I'll be sincere. I didn't get that far into the reading, about 30% of the first volume (about 150 pages) so what I'm about to say is partial information.
The reading was practically unbearable. It has a lot of meaningless and unoriginal details about the game they're in, a lot of obvious information like "after walking around, they noticed that they got hungry. And after that, they realized that they had to sleep, too." Wow. I wonder how they got that far in life without knowing that.
Or "the guy with the full plate armor and the tower shield is specialized in defense, and the one in the robe casting spells with the generic magic staff is a wizard." No, you don't say! And he repeats everything at least twice, in case you didn't read it.
There are other mind-boggling aspects of the "game rules" that seem to apply only when it's convenient, such as food turning into mush if the cook doesn't have the "cook" subclass. Imagine that. You're frying some eggs and the moment the yolk touches the pan, bam! Black mush.
Or the fact that low-level monsters don't deal damage at all. You've got this giant ogre, three times your size, and his axe falls in the middle of your skull, but instead of cracking it's like an "elementary kid punch". I'd be very frustrated if I was the ogre, and very tranquil if I was any of the players that are super on edge. "Oh, no, no. Battle spells lots of trouble; what if we get surrounded, or if we don't have enough teamwork? Or what if we encounter a monster we haven't seen before?" He says it like three times, then the partner another two and the omnicient Superman, one more time. Dude. Chill out. You're invincible, like Superman. You can't even die, just bulldoze through everything and you'll be fine.
But he doesn't, he rallies his allies one more stupid and annoying that the one before, and from what I can surmise this will continue ad infinitum.
PS: I've heard online that the protagonist "Shiroe" it's a master strategist. That's a big fat lie. For starters he commands a very small group of three people including himself, not an army, so strategies are already a weird way to phrase it. Then it just consists of putting the most vulnerable unit in the rear (mistake, it goes in the middle of the convoy) and the most armored one in the front. Again, there's no rear or front it's just three people. Apply debuffs ASP on the enemy, which is a given, and then attack. Wow. What a strategist. Mehmed II would cower in fear should he face such a brilliant adversary.
