So What If It’s an RPG World?

My Thoughts on So What If It’s an RPG World?

Okay, let's dive into "So What If It’s an RPG World?" This novel is definitely a mixed bag, and my experience reading it mirrored that sentiment. It's got some real strengths, but also some glaring weaknesses that kept me from fully enjoying it. It's the kind of story where you can see the potential, but the execution doesn't always live up to it.

First Impressions

Initially, I was drawn in by the lighthearted premise and the promise of RPG elements. The idea of a protagonist grappling with the reality of a game-like world is always interesting. I found myself chuckling at some of the early comedic moments, and the unique skill system piqued my interest. It seemed like a fun, easy read.

What Works Well

The action and comedy are definitely highlights. When the story focuses on these aspects, it shines. I appreciated the laid-back nature of the main character, who, while powerful, isn't the typical arrogant protagonist you often find. The world-building, while not incredibly deep, provides a decent backdrop for the adventures. The "players wrecking havoc" aspect adds a unique element that kept me engaged. Several readers have also praised the leveling system, various classes, skills, races and abilities.

Areas of Concern

However, the novel suffers from a lack of focus. The plot feels disjointed, jumping between different settings and introducing new characters without proper integration. This can lead to confusion and a sense that the story is going nowhere. The romance is also a weak point, with the main character being frustratingly dense and the romantic interests often falling into tired tropes. The humor, while initially charming, can become repetitive and overbearing. The main character's power level also fluctuates wildly, which can be irritating.

Final Verdict

Overall, "So What If It’s an RPG World?" is a flawed but ultimately readable novel. If you're looking for a lighthearted, action-packed story with RPG elements and don't mind a somewhat chaotic plot, it might be worth checking out. However, be prepared for some inconsistencies, frustrating character decisions, and a lack of romantic development. I'd give it a cautious recommendation, maybe around a 3 out of 5. It's not a masterpiece, but it can provide some entertainment if you go in with the right expectations.
