To be fair, countless things about games these days (WoW, for example) get changed, and not for the better, but purely because of community (forum) outrage.

You know what is the worst??? the fact which some "peoples" defend maple and "being a new player "because no one goes to where she goes because..., if a noob, could go to places where you have god tier stuffs ( and again some of the god tie stuffs where not supposed to be catch by the players anytime soon as the dev told themselfs but they still allowed maple keep then instead of take then off)

follow the "logic any "expert player at last expert like kirito would want to go to the top zones to get the better stuffs and goes explore if this is how this world work and not just "focus" in a single thing" like is happening where for a "unknow reason( wrting excuse) only maple and her team think in go to tha places again making its looks like "only maple" is "smarth" or more "carefreer" or whatever you want to call, to go "explore" the world while many top player wanting to get overpower are just doing the "same stuff over and over", again point me in real world any mmo where top players wold be so "dumb" to do that, top players are the "first want to explore" and find the best loot equipment of the game specially after see maple the most "common thing" would be the peoples start to hunt too and go to the places where maple go and hunt themselfs.

But the really big, really big and most stupid issue" still maple "main most overpower and destruticve and indefensable attack... the "EAT", why she is the only one "eating bosses"??? to get power ups, if the "eat animation can be used in combat why it is not "explained"????, this is supposed to be one of the "most basic info of the game, no game would let something "so important" to be something "no one know" and only maple accidently find out and keep "cheating using it, because for "dark/unknow reasons(plot "convenience") among all the game players only she knows and use it, you know "any skill or even the most basic stuff would come with a "info about what it does", not "hidden from players" i'm pretty sure which even "dark souls" is not like that which don't even explain what the player skills, weapons or powers or even animations do, come with total zero 0 info everything is in "blank" and you must find out how to do anything in game.

Basically in this serie "everyone not maple even her team in part" is dumb or have some "mental issues, because they never think in "go explore to look for more powerfull stuffs" and "only our "airheaded maple can do that.

I remember in one of the earlier episodes. Payne was saying there are plenty of unknown in Maple Tree guild. Fast forward to episode 12.. it is indeed a skill that is unknown to him that killed him.

Speaking of strength. There are other guilds that survived the event. There has to be some strong people there too. Not shown on screen due to lack of time / budget. As episode 12 felt a bit rushed.

well to be fair they surviving was part of maple tree plans, they wanted to make sure to be on the top 6 and only the top 6 will remain then they obliterated any guild under the top 6, if maple wanted they could had oblirated all the guilds they have more than enough time for that (the event was ended early exactly because of the remains numbers.

Wow, this is so insane.
I laughed so hard while reading the post one page ago.
That is what I call "complaints".

How far this madness can go?
There is an another season.
I skipped a lot of episodes though.
Stopped watching after episode 6 i think and watched again around the end of the final episode.
Just reading most of the summaries, coming here, and visited Myanimelist.

To be frank though praising this series to some extent feels like the biggest insult to those other Light Novels authors and Game Developers in real life who are going though hell to be the best.
Even though this series is not meant to be any offensive in a away that err umm many ways.
At least to me, i took this series in a sad ways considering I wish things in life to be this easy as just living a life for fun without any bad, not live your life because it is your task and duty being forced to.

Can we imagine, a story about a little girl just wants to have fun playing immersive VR video game, accidently becomes the strongest?
And first thing some of us do is complain about this.
But now, i rather wish if our alives are only about complaining about Maple Syrup because we just can't do this all day in real life, especially when most of us are supposed to stay home to stay safe from the Infection from the virus outbreak.

Sorry about the long offtopic post along the way, but these kinds of posts makes me feel better.
Right now, at least until we are safe, we can still argue about whether we want to "ban" Maple from the game for "hacking" or not, while ourselves being isolated for a while, well some might not.

Spoiler for Web/Light Novel:

Not sure if we'll get to this in Season 2, but the familiar system does become more available in the game. In fact, this system is a huge reason I kinda expect a fourth major guild to show up some time after the current event in the web/light novel is completed.

