“He was acknowledged by the racists filled with the ideology of white supremacists, and even some terrible terrorist groups in the Middle East supported Grid. It was an amazing phenomenon.” Wtf is this line, why is isis supporting grid is important and most importantly why would they ???

“the French person who called Koreans uncivilized because we eat dog meat! The French eat foie gras, which is far more atrocious! A pot calling the kettle black. ” Wtf is this, does author hates france ??.

““Everyone seems to have misunderstood. I’m not a victim of this patch.”<--- MC said after reporters were asking him about nerf of his power.

“Huh?”

The French journalist was embarrassed and the audience was agitated”<---- here why should the journalist be embarrassed and why is the fkin audience is agitated. It should be confusion right.I dont know if its tranlsation mistake, assuming its not, that just confused me, is this supposed to some comeback MC made.

Greed is definitely a jerk at the beginning. He changes a lot. It's a relief because he's less frustrating, but a shame because his attitude often led to funny situations. Either way, he has his moments, but this is a "what happens" story more than a "who he is" story.

Same plot as dozens of other things. Guy in debt who is obsessed with a video game turns his life around by getting good at the game. In this case, a VRMMORPG, so it's like he has a second life in a fantasy world. There's a checklist of elements for those stories which are accounted for here. The story is about his 'real life, ' his game life, and the storyline of the game. It's more focused on the game. Within the game, there is questing, blacksmithing, just-talking, and fighting.

I skipped over this for a long time, because I thought a blacksmith sounded boring. I was wrong, those were some of my favorite parts.

Greed has important in-game relationships that get a lot of screen time. The plot has had some inconsistencies, but not so many given the length. It's obviously not a story with many surprises or much subtext.

The characters aren't deep, but with familiarity came affection. I like Greed's relationship with his "rival" Kraugel (my novel crush, I guess?) enough to be annoyed they don't hang out more. Faker the assassin is a sweetheart (maybe my real novel crush). Lauel is hilarious... or annoying... Regas the martial arts fanatic and his bickering with Pon are amusing. Braham <3 was a happy surprise as a character. By default, I am anti-harem and didn't find this one too bad. In this case it was a mix of coming to like the two women, as well as it not getting too much attention; Greed plays alone a lot. I ship Euphemina and Agnus, though I suspect it won't happen. There are many characters I enjoyed besides those mentioned here.

What I like about it is all about wish fulfillment. There's very little tragedy and individual crises are resolved quickly. Greed gets steadily stronger and more skilled throughout. The story delivers on any expectations it raises. There are conflicts, frustration, looming tension, hateful enemies, near and actual deaths, wins that lead to worse losses, etc. But the way it's handled feels... kind, like the story is working to make you happy instead of upset.

(You'd think most stories are, but oh man Korean fantasy romances can sometimes be brutal places dreams go to die. And there's also grimdark.)

It was simply on my wavelength most of the time. If I thought, 'it's been too long since the last blacksmithing session, ' one would happen soon. If I got antsy and ready for a fight, an opponent would show up. If I missed Kraugel, there'd be an update about him... and so on.

There are some things I hold a grudge about, though. Magic :- (

It's bad in an endearing way for me.

• The game company scenes made me roll my eyes, but I also started to find them funny. They're freaks who constantly spy on the players and know their most intimate secrets, but won't manage the game at all. The author has to be making them weird idiots on purpose.
• There are channels and news shows devoted to just this one freaking game. It's excessive. Current events within the game are reported on the regular news where they talk about politics. It's absurd. The government is super hot for Yura and Greed because of the game, but they aren't even actual monster hunters like in some stories.
• Greed becomes the biggest Gary Stu I've ever read. There are whole chapters where nothing happens except other characters telling him how amazing he is. Everyone is impressed with him. He's the most important person in the game and in all of Korea.
• It's so sappy. Lots of super sentimental backstories and quests. Mushy lovefests all the time because everyone cares so much for each other that they stand around complimenting and reassuring each other. Not just Greed gets this treatment.
• Greed gets rich, that's normal. But he buys more than a house and car. He becomes quite a landlord. A little extreme, but some MCs build their own towns, so. Afterwards several characters move to Korea and live there with him, just because 'why not.'
• People must have become able to read each others' minds at some point, I assume, because some later conversations went like this:

A looked at B and saw that B was thinking a thing. A knew that B might feel a way about it.

"It's not that thing you're thinking, B. In fact, it's something else."

B looked at A and thought something about A. B remembered the time A had done something. B thought that A might think of something unrelated from the past at this moment and wanted to help.

"A, you know that what happened at that time was such and such."

Some of it is bad. Silly dialogue, smug narration, awkward plotting, stalled arcs. Some chapters are cloying or boring. Those lovefests are too present in the later chapters. They're often terrible. There's one with Hayate that made me almost queasy, though I like Hayate... but now that I think back, I laughed quite hard at that. Still, it was not good writing.

It was fine mostly. But something happened with the translations of the later chapters. It became more awkward and hard to understand with more mistakes, for some reason. You'd think, since it seems to be the same translator, they'd get better instead?

I gotta. There are very nationalistic characters in this--but they are played for laughs! People clearly think they're annoying!

It's just about a dude who is generally satisfied with where he lives and with his own culture. And, like anything set anywhere, important things happen and important people exist where the novel is set.

Maybe the problem is when there are international competitions? I mean, nations are relevant to international competitions. It's my understanding that gamers do have international competitions.

It feels like this could be better without the VR part. Players talking about enlightenment, sword techniques, magic calculation and whatnot ingame is just bad.

The company of the VR game has a no-involvement policy in-game but they give out in-game rewards of the highest quality materials for the IRL national competiton. Like wtf.

The way Grid treats Damian though.

Specially love Piaro. A sword saint candidate who became a farmer that could fight with farming techniques.

Lord the grid son is supposed to be Overpowered Characters, but the author forced it to soon. On LV 40 and 4 years old and only in first Stat advancement he fight with 2 unofficial ranker that has LV 300++ and have epic class or rare class and third Stat advancement.

Logic that is used in building game system :

1. Every 10 LV different has effect to reduced 10% of total damage did to you if your LV are higher.

2. Total Stat have higher value if the advancement is higher. For 1st Adv it's said that every 1 point in stamina give 10 Hp, for 2nd Adv it give 20 hp, and for 3rd Adv it's give 35. Other stats also follow this rule.

So, how the hell an attack from LV 40 Lord can treaten and hurt Black and White whom have 200++ LV higher than him. It's so unscientific...! And Crazy.
