I dropped this at chapter 25. Don’t normally drop novels since translations of Korean light novels are rare and I’m a big sucker for these types of VR stories and an OP MC with a mission. That said, honestly there are so many unrealistic elements of this story + flat characterization and honestly a jerk MC that I just can’t cheer for this guy. From the start there is this VERY weak “oh my family spent money for me at the hospital so I need to pay them back” premise, which is fine (Solo Leveling had it and I love the story), but this MC pays for an expensive gym using his mom and sister’s money for a few months.
Then he finally goes into the new VR game again and what does he do? Take sadistic pleasure at this one poor NPC that he keeps abusing, who has actually helped him, and is just being used by the MC as a meat shield, for no reason. Honestly he’s just an asshole. Then the plot deviates even more and he just gets more mercenary, and his cheat ESP skills overpower everything...there’s just zero struggle. He overcomes everything by his unmatched OP skills and plot armor.
Please don’t waste your time and read something else like Second Coming of a Gluttony. Now that’s a real MC
