The problem with the MMO themed stories is that I believe it's one of those things were, at least for some of us, it only works once; since a lot of it is just "novelty" and little else. And once the novelty is gone it's mostly just salty nostalgia towards bad memories, along with the bad taste that this is literally "fantasy oroboros" genre so the main character can pull a giant penis sword out of his ass at any point and there are barely any rules to prevent that, which makes things dull—both from a lack of anticipation and a lack of expectations.
A world where anything and everything can exist on whim isn't very exiting, since if for example a big dragon comes then that's no big deal since a bigger dragon can just come out again, and then a bigger one; and story mechanics wise that's encouraged, because it's a MMO. I didnt read the synopsis so dint actually realize what I was reading in the prologue, so it was all at least a bit enticing, but as soon as chapter one starting pouring the "greatest MMO" divel, everything that I had just read faded to junk.
