Rating (1-9) 5 (Okay)
A gamified fantasy. Kizuna enters a Virtual MMO where he plans to spend his time on the side game of fishing. Joined by two quirky fellow players, they set off to cross the sea.
Before going on, I will confess that this isn’t a genre I normally read. So take my review with a grain of salt. The writing is acceptable. The characters are interesting and not overpowered. They comprise a fishing specialist, an HP-draining Ninja, a fan-wielding frontline fighter, and an inarticulate shipwright specialist. The frequent display of player stats is better than others of this genre I have attempted, but I could have done with less. The MC is tricked into cross-gender play, which is needlessly intrusive since the author does nothing with it, except allow creating an all-female party. It’s a needless gimmick that I doubt will satisfy people who enjoy gender-bending novels.
The novel isn’t something I would pay for, but as a J-Novel Club member, I can read the prepubs for free, which helps space out more interesting items and spares me from buying other light novels.
