くまクマ熊ベアー 1 — light novel — ch2/26
[At a glance] Entering the VR game he’s she’s sunk a year’s worth of real time into, MC (15 y/o boy) receives a super OP 5-piece outfit as a gift. The problem is that it’s a panda suit that looks kinda weird, he she can’t take it off, and he she also can’t log out or exit the game.

Ch1
I’m not sure how I feel about this yet. The prose/tone/voice is much weaker than 無職転生, but 異世界 prologues always kind of suck, so that isn’t bothering me yet.
I rolled my eyes at the “getting stuck inside a long-awaited VR game!” thing, but shortly after I thought that the MC literally voiced the same complaint, so it seems like the author is aware and along for the ride. That’s a good sign.
MC is apparently a genius and very self sufficient. So far this seems to be not to the benefit of his personality / he’s kind of bland. I guess we’ll see how it goes.
It’s a veeeeery easy read, which is what I want right now, and the different options on his 5-set piece of gear suggest some complexity to the magic/combt system, so I’m interested to see how he’ll make use of them.
Looking forward to reading, anyway!
Ch2-6
どうやら、全員まとめて相手をしないといけないらしい。
でも、デボラネ程度の実力なら平気かな。
戦闘は終わった。
あっけなく終わった。
I really apprecited this lol. Skip the meaningless fight scenes for me!
I haven’t quite made up my mind how I feel about this yet. It hasn’t sucked me in, but it’s kind of cute, and I do like the twist that MC is actually happy to be locked in the game, starts out super rich/OP, and is generally looking forward to leading life there.
The story so far is mostly dialogue and a very easy read.
I think I see myself happily finishing the first book / arc, but probably don’t see myself reading the whole series.
