There when MC created his game character, the game AI mistaken his gender and created the MC game character as a female.Our MC wanted to deleted this character and recreated it but he was blackmail/threaten by his older sister to not or else she expose his embarrassing past to the world.

Story so far:

• LN Vol 1: MC get drag into playing a VRMMO game by his best friend. Due to AI mistake, our MC is now a female character in game. MC selected skills he thought will help as an all-rounder support class but was later bash by his hard-core gaming best friend and little sister for selecting unpopular skills from the Beta era. Since MC is not a hard core gamer, he just continue on with his pace in playing and enjoying the game. MC test out his skills and experiment with all sort of stuff in crafting. MC meet other crafting player that later he befriend them as they advise him on many thing as experience beta player. Party play with his little sis and his best friend. MC is focus on crafting and earning money to craft more stuff. By the end of the volume, he bought a field so he can grow stuff he need to craft to sell them from the store on that field.
• LN Vol 2: Summer game event. MC and his crafting friend became a team in this summer event. It based on survival while camping and chance meeting with pet animal. Since they all craftier, they build a log house with bed. While doing this playing summer event, MC encounter many pet animal that follow him at first before going toward the other (his crafting friend). Encounter with his little sister which turn out they were have food problem as none of them have skill for this event. Near the end of the event was when Big Boss vs players. Player get to keep the pet animal they encounter in this event. Our MC have a young fox and young unicorn.
• LN Vol 3: In this volume is MC creating new stuff with his skill and helping his crafting friend create a "crafting guild".
• LN Vol 4: In this volume is "Crafting Guild" event, Player Killer problem, and discovered a "raid quest" and a necessary material for revive potion at the same location.
• LN Vol 5: This continue where the last volume left off, where the crafting guild event kick off. Lot of back-stab and killing between Player killer. And doing the Raid Quest.
• LN Vol 6: A Fairy Event. Find a fairy and help their queen and get a wishes granted. MC did help the fairy but in the end he didn't have any wish so he set the fairy free. That fairy visit our MC from time to time.
• LN Vol 7: MC and hard-core gamer best friend explore new area. Climb a mountain and enter new dungeon. MC got scare out his wit due to "his personal fear" and the fact that he got cursed by the dungeon.
• LN Vol 8:  MC friend and family try to help MC out from turning in a in-game Neet that don't come out of his personal game store.

My Comments/Reviews/Spoilers are Based on: Web Novel up to: WN Ch 1-4 (Translated), Web Novel RAW Up to: WN Ch 146 (Google Translated)

Atmosphere: Light
Type of Game: VRMMO; Fantasy Magic and Sword World
World Setting (World/Backdrop Setting): Modern Earth (Real World), Fantasy Magic & Sword World (Game World)

Main Character: Male, Teenager. High School Student. Japanese Nationality (Real World)
Game Character: Human, Female
*Job Class: Summoner
MC Personality/Character: None. Beside knowing our MC like cute and fluffy thing, our MC don't show much personality and character.

My Comments/Reviews/Spoilers: Our MC (male) got force into playing a VRMMO game by his gamer (male) friend because he got an extra console for free as a beta tester. There when MC randomly created his game character, the game AI mistaken his gender and created the MC game character as female. Why didn't the MC deleted it and recreated his game character is a good question. Anyway our MC select "summoner" as his job class. Being ignorant and don't care when told so why summoner class is not well like, our MC just do his own thing. Our MC is a solo player and rarely met or see other player and/or NPC. The story mostly focus on our MC and his summon creature and leveling up and class up.

Story so far:

• MC as a solo player. Capture, tame, and summon them. Summon creature get stronger.
• 1st game event (battle between player), MC summoned rabbit got third place. A pervert won 1st place.
• More solo playing and getting stronger. Exploring.
• 2nd game event (city siege, player as defender), MC and summoned creature get 1st place. MC was told be in charge of POW NPC from winning game event. 
• More solo playing and getting stronger. Exploring. Asking someone to create a house so MC can summon all his creature to come out in the game.

