It's a huge world, given its VRMMORPG setting, and Shin slowly progresses through these areas when he goes to meet up with his former "subordinates" from the game. I think there's a real tangible difference between saying a world has "elves, dwarves, beasts, etc." and actually going to each of the lands and visiting them. Characters:
Other than Shin, the depth of the characters are admittedly not very deep. We see their issues get resolved pretty early on, and the characters themselves (minus Shin's small party) come and go. But we don't actually CARE that much about Schnee or Tiera because they don't have a background that makes them relatable. The one thing I do enjoy more about this story versus others is that
there are other people stuck in the MMO like Shin, living inside the world for "years" beforehand. It's similar to SAO, except everyone in SAO were fighting to escape, while here it's already past that point of no return.
Like others have mentioned, it's slow but not as slow as, say, Ascendance of a Bookworm. I personally find stories like ATG, Zhan Long, TDG, and other wuxia novels very, very repetitive and too fast in terms of world/setting jumping. To compare it to other novels, I'd say it's faster than AoaB and less random/pointless compared to Overlord.
- If you like LitRpg novels. This is good stuff.
- If you think that in SAO, Kirito being trapped, even after everyone else is freed and Asura not being resurrected would have been a great twist. This story may be for you....
- Good fight scenes. Translators do a good job on that and the rest too.
- Some harem. kind of. so be warned.
- OP character. Yes. But very balanced against the need to stay secret. Think Superman having dual identity issues.
- Lolita yes. No touch!
- And lastly, if you didn't hate Overlord too much. This may be for you too.
Read on fair believers. I know I... more>>- No strong plot lines (practically slice-of-life territory) until Vol 6.
- Nice, but not great, enjoyable characters.
- Interesting premises, but it's not really utilized well by the plot.
- Overall: 2 of 5 (the lack of/poor plot really kills it) Brows the Manga if you're interested.
The Long: If you want to read this I would suggest reading the Manga. It's quicker and the only thing I found missing of note from it was the explanation of the game's reincarnation system which has no baring on the story proper. (IE A player who reaches max level... more>>One thing I really dislike is how the author so far in the story, still hasn't given a proper explanation on why the MC wants to return home. His NPC's love him and will miss him, he has made so many friends, yet he cares more about some characters (presumable friends, family, players he met in the death game) we havent been introduced to.
And the characters express how they dont want him to leave, but understands "thats just like him", even though the reader dont know why its just like him, because their relationship building happened before the story started.
