A Day Trip to Another World, a Journey of Self-Destruction
When I first read these, I didn’t think much of them. But over time, I gradually grew to like them. Some involve transmigrating into game worlds, while others are virtual reality gaming novels. Esports can stay off to the side; I’m not very interested in that. I wanted to choose science fiction, but that category wasn’t available...

The biggest flaw lies in the author's seemingly illogical understanding of D&D and related concepts. The fact that human (yes, human) arcanists are divided into noble lineages and commoner factions is something I've never heard of in all the novels I've read. It's ridiculous and shows a complete lack of understanding of the true wizarding world.
The author's writing style, plot, and pacing are all fine, but I just can't seem to get into it. To be honest, the content and setting of this book are quite appealing, and it's the kind of novel I like, but I often lose focus while reading and end up going back to the first two chapters to reread it carefully. That's the problem with the book; it's probably that the main plot isn't engaging enough and the goals aren't clear.
If arcane magic is learned through melee combat, then I can only say the author's thinking is... Well...
I don't understand why the author would say "Don't worry, this is a satisfying story" after the protagonist has already suffered so much. Even though you've explained it, the protagonist has already been through so much; do you really think anyone would be interested in your explanation? It's like slapping someone for having a mosquito on their face and then explaining that you have a mosquito on your face...
With so many Arcane books, the protagonist is incredibly weak in the early game, only surviving life-or-death crises. A mid-to-late game class with such a erratic early game, only improving through near-death experiences—that's a warrior, not a mage.
Well, I watched a bit of it many years ago, and I felt the system and world-building were pretty good, but the plot was terrible.
A filthy harem novel where the protagonist becomes increasingly depraved and filthy as the story progresses.
If you're going to torture someone, torture them to the fullest; if you're going to enjoy something, enjoy it to the fullest. If you're going to do something incongruous, you'll please neither side.
The protagonist uses mostly self-created arcane magic, but you lack the power and authority to speak on it. At least after becoming a legend, revealing these arcane techniques would face far fewer opposition. Now is too early; what good is knowing a lot if you lack the power?
Is the protagonist an idiot? How dare a weakling act so recklessly? Who gave you the courage?
