It starts to focus more on the individual players and how they interact with the world. I care about the protagonist's interaction with the world he made, as well as the world's own development and its reaction to the protagonist who is their God.

However, when the players start interacting with the world more, it gets harder to find enjoyment to read, especially when they themselves are not suitable to be protagonists. It sets them up to have a great impact on the worlds they come into and make them seem extraordinary, but in reality, (and this is an annoying trend that whenever these players run into trouble, be it the threat of a virtual death, which wouldn't actually kill them IRL, to just being in trouble) they cry and complain and bit*h for help online for the rest of the world to help them, which it does. There is no player who has a stroke of genius or has the strength to surpass these obstacles in their paths. There is not a single compelling player I enjoyed so far once it started to move away from them just developing Spore monsters, because the players are shitty protagonists for their stories. The only time they were enjoyable to read about was when they were just developing species, because it actually felt like they were intellectual while being the comedic breather for the world's development.

In the end, the world the protagonist creates and the beings in those worlds are far more compelling to read about, such as Gilgamesh or Medusa. They have actual stakes to their challenges and adversities, ones I hope they surpass, but I cannot say the same about the players and their misadventures.
