As for the game itself, it seems to be your cookie-cutter Korean grindfest, with no balancing at all, secret classes that give the lucky few a ridiculously huge advantage over their peers, hidden and undocumented game functions that exist mainly to make the OP 'high rankers' even more OP, and developers who don't seem to do anything besides being baffled by and fanboying over the MC's achievements.Īs for the actual game systems, it is a combination of stats (which can be raised by leveling up or by doing certain actions, such as training or reading), titles (which are gained for certain achievements, such as completing quests or killing a certain number of a type of monster), and classes (which are tiered, with the highest tiered ones being unique and absolutely OP). More or less your standard Korean VRMMORPG setting, where even though the game has only been running for a few months, everything in the real world seems to be revolving around it. Not only that, because of his compulsive reading actually giving him extra Wisdom stat points (the main stat of mages), he becomes horrendously OP once he actually begins leveling, which slowly draws the attention of NPCs and player guilds alike. He gets roped into trying out a new VRMMORPG, where he continues his obsession with books, which, by sheer coincidence, allows him to gain access to one of the absolutely broken secret classes in the game. Not stories, just the act of reading itself. The MC is an introvert who is obsessed with reading. (Because some people check it anyway and it ruins the story for those who hasn't read to that point yet.) < slow pace makes some people forget.įor people who complain about the weird execution of VRMMO, well it's fiction. For example, the MC could make a seemingly s*upid decision but if you consider the original goal of the MC, then it actually makes sense.

Since the pace is slow, it's harder to see the characterisation and people can easily get lost in a subplot and lose sight of the original motivations and goals of various characters. The author likes to repeat things and describe scenes in Multiple POV. Reader is a good novel but it has a slow pace. Hi, I'm the current translator for Reader.
