The story can be summarized thusly: Main character is a top tier gamer in his game. Like every VMMORPG main character gets stuck in VR world. Main character is given overpowered abilities every five-ish chapters and uses them poorly. Combat is slow and unintuitive. Information written into the book is forgotten by MC almost immediately to make scenes more tense, but just makes the “top tier gamer” seem like he’s clueless of his games mechanics.
The town building bits are summarized thusly:
“Oh no the have a problem building the town” MC
“Here is the solution” other character
“Wow that is so smart, basic, and intuitive. Why didn’t I think of that?” MC
