Forced plot.
He played this game for 13,000 hours. Meaning even if he played this game without food, sleep or even a single moment of rest it would take almost a year and a half to reach that. Obviously he played a lot before he had to eventually just down the time to 'just' two hours a day.
There are a ton of negatives that always appear in novels with this setting. This one is great because it minimizes the negative impact of those traits. MC is realistically immature and in over his head rather than being completely braindead. The plot is interesting and consistent. The word padding comes across somewhat naturally by overly focusing on irrelevant details rather than by being repetitive and destroying the writing quality. The comedy doesn’t override the logic and overall story structure. There isn’t a harem (faux or otherwise) and friendships are made for not-superficial reasons for both sides. In a gigantic pile of terribly written novels (like shadow hack, super gene, etc) this one manages to be not bad. Without the setting expected drawbacks this would be a fantastic novel.

What was the intended meaning here?
Everything is the author's plot. I agree that spontaneous contrivances suck.
