Ok, you guys. This is not the usual hero and the story is not written very well, and don't get me started on the translation, which at this point has become my favorite main character of the story - it makes me laugh with the choices of words and fraises 😃😃😃. But, I am trying to balance all that with how addictive it is and how I just can't put it down! So yeah, literature this is NOT, but I am sure all of us have guilty pleasures and the story of Weed, the Legendary Moonlight Sculpture, is my new guilty pleasure for sure. So I am continuing on right away. If it was up to only my desire to keep on reading, I would rate it 5 stars, but content is way below that. It is what it is and I am going to enjoy it as long as I feel like it. Hopefully that stands to the end of the series 😎😎😎

Weed's army clashes with the legion of undead. The war is enjoyable and really enthralling. And in real life weed gets into a trap laid by his loving sister.

I'm getting baited, but I'll persevere. This series is shit, there is no soul, only deadpan eyes pulling the slot machine lever. The female lead got like 2 lines in total. This main character is so self obsessed that he is fapping to his own ideas every other sentence. Isn't winning all the time lonely? Well, maybe the grass looks greener when you've sucked at everything your entire life.

Notes:
A rank quest, hangout with buds, gradual expansion of game setting and shenanigans.

Edit: So I've read the first 7 books in this series and this review is applicable to each of those individually. I initially rated these 4 stars but came back and lowered the rating as that is simply not fair to the other authors whose work I've rated as four stars.
The story line and concept for this series is great and I have enjoyed each of these books. However, though the translations are decent, I feel the work suffers greatly simply due to the lack of a professional English translation as well as English editing and publishing process. This series has tremendous potential though. Unfortunately, at this point, what is publicly available to English readers is seriously lacking. I've read that there are plans in the near future to professionally translate and publish.
Each volume is relatively short (between approximately 350-390 pages), which is not a problem, but what is an issue is that each subsequent volume has a lot of repetitive information. Also, there's a lot of story that just didn't interest me (i.e. grandma and sister. You could probably cut out 95 percent of what has been said about them and still paint the same picture that has been created about those characters and their impact on the main character). Some of my qualms may just be a cultural difference too, so I can't judge to harshly.
I feel that the 7 volumes I've read so far, in the hands of a good editor and translator, would probably make a good 3 or 4 books. Potentially an amazing 2 or 3 books. As of now, I've decided to take a break from the series. There's a few books that have just been released that I'd like to read. Though I'm vested and interested in this story and its main character, I feel I should be more vested/interested after 7 volumes. By the way, there's about 40 volumes published currently. Approximately 20 of which have been unprofessionally translated by various people. Which, when you think of that, it's pretty impressive as it speaks to the overall love for the story as these translators are typically simply fans of the series.
Original: I've said this before, but I really enjoy this type of book. Now if the authors works would just be officially translated and sold. Starting the next one soon. I imagine I'll be reading these for a while if the translation quality remains at the level this book was or better. Thanks to my GRs friend H.P for turning me on to this read in particular.

(Review for Volumes 1 - 20)
Interesting adventure of a "sculptor" in a fantasy game world. Part of the story takes place outside of the game and both sides come together to drive the main character's motivation.
