Sky World

My Thoughts on Sky World

"Sky World" promised a thrilling blend of action, adventure, and romance, all wrapped up in a "stuck-in-a-game" scenario. After diving in, I found a story with some genuinely fun moments, though a few elements held it back from being a complete knockout.

First Impressions

The initial hook of multiple people getting transported into a VRMMORPG world was immediately appealing. It sparks the imagination with the potential for interesting character dynamics and world-building, and I was eager to see how the author would explore the MC's journey to freedom.

What Works Well

The protagonist's strength from the start is a definite plus for those who enjoy a confident and capable lead. It allows the story to jump right into the action, which it does with gusto. I found the fight scenes to be well-paced and engaging, and the world itself, with its sword and magic elements, had a certain charm. And with two girls joining the protagonist on his adventure, the romance is a good addition to the story.

Areas of Concern

While the "OP" (overpowered) protagonist is fun at first, it can sometimes feel like there's a lack of real stakes. I also found the "tsundere" character archetype, while popular, to be a bit overdone at times, leaning into predictable tropes. While enjoyable, the plot can also feel a bit straightforward, lacking some of the depth and complexity I've come to expect from the genre.

Final Verdict

"Sky World" is a fun, action-packed read that's perfect for anyone looking for a lighthearted adventure with a strong protagonist. While it might not break new ground in the "stuck-in-a-game" genre, it delivers on its promises of action, adventure, and a dash of romance. If you're a fan of the genre and enjoy a protagonist who's capable from the get-go, this might just be the story for you. I'd recommend it as a solid, enjoyable read.
