Translator's Synopsis

Honjou Kaede is, invited by her friend, Shiromine Risa to play a VRMMO.

I don’t hate games, but painful things are a little……no, I hate it very, very much.

Eh!…the pain would be reduced if I place stats on defense power?

Then, the only place where I can place it? right?

Solidify it into defense powers very hard, Here I come!

It really hurts when the Devs nerf your special build after you spend so much time discovering, experimenting, and perfecting it.

Too realistic... no fun allowed...

At least its real in other game stories the Dev's are never mentioned and broken builds are are considered normal.

And, given how broken Maple's skill set is, it's actually a rather valid nerf. (depending on exactly how far reaching, I think the scope of some of the changes is wrong)

Maple needs to get a challenge too, and we can't have legions of über def copycats.

So because one person found a way to make the useless pure defense build OP you make the core skill of the build near impossible to receive. Nerf the attacking skills that are only even usable because of a broken armor set that you gave her. Then went even further to nerf every def orientated tank in the game which would make them a joke in PVP and less useful in PVE for their intended purpose. Wow IRL the rage and salt on reddit for such an overreaction by the devs would be amazing to see.

I couldn't get past the first chapter because the MC sounds so simple minded it crosses into retardation and I don't throw that word around at all. Should I just truck on?

If you come over from high action battle novels then you may find the laid back story telling boring. Try reading it when you are just chilling.

I'm always chill, I can and have read a laid back chapters of a novel right after a high action battle novel's chapter... my point still stands it's how the MC sounds like, simple minded to the point of retardation is the story and character interactions worth it to truck on?

I think it's easier to think of her as a complete newbie who doesn't know what she's doing. But her simple mindedness does taper off and, at times, provides her with an advantage. For example, in one part, Walking Fortress

Whether or not it's enough for you to consider reading depends on your tolerance, but she does show herself to not be mentally impaired in many cases.
