I’m still not entirely sure why I love this series so much—maybe because the hero is such a nice guy, maybe because there seems to be so many hidden quests and things in the game to make things interesting. I also like seeing how Yuto overcomes the problems and disadvantages he faces, and manages to succeed to thoroughly. There are a lot of characters in this book and I had to go back sometimes to previous volumes to remember who everyone was, but on a whole this was another really entertaining volume.

Still a must-read favorite for me, but I have to admit that Yuto's monologues and scenes of other players losing it over Yuto's cute monsters are starting to feel a bit tiresome.

The story became much slower now. There are nothing noticeable happened except the new pet, Drimo the Driller. Well, this online game story is one that I like.

Another laid back read

I'm still enjoying this as much as I did in the beginning. Can't wait for the next vol. Characters are cute and funny. If only gaming was like this today.

Fun stuff.

I really enjoy all the cute characters, but it can be a bit confusing now with all the minor characters.
