So in this story, our boy Syun starts playing this game called Only Sense Online, which is a VRMMORPG with lots of skills known as "Senses".
It'd be a regular VR story, except for two things: (1) the game gear scanned him and pegged his gender as female (plus his own typo turned his name into the more feminine "Yun"), and (2) he picked Senses that nobody else would ever pick, all in the name of being the best support character to his sisters and best friend.
It's a cute story that focuses on crafter roles in the MMORPG world over the usual vanguard battlers or the battle support roles, though as per any immersion game protagonist Syun gets pretty OP with his useless skills. There are some battle scenes because you can't get materials from thin air, but be prepared for scenes of Syun monologuing while deciding what ingredients to mix together and in what quantities with which method (y'know, Synthesizing vs Alchemy).
The story is really light and easy to digest, and content is pretty clean. I don't love it, but I do like it: it was pretty fun to binge-read the series in between the more intense ones I'm following (like Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, Overlord, and Rich Player).
Am fully intending to continue with reading, and maybe request for copies at the library so it can be brought out for mass borrowing sessions.

This book was not the best. The characters that are made and as well as the main character in the story all seem to have no motivation except for playing a video game. The people there are essentially cardboard cutouts of random tropes and nothing more. However in this book, they do a great job of showing fight scenes and progression resulting in us knowing the characters more on a statistical level, but we can not understand these characters on a personal level for instance we know and can calculate their strength but we are not able to know why they do it.

*Note* This is the published edition of Only Sense Online and there are things that were added and taken out from the original Web Novel.
Only Sense Online is a nice new take on the recent VRMMORPG genre rise. While other VRMMORPGs are mostly about surviving or the front lines, Only Sense Online goes in a different direction and focuses on the supporter roles.
The story revolves around a high school student named Syun who is roped in to playing the latest VRMMORPG, Only Sense Online, by his childhood friend, Takumi. He finds out that both his younger sister and older sister also play the game as a Warrior/Paladin and Mage respectively. To help out his two siblings (and as well as Takumi) he decides to play as a supporter and ends up choosing all supporting/crafting skills. However, to all the other players, the skills he decided on are known as "trash" skills and he struggles to keep up with the rest of them.
Syun, who is now known as Yun in-game, continues with his "trash" skills and ends up leveling them and discovering new techniques that others didn't know were possible. Because of this he ends up becoming a unique supporter who catches the eyes of many top players.
The main cast are all quite loveable and cover a wide range of classes. The pace in which Yun plays the game is a nice and relaxed pace that is reminiscent of anyone's first mmorpg days. Despite there not being to much action (as Yun spends most of his time trying out new crafting techniques) the game system is interesting enough where you want to know what new things Yun will discover.
Overall, Only Sense Online is a fun read and is a series I will definitely be continuing with.

看人玩遊戲小說版
這本是我看過描寫遊戲的小說中，算是相當接近實際遊戲的
所以在閱讀的過程中，不時會想起以前玩網路／網頁遊戲的時光
然而小說本身相當平淡無聊
--
感覺作者太小看遊戲廢人這個詞
有的遊戲是睡覺時輪流代管、想出繁瑣的操作換來較高的產出
有的遊戲是則是練出多個等級滿等、生活技能滿等、副本都打滿的角色，還順便帶新人
不太有可能出現只有休閒玩家發現的遊戲機制

今天(2020/04/05)得知以前玩上萬小時的劍俠情緣三即將停止運營
有點感傷

Ohh look it's another VRMMO similar to LMS...why am I reading this again...why not. It's fun light entertainment to say the least.

At first, this novel seems like too slow for detail, but getting more interesting in every chapter
