Joo SeungHo wasn't able to play Virtual Reality games due to having 'Hyper-Immersion Syndrome', which amplified his senses. But one day, a silver lining appeared for him— the 4th generation VRS machine!
He was overjoyed when he was finally able to experience virtual reality. While playing 'Lost Sky Online', he realized that 'Hyper-Immersion Syndrome' might have been a curse before but now is a blessing.
It's time for him to become not his normal self but an entirely new person.
[Welcome to the world of Lost Sky.]

Another one in the line of generic trash written by authors who have never once played a mmorpg in their lives.
Or maybe they have played it and understood nothing about it.
Forget understanding game design, if they simply copied the experience they got when they start a mmorpg it would still be a leagues better novel than the other trash surrounding the whole space.
Except, they don't do that.
Ask korean novel (or manhwa) authors and you realize that peak game design and enjoyment is from camping a stupid grinding spot at level 1 to hunt boars and other wildlife for 7 hours a day for multiple days in a row to level up to level 4.
Even putting that part aside there is literally nothing compelling about it. There is no conflict, no growth, the protagonist is bland. licking a piece of blank paper would give you more flavor than this. The reasoning for his strength too makes little if no sense at all. Im sure that later on there will be 'unique and hidden' classes just like every other generic trash.
yeeeah, i already knew after the first few chapters that this manhwa/novel wont be worth continuing but i read a little more just to confirm
TLDR in summary, generic mindless vrmmo trash by an author that has never played a game in their life or tried understanding game design.
4 out of 10 for the alright art and not giving me brain damage to read.
Skip it.
It's decently good and somewhat enjoyable
a simple premise of gamer with special trait of hyper-focus slice-of-life type mixed with a fairly relaxed VRMMORPG experience.
Doesn't stand out or make something new, is relaxed and simple.
So for me it's above average (>5),
lacking anything to make it interesting (<7),
ending up fairly decent (6)
