Hit It Very Hard

Description

When offered the chance to be someone else, to live as a fantasy character, people invariably gravitate towards a style of play centred on fancy maneuvres and flashy spellcraft that take multiple strategic steps to outwit opponents and win glory.

Why not just cut out the middleman with a large axe and be done with it?

It's not often that I find a gem like this on the new stories section.
The author is an excellent writer and it shows. Aside from two missing words in the first few paragraphs the story has absolutely no spelling or grammar errors till the latest chapter (Chapter 6).
The dialogue is pretty great, and the one info dump in the story so far is logically setup to be believable. The worldbuilding is pretty well done too and makes me want to furiously move to the next chapter.
Would definitely reccommend if you're into VR RPG simulation type novels.

This is a wonderfully written story.
The interplay between the protagonists actual and fictional characteristics are interesting and unique.
The plot seems plotted, which is nice.
The words are very much written good.
I like it!

This is a great story with a really good execution. The characters are well made, relatable and realistic. Combat is fast paced and fun to read.
Sadly it have two terrible problems. For reasons unknown, the author writes in present tense rather than in past. It's weird and off putting. What's worse is that for different POE:s he still uses first person. It's weird to me that such a talented author for some reason thinks that he and the reader have what it takes to jump between all these different I:s. What's wrong with the tried and true third person?
Anyways, give this a try, it's great. Just be prepared for the two problems. My solution is to simply skip 100% of the perspectives that are first person without being the MC.

This is my review as of ch.22 (it's also posted on ch. 22)
Alright, I'm caught up and gonna give a review of mine up to this point, in the same vein as @BoredNerdBooks.
I'm only likely to list issues I see by the way, the good parts lead to solid flow so they don't stand out. The bad ruin story flow and immersion.
1) POVs. You have to many character's PoV's. A point of view character should only be IMPORTANT characters, not random people. Also, something you seem to do for... some reason. You show the POV of characters around our MC's during conversation they don't hear... so the reader has access to information the characters don't. It's very annoying to read that.
2) You title and blurb. In no way, whatsoever, AT ALL. Is that story title and blurb appropriate for what this story actually IS. You have it listed as if he's a barbarian adventuerer off doin his thing, beating enemies with brutality and hulk, instead of flair and flourish. And that sounds REALLY INTERESTING.
Instead, we're getting a by the book, stock standard, "small town boy becomes an hero to save his village" story. With a potential damsel in distress. I can DEFINATELY tell you've read the Wheel of Time. The MC is basically Perrin Aybara. But asexual.
3) Women. You aren't doing the best job with your women so far. You have no female characters even slightly fleshed out, including the POV one. I do appreciate the MC not being super dense about the home town girl, and handling it at all, even if he was an absolute and unrepentant bastard about it. I mean, he publically humilated a childhood friend in front of friends and family... why? Because he didn't wanna ask her to step outside? What a fuckin prick.
4) VR stuff. It's great. But I see the writing on the wall with this. If you turn that asshole tech guy into "cut throat money douche who lets people suffer!" villain, I'm gonna be super disappointed. You had a great setup to the game, don't ruin it with forced melodrama in the real world. These are
