The art is good. The initial premise is acceptable.

But the plot and progression is terrible. There are too many potential variables. Too many options and directions for the story to take. No clear objective. No clear drive. No clear rules. No clear destination.

For example, the purpose is for the MC to clear bugs. Great, I can get on board. What is a bug? How do you identify a bug? How do you fix a bug? What restrictions are in place in the course of fixing a bug? I do you know if a bug is fixed successfully? What are the main obstacles?

None of these things are clear and none of the connections between side characters are meaningful in any way. It’s almost as if the artist or writer is making things up day by day which makes it hard to connect with the story overall.

What little fan service exists isn’t enough to keep me engaged. My brain hurts worse than reading a poorly translated cultivation novel.

The manhwa is not terrible, they clearly put a lot of effort in terms of art etc.

But.. the overall plot of DFO is pretty generic and boring, and MC is forced to follow it and make sure corrupted things don’t derail the plot. And that ends up making the entire thing feel worse. Right now it’s fine, but it will probably going to end up being a 5 or 6 out of 10 eventually.

It’s the largest “alright” I can give to a story. I like the setting the MC is set in, one which I’ve always thought of ever since I saw the “stuck in a game” type stories. Being stuck in an online multiplayer game while other players are still in the game. The execution is so lacking though, the MC is unable to fully interact with said players. It feels like such missed potential, I was already foreseeing an arc where players who entertained the MC’s realistic attitude in game pleading for help to get back to his real world, discovering he’s still in the real world, or something.

I like how the MC feels the need to eat despite never becoming hungry.

Other than those tidbits, the story itself is really basic. “Stop the corruption before it takes over the world”, y’know the gist.
