I really really want to like this novel. It is well written and the characters aren't too bland even though they don't matter at all in the next arc.But there are some key problems that make it impossible:1. The second short story (simulated life) within this novel is a festival of cliques and not interesting at all.2. Face slapping is a sport and while the MC doesn't always take the first opportunity to do it, it will always happen in the end.3. There is no red line, no overarching goal for the MC to achieve.4. The system by itself is reducing any stakes to almost nothing. I don't mean for the author to add something stupid like, immediate death or destruction of the soul, but there could at least be monetary losses or some kind of debuffs. 5. The author drags on and on about unimportant stuff, skipping chapters is sometimes the only way to still gain a modicum of enjoyment.
