Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.Monster Soul Online.
A virtual reality MMORPG known primarily for one thing: there are no rules. It is a lawless world where humans can shed the masks they wear and unleash the cruel beasts inside. It is in this very world that our story takes place.
After our protagonist, Sila, is defeated in a match that was in no way fair, he is forced to venture into this world after his master goes missing. The only clue? His opponent from the duel, Montra, says that he kidnapped Sila’s master. Outside of the game, they are but two young men in a vast world filled with many kinds of people. Inside Monster Soul, however, Montra reigns supreme as the Magic Emperor, one of the top four players. Sila, on the other hand, is just starting out, and he has a lot of catching up to do if he wants to get answers from Montra.
But not everything is as it seems in this world, and what starts off as a simple journey to find his missing teacher turns into a quest of previously unpredictable proportions. Sila uncovers a world beneath the reality he thought he knew, filled with martial artists capable of incredible feats. From the legendary Tiger God to the peerless Sword Prodigy, Sila will learn about and even meet some of these figures that other martial artists both revere and fear. His quest will push him to his limits and bring out both the best and worst parts of his inner self. His light and his darkness. Whether he makes it out while retaining some part of his original personality or not, only time will tell.

The Slime king is actually a player/staff
The MC is passable as a 'likable dense protag'.
He surrounds himself with a pretty solid support crew.
The story development is acceptably entertaining, though pretty linear.
Some characters are a bit interesting. The BAD:
The MC is pretty dumb, and would be nothing without his sizable plot armor. He does dumb things. He should die repeatedly. Not a point of ichor, desire, or hate- he seriously just does dumb shit. This is at a 'writer trolling' level, as the MC does (immediately explained as bad by the author) stuff all the time. He's a grown man-child, stumbling around, and 'lucking' into progress repeatedly. and not dying, ever (ch 117 anyway).
Also, when I said 'He surrounds himself with a pretty solid support crew' earlier? Yeah, not exactly- they pretty much just 'flock around' on their own & pretty much just decide to 'be friends' & hang on. Seriously there's a 'We're your friends, dude.' chapter.
The plotting is often very forced. For specifics, see *any chapter*- but overall, 'something the MC need?' (yes) (next chapter) 'opportunity to progress toward the thing the MC needs!'.
All characters are fairly 2-d, and many are shallow plotting devices- most notably acting as a particular agent involved in the 'secret' hidden behind everything.
I don't even want to get into the relationship between the 'nothing' MC, and the 'Top character' 'main villain', and every different power, social, ally, etc. dynamic- as it's a mess. The early chapters are the MC looking for him like he could somehow beat him or something (after getting hospitalized by him in 'real life'- it's ludicrous. The DIFFERENT:
Nothing, really. Like most VRMMO stories, the game system is a lazy knock-off, unbalanced rubbish system with hidden crap and cheats galore. Yet another novel that thinks that everyone important is also in the same area and knows each other/is part of 'the big plan' (or whatever).
I guess that some NPCs are played by players (instead of in-game AI) is kinda a thing, the barely significant.
