Alright, this is a decent story. Extremely similar to The Legendary Mechanic, except the main character is all in all, a less competent version of the TLM's main character. My main problem with this novel is the constant POV changes. I've read quite a few light novels, and there is a very small number of genre's where a POV change every chapter or two works. This is definitely not one of them. There are far better ways to show the interactions with players and NPC's. In a lot of new novels, I notice POV changes are steadily getting worse, with MANY novels adding these in. Everything else is average. If anything slightly below average, due to how much of this novel seems very similar to TLM. Overall, novel would average, but the POV changes outright ruin it. Theres a POV change every other chapter, it's really annoying. Most people are going to skim through it, causing many readers to potentially miss important information.

The POVs disappear by end of arc one. They were important as I had to force out some info dump in the novel and make it seem genuine and I know people may not like it as much. But this is the folly of early chapters. There are zero to none POV changes in ARC two and the story is focused entirely on the MC.
