As usual, he picks a weapon that no one else uses because it's too hard to do well and, surprise surprise, it's super easy for him. Any stat he abandons will be covered by equipment or skills he's "lucky" enough to get just when he needs it. He'll find secret quests that are tailored for him and areas that are perfect for him to hunt in, all by accident. Don't forget all the BBS chapters that will talk about how OP the protagonist is. Oh yeah, and of course he'll almost entirely playing solo even though he's a DPS class because why would you want to have a group in a MMO?

There was already an event on MC's 2nd day of playing which I think is too hurried or maybe because author just wants to exaggerate the LONG RANGE=STRONGEST concept. Because here MC can one-shot players because they are all level 10 or below so armors are usually useless and low ATK can still kill. And of course after the event the rewards maybe this is the author's target all along because he couldn't make up a story/quest for this skills he forced the event so MC can get this skills as a reward.

By chapter 19 MC already beat a dragon "SOLO" with his pathetic all-range build you can imagine his damage would really be low yet he can kill bosses just by kiting them, BTW it's only his 3rd day of playing.

Before this a tsun character (I think) sent him a friend request. She explains it messily as tsuns do. Those are his thoughts:

"Hmm... I don't understand.
But it sounded nice enough.
And so I would react accordingly."

This may seem exaggerated, but after a few times, it starts to get bothersome.

Trope 1: MC picks an ability or skill that's seen as useless but is actually op.

This also happens to be a very popular isekai trope, which isn't a surprise because VRMMO stories tend to just be isekai stories but the author didn't want to commit.

Trope 2: The character just gets handed stuff.

It's one thing for an isekai story, but the fact that it happens so much in VRMMO's is a bit frustrating. It was pretty dumb when I saw it in that shield girl story, and it's still pretty dumb here. Now, fair enough the author tries to excuse this by saying full set armor is just a thing that you get when you beat a hidden boss, but cmon, that's lazy writing. At least when it's done in isekai, you can claim that it's a gift from important in world character.

However having it be a drop from a monster is just peak lazy. Anyone who has ever played a game knows getting the specific item drop you want is extremely rare, but getting a drop that specifically benefits you and /or full set of armor? Yeah whatever.

Trope 3: specific to VRMMO's, the: MC becomes super famous on a forum board.

You see it in pretty much every VRMMO story, so it's not surprising to see. The author uses it to drop foreshadowing or to hype up the MC. Which isn't bad, but it's uncreative. The dialogue is bland, but it's just a plot device so whatever.

Trope 4: Bows are useless. Same as trope one, but I've seen this in a bunch of light novels, not just vrmmo stories. To be frank, it's ret*rded, now my rant isn't specifically about this light novel so feel free to ignore this.

Bow and arrows are one of the oldest weapons to be invented. It goes back to the stone age and was used all around the world. How in the heck are you going to make a story about people thinking it's useless or dumb? A dude literally went into WW2 with one and kicked ass. England had it so you were required to own one and train with it for hundreds of years. Why do light novel writers use this trope? Where is it coming from? It boggles my mind!

Trope 5: this kinda ties in with the "having stuff handed to him" and "bows are useless" tropes. "It's hard to use so people don't bother with it" trope is just... What? OK yeah, being able to hit a moving target takes training, and yeah in real life it would probably take you a couple of weeks to actually get good enough to use it in a real setting, but so would swords. Like, you do know it took knights training from a young age to properly learn swordplay, right?

So saying that, why is it that the MC can use bows just fine? That doesn't really get explained, though to be honest, even if it did, it would probably not be a good excuse anyway.

Trope 6: game takes you real bodies physique into account but this somehow stops being the case at some point when it's convenient. Doesn't seem affect other people either. Did fat neets stop existing in the future? Do only fit people who would normally have a social life play this game? Who knows.
