Kaede Honjou has never been much of a gamer. So when her best friend, Risa, ropes her into trying out the hit new VRMMO NewWorld Online, her biggest concern is…whether it will hurt! Her solution? To dump all her stat points into defense! She may not have anything in the way of magic, agility, or strength, but her extreme build transforms her from a total noob into a nigh-invulnerable walking fortress the game’s admins never accounted for!

Kaede has never been much of a gamer, and her biggest worry about a hit new VRMMO is whether it will hurt. Her solution is to pour every stat point into defence. That is a wonderfully silly premise, and it is funny because it is so earnest. The series treats her cautious build as a legitimate strategy, and that tone is what makes it work.The comedy lands because it is warm. Kaede's earnest caution and the reactions of the people she meets keep the chapters bright. The game's systems are explained enough to follow, and the gag of an invincible newcomer is a fun twist on the VRMMO formula.The weaknesses are clear. The defence joke can repeat over a long run, and some game mechanics get explained at length. Readers who want high-stakes combat may find the tone too sweet.Recommended for fans of light, cheerful game comedies. Enjoy the sturdy heroine and the easy laughs.
