A nice little read, comedy heavy with insane grandma as the MC.
The grammar isn't perfect, thus my reduced score of 4-stars, but it's far better than the majority of absolute trash you can find even on this site (Seriously, who doesn't capitalize letters at all when writing, make conversations sound like bullet-point presentations of a summary of a conversation, and can't even get through a paragraph without trying to defy the linear nature of time by mixing up the past, present, and future tenses all within a single sentence? A lot of people... more than I would like to admit. The education system has failed hard).
The story is a fresh take on the VR Game scene, allowing the game to feel like a game (fun with some aspects of grind and reward) though it still seems to heavily reward the MC for being the MC (admittedly her backstory allows for these bonuses to seem slightly warranted).
The characters and world-building are nice, though admittedly it is currently lacking in growth, I attribute that to the lack of chapters thus far (only 27 chapters, or parts) and expect a more in-depth look into the characters and world as the story progresses. I like the crazy old lady, she has a charm to her that allows you to understand why her son would have such a happy/grumpy relationship with her.
Overall, I'm loving the comedy and progression. Might need to dial back on rewarding Granny for every move she makes (not literally every move, but far too many of them at this point) because it makes her feel like she's a bit too perfect or is getting unseen help from someone in charge.

This is, at last thus far, a very light hearted comedy, and is well worth the read. Perhaps eventually the story will show something a bit more serious, but even then, someone or something will probably make the situation humorous.