Seriously? That's like saying praising Konosuba is an insult to people who work hard to make good isekai stories. This wasn't meant to be that serious; sure, it was made to be believable and I do believe such a game could exist and survive, but it was ultimately meant to be a fun lark, not a serious examination of gaming culture or a high-tension story utilizing game mechanics.

Again, seriously? At this point, you're going to suggest some sort of misogyny on the part of the dopes who kept shouting BS? I may disagree with them frequently, but I'll defend them on this point: I am completely certain that not one of them cares one iota about Maple's being a GIRL who got strong. If you want to complain then complain about the fact that this story "had" to make the game "broken" for the girl to get strong. Though this too is inaccurate as, again, the entire point seems to be having a crazy-lucky dummy frolic in the game and accidentally stumble onto superpower after superpower, and by luck and sometimes planning manages to put them together to make a near-invincible monster.

Or have themselves get annihilated, in an attempt to get style points. Remember if the other guilds teamed up or attacked when they weren't at base defending, that's KO. I mean that's what Maple tree basically did. They went ham and back-stabbed every guild out there (Holy knights caught on to sally's plan, and joined in)

The point of Sally's tactic was to hit everyone so hard that last night, where every guild had:

1: No incentive to attack and every incentive to defend, due to dwindling numbers.

2: No guild including Maple's had enough force to both attack and defend at the same point, from there on.

3: Sure you can have 2-3 guild combine forces to take another out, but considering backstabbing, and friend-foe, friendly fire problems, who would want to.

Even if Guilds try to organize an honorable duel, which realistically would happen IRL, Maple is too happy-go-lucky to bother with it, even if no other guilds try to backstab on the opportunity.

[Twi]

Whatever happened to Maple's White Shield and Armor?

[The Green One]

Nothing. It's just criminally underused. Which is a pity as it fits her Serpahim look nicely.

[Liddo-kun]

season 1 is over. Time for a snack. :3

[VTHokiePride]

Due to the current state of the world, I was able to binge all of this within a day. Maple is crazy It's interesting to see how her non-gamer experience is turning the gaming world upside down.

Also, realistically speaking if you have no points in attack doesn't that mean you do 0 damage? The same goes for magic. Trying to wrap my head around how her character would translate to real life RPGs. I get some of the items could say they deal bonus damage on top of her base stats, but early on she was able to beat monsters with just her shield and no attack points.

[BWTraveller]

I think she has like 1 ATK or something. Pretty sure you're set with a minimum and then you add to that. It's still pathetically low and she generally only does damage through counters, alternate forms with their own stats, or eating (which I don't think technically counts as "attack"). But with perfect defense and resistance to ailments like poison, she can afford to just keep doing 1 HP damage until the enemies finally die.

Just finished this. It's funny, people are talking about balance and stuff and that didn't bother me but the one thing that made me wonder was the guilds with armies... who gets on an MMO and wants to play a cookie cutter nobody who looks like every other person just to be cannon fodder? lol

The named members of the guild are all unique looking and interesting, then you have the mob of nobodies that some poor saps have to play as. Talk about drawing the short straw lol Obviously the animators don't want to have to draw a bazillion unique players, so I get the reason. Just strikes me funny when you think about it as a real game.

Well (if it wasn't for transmog hiding appearance) the majority of WoW players for starters. A lot of MMO's have reached this (terrible) min/max mentality, where everyone may as well be clones of each other.

We have not seen any sign of any kind of Glamour system. Perhaps the developers left one out so you could recognize gear by sight in PvP? If so most of the big guild members are probably in the equivalent of tomestone (i.e. the best you can get without doing semi-hard content) gear provided by the guild.

I assume 'unique' type gear either comes from being the 1st to solo dungeons/etc, or you get it (mainly) from crafters (custom order).

The anime really doesn't cover how much 'stats' and stuff gear actually provides, and whether it scales with your character or what not. I'm assuming unique (solo gear) does scale, otherwise you have unique appearance that you can't use due to it become obsolete (which, would defeat the purpose).
