this is a rather relaxed novel, there's been little action so far, despite what the genre usually indicates, have you read any of the popular VR stories? they always start with a lot of action, and usually never stop. This would go to a more slice of life story because you seem more focused on exploring the NPCs and the world building, wihtout enough action to make it easy to digest. try adding more action if possible (and if you want)
