.

Overall, it was a rather fun read but felt lacking at the same time. The tone is rather dark and bleak view towards humanity. Compared to similar ones that I read before: Praise the Orc is a bit better than Seoul Station Necromancer, but lacking compared to Chronicles of Primordial War and Regressed Demon Lord is Kind.I mean, if you get to play a realistic VR game, and there is no law there, would you be a criminal that do scams, provoke war, do things like r*pe, plunder, etc? I am also sure there are plenty chill good people, and some of them are strong (like the user that gathered in Chesswood). It's just the author always put the focus on these bad users and MC barely interacted with other good users even though he could. He could have formed an alliance for the battle to the north but he didn't (if he had partied up earlier, they all could go to the north with him). Instead he prefers to have those who can only live once to risk their life instead of users who can revive. I seriously doubt MC's brain sometimes.
Ex. His sister playing the game as an elf, and he wanted to protect his sister. But he picked an orc that has a starting point pretty much halfway across the continent. If he really wanted to take care of his sister in the game, wouldn't it make more sense to also pick elf and spawn in the same town so he could help her ASAP? Another one is when he was trying to chase the Thawing Balhae Clan. I just thought it wasn't a logical decision to just leave as is instead of chasing them first. Lo and behold, they made a comeback and this time stronger as they merged with a stronger clan.... How does it make sense to be around the locals during north continent when he need to disconnect every few days, and it was during critical time like the war?
SSN was also about war, game, and bleak situation, but that was even more compacted. Not to mention some of that was taken for romance development.
CoPW is just simply good, with complete details (though translation kinda failed in later stage) and imaginative world. It also has wars and rather similar with tribes, shaman, etc. I think it was better because the MC was smarter and unlike Ian, really used his modern knowledge to help and use the abilities he have at his disposal depending on the situation. The world law is more logical too.
Regressed Demon Lord is about adventuring and has rather fun character too. I think it did a better job at balancing the good and evil.
