I see it recommended a lot, and though I've read the books myself, I've never really gotten what makes it great to so many people.

In your honest opinion, what makes the series good for you?

Is it the fact that there is real life pain? (Which i find kinda ridiculous as there is always torture or crap happening to people and a video game company would be shit down hard after the first minor was tortured or hurt)

Is it that the main story revolves around them being streamers? (I kinda like that part)

Is it the chill attitude between MC and girls? ( like he is one of maybe three MC who doesn't have women fawning all over him and grew his relationship organically)

Or is that MC is another spellsword and the story is almost interchangeable with about any other with "Online" in the title?
