    I really love this story and while it has some forgotten tidbits of info here and there, the world and characters especially Maria feel very diverse and pretty alive (except poor zack or whatever his name was).
    The game in this story also feels like it has unlimited potential in what a player can do and I really love when characters in these kinds of stories aren't really limited in what they want to do (even if there are consequences lol).
    Like when I started this story I didn’t expect Maria to wipe planets from existence or wage war with super advanced magi tech to conquer a planet but when she does do these I can’t help but feel exhilarated while reading something as cool and out of left field as what she does sometimes.
    Overall this story is just a blast to read and you are pretty much guaranteed to have fun unless you are a giant stickler for inconsistencies.

    I've been following this novel sense it was on web##ol and can say it is a fun read if you are into gaming rpg novels
    When I got into this I was just going to read and probably forget like most novels ( over 3k at this point tho it is also just mostly 10 character with 500 words) but this is in my top 100

    Best MC ever! I love how often she behaves differently, sometimes cute and clumsy, sometimes angry or depressed, and sometimes full psycho mode. She's not one-dimensional and because of it interactions always feel fresh and new. It's first time I read about MC with such diverse character.
    There are some inaccuracies in plot and system (well, a lot of them), but it doesn't make story any less fun, it makes it even better, because author can do a lot more things thanks to that. MC couldn't use portal before but now she can? Who cares, now you can have action scene in new area thanks to that. As long as you don't care if all the stats are correctly calculated or how skills sometimes work in different way, you will have a lot of fun reading this. I wanted story about cute and little crazy OP girl in fantasy world and I got 1000% of that.
    Would love to read more stories like this one, when author sometimes bends the rules of the world to have more diverse world, more exciting fights and more unique main character!

    Best VR game book I have ever read this year or any year prior. It keeps the reader engaged with the story and the main character to a grand degree. If there is any book I an introvert would recommend it is this book right here. Ps keep going please

    Opening: For anyone who loves litrpg, this story is full of crunch, every level up and power increase is done in a satisfying way. This story employs humour throughout, and it has some interesting progressions. Personally, I just binged the entire book so far in a few hours off and on. And, it looks like the author will be continuing forwards with the book, so I am excited to see what's to come in the future.
    Style: The style throughout the book has been consistent and great. It mirrors other VRMMO light novels in some aspects, but still has its own unique characteristics
    Story: There are clear arcs throughout, giving it a clearcut progression. Although it is focused on the main character's progression rather than the story behind everything.
    Grammar: Almost always perfect. There are a few moments where it may go a bit off, but it is still completely fluent.
    Character: Currently, all of the characters have been shown to have their own backstories, and have clear personalities. Although the story is mostly focused on Maria's own changes and growth.
    Overall: An enjoyable story. Definitely recommend to either binge or read in your own time just like I did.

    This is an amazing book that needs to be read. Alter is a great author who is constantly active in his discord. I am currently rereading the book. There is not much else to say other than that this is a great book that really needs to be read. Maria is literally the best angel someone could ever hope to be.

    The sory starts really good and I had a really good time reading the story goes a littel bit down when she founds her faction because in my opinion the npcs are not really interesting and the action quality goes down but it gets better again after she comes to gaia
    The story is a good action adventure and in the kingdom building part dosen t fit really
    I really like this kind of story

    The story itself is quite refreshing but the characters can be damn annoying ngl. Id still recommend reading it but not if you want a serious, realistic series.
    MC is a clueless, naive, entitled brat all at the same time. She reminds me of that 1 really stupid henchman in every movie; no brains, just murderhobo. Be prepared for her to just click "Yes" on every choice without ever thinking of the consequences.
    Despite this rant of mine, the story is decent, would probably recommend.
    Pros:
    Good world building
    Well designed plot
    Interesting system
    Fun and original twist on the overused SAO trope
    Cons:
    Braindead "UWU-Girl" MC who treats everyone like shit
    Meh grammar
    Unrealistic character reactions/choices

    So first and foremost the story is good up until the tipping point of chapter 60. If you're looking for a light hearted MC rampaging through the game and lucky into unique skills then you'll adore it. She's is intelligent but not very wise or aware and is a lot of fun to watch bumble her way through quests, play with her friends and advance like a weird monster.
    ...61+ changes. I will go into more details in a spoiler but the story gets dark; needs the traumatizing content and sexual content tags in my opinion. And yes this puts me off because the MC is a high schooler and we know middle schoolers play as well so this came out of nowhere for me. But that may be a me thing.
    The vampire arc starts with her casually getting molested for ten minutes while she submits to a vampire biting her. Then she's forced to watch a rape cut scene from a viewers pov. Here I hoped it would change for the better but soon we have her forcefully blacklisted from her faction and system kicked from her guild. No longer able to play with friends she crosses worlds, starts her own faction... And turns into an abusive slavemaster. Literally. The story isn't bad but it really feels like a different story from 61+. Its also treated as light hearted and silly.
    This puts me off, Especially since Mary seems to be a minor, or at best 18.
    The writing is still good and I'm sure many will like the darker tone but for me the sudden genre shift and loss of playful innocence turned me off of it. Best of wishes to the author tho, they've got good talent..I read 17 chapters hoping the tone change was temporary because I enjoyed the story up till that point.

    Sexualising minors is not okay, ever.
    The story start out fine, just- yeah...
    The story of the vampire arc starts out with the MC getting SA'd and literally brushing it off with "if you were going to do that, you should have at least made me moan" or something along those lines.
    She's then forced to watch the SA of another character through visions/flashbacks.
    I have no idea why I even kept reading past that point, as it happened in the same chapter, but I figured maybe it was just- a mistake, wouldnt happen again, or something (dumb ikr?).
    Anyway, disregarding the enslavement of a bunch of people, the author goes on to write a pov insert from the perspective of a freaking literal child washing the MCs (also a minor) body while, again, sexualising both of them.
    I am so done, omg. If you read this, take my word and just- give this story a skip...