MC Summoned Creature:

• Rabbit (Vanguard)
• Owl (Scout & Support)
• Goat (Defense)
• Fairy (Magic attack & support)
• Cat (Magic attack & buffer)
• Fox (Magic attack & support)      

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't want bash this novel but it need more work in my opinion. Such as creating a personality for the MC beside looking like a pervert who like fluffy and cute things. Or more character (player or NPC) that talk to our MC. Or have a character stick around long enough around the MC to know about them. Beside this as the reader (me) who have read more then 100 plus chapter already know by now that the author/writer like rabbit because of the after note and extra holiday chapter that have nothing to do with the story point that out. Which in turn come to mind who the real MC? the rabbit or the player (MC) who summon it? Yeah that just stupid but you understand this question once you read the novel.   

Overall it an ok read but the novel need more work.

MC Personality/Character: A nonstandard Japanese Character, smart, have a mundane personality but when thing need to be done he quite ruthless in his method (if your his enemy or target).  

Romance:
Our MC is dense, while there are a few female who are interested in MC. Other characters also got there own romance too.

My Comments/Reviews/Spoilers: Our MC and many other are trap in the game. About 10,000+ player (on Japan server) login to a new patch and update to the VRMMORPG game that they were playing. Rumor that other server from other country who have this game also experience this. Most of the novel focus on inside this game world, never said a word about the real world.

Herwe how the story so far:
LN vol 1: Get trap in the game, get use to the world, save a friend of a friend
LN vol 2: create a governing system to restore law and order for the player
LN vol 3: Part one: met the ruling body NPC (country)/ while the rookie player play & train at the beach

Atmosphere: Light
Type (Transported to Another World): A Video Game World where you can't Logout while playing (sort of)

World Setting (World/Backdrop Setting): Modern World (Real World); A Fantasy Magic & Sword World, Medieval. There are monster and other race (Game World).

Main Character: Male, High School Student
MC Personality/Character: A standard Japanese Character

Romance:
Family love but no romance love yet for the MC (not counting doting mother).

Character:
Oosuki Mamako: Masato's mother who doted on him and followed him to the game world. Equipped with the holy swords that does all-target double attack in normal attacks, activates one convenient skill after another, highly active. 40 year old but with the appearance of a 20 year old.
Oosuki Masato: A high school student who was transported to the game world as a hero. His dream of being the main protagonist in the game world and going on a big adventure was totally ruined by his mother that came with him. Main Character.
Wise (Game Character Name): A High School Girl who joined Masato as his companion with a certain objective. A philosopher that could use both attack magic and heal/support magic, but somehow had her magic sealed, a regrettable child. Her real name is name after some male host that her mother fancy.
Porta (Game Character Name): A twelve-year-old traveling merchant, female. Specialized in support ability including item production, appraisal and shop discount. Very precious to the party as the mental healing role.

My Comments/Reviews/Spoilers: Based on the "Volume 1" of the Light Novel.

Our MC is push into a game world that still in development follow by his mother. This game design purpose is for the mother to get along with their child and vice versa. This game is created and sponsored by the Japanese government. Now MC is both a player and a tester as in beta tester along with his mother. They could exit the game if they could achieve a certain goal of the game or (this is my assumption on this one) that the mother request it because they need to do something in the real world. This can be proven fact with Porta's mother who is stated to be too busy to come to this game world.

Anyway, after both MC and his mother talk it out after they enter the game world. MC decided they need companion to enjoy the adventurer in the game world. That where Wise and Porta join after MC's mother screen them. Well they went on some quest where our MC young man heart is disturb by his mother in many way along with his reasoning (as gamer, as her son, and as young men). Near the end of the novel, MC group face off with Wise mother who using cheat (hack tool). MC group won and Wise mother will be punish in the real world but not too badly by the request of MC and company. MC and company continue with their adventurer.
