The writing is solid. Good grammar and almost no typos.However, there are few problems I have with the story. First of all, the protagonist himself. He's, for a lack of a better word, boring. He doesn't have a solid goal; he's just drifting. He does want to earn money, but he's not super motivated to do that either. He already has as stable job as a salaryman, so he doesn't need to earn money in-game. There isn't even a major plot line as far as I can tell. So the story is not character driven nor plot driven. It feels more a slice-of-life, but there is no feel-good or enjoying-life moment. He's just grinding.Maybe it will change later and I need to read on, but it's really difficult to stay invested if the protagonist himself is not invested in what he's doing. There's nothing to root for, no overarching mission or goal.This type of story isn't bad, but not my taste. Maybe it will fit better for readers who enjoy a loose storyline, and with emphasis on completing small missions rather than big quests.Secondly, the focus seems a bit off? The title and the synopsis makes it seem like the story will focus on his development as a Halo Paladin. However, the focus is on fishing and cooking. The first few battles are skimmed, and a boss battle comes around ch 15. Everything else is just him fishing and cooking.
