Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

No idea where these high reviews are coming from. The main character is a spoiled and privileged kid who has everything handed to him. They get legendary gear and thousands of gold for doing nothing. Then the drama in the book comes from him torturing and abusing what are probably a bunch of 13 year old kids trying to play a game and have some fun with PvP, but for some reason they are the bad guys in the story. The main character is supposed to be very smart but is in fact a moron. He defeats dungeons through obvious methods anyone would think of. For example, in one dungeon the boss keeps bathing himself in flammable liquid and the main character has the "genius" idea to set him on fire? Plus the boss is a demon and it's explains later in the book that demons are immune to regular fire. But that's the least of the inconsistencies. He's lauded for this and it talks about how dozens of other adventurers didn't have such a genius idea. The main character then has the brilliant idea that the king of this MMORPG should issue quests. Really? Quests in an MMORPG? Who would have thought of that? For these two genius ideas he's immediately given a guild hall, mounts, money, trade agreements, made a friend of the realm, advisor to the king, etc. It's idiotic. In another dungeon there's 20 sleeping monsters around an explosive gem and he thinks to explode it. Every other moron in the book is appropriately amazed. Starting from level 1 he's immediately more powerful then the highest level players in the game who have been playing for years after 3 days. He can explode their gear while they are wearing it through enchanting. He can open a hole under them and imprison them. Within 5 minutes of getting anything (like enchanting) he's doing the most powerful enchantment ever seen that amazes everyone. So there's no progression or anyone he needs to overcome. While the "good guys" all have overpowered and amazing skills, the bad guys in the story are all human and simply run at them with their arms out going "Arrrrgggg". The bad guys never once have any abilities or skills, of course. But what's really frustrating is that the book tries to explain things and most of it is them building things, yet the author knows absolutely nothing about finance, plumbing, construction, or anything else in the book. For example: They try to explain the company is privately held and then say the employees are paid through stock options, then say they have no stock holders they need to answer to.. uhhhh. The whole story of how they made their money makes no sense and should be skipped. They talk about how many people make their money from this game and how 1 gold is pegged to 1 dollar, then the characters go into a beginner dungeon and get tens of thousand of gold/dollars? So everyone is a billionaire in the future? He doesn't understand plumbing or venting or where water pressure comes from or how valves work.. just stop. He doesn't understand construction and creates things that would collapse under their own weight, suffocate the inhabitants, and collapse after the first winter. He creates "roads" lower than the surrounding land that would immediately get flooded with mud and be impassable. He doesn't understand how things like how ovens work and does things like enclose mobs in an airtight box and then burns them inside it, because obviously fire doesn't need oxygen or anything like that. Virtually ever sentence is the stupid MC doing something that makes you want to scream "do you know absolutely nothing.. that is wrong" The game play is inconsistent. At one point the MC kills a single level 80 character and about 20 of them gain about 5 levels each. Other times they go through a whole dungeon and don't level up at all then again, they will beat the boss and get a bunch of levels. Nothing is consistent or kept track of. It's just at the whim of the author. I would not call this an RPG book because there's no actual consistent numbers or anything like that. At one point the main character gives everyone in a village undying amulets that prevent you from being killed from an initial hit and then the author completely forgets about this and later, the villagers are being one-shotted by bad guys. The ONLY positive thing I will say is that the writing is not that bad. There are typos but he maintains the viewpoint, doesn't jump around and has good flow. I just can't give it more stars because the actual story is pretty awful.
