## My Thoughts on What Kind Of Newbie Are You?! They Said That “Summoner” Is A Terrible Job, Yet They Call Her The Last Boss This title grabbed my attention with its quirky length and promise of an overpowered female protagonist. I dove in eager to see what kind of gaming shenanigans awaited. While the journey wasn't perfect, it definitely had its charm. ### First Impressions The initial chapters hooked me with the classic "underestimated class becomes god-tier" trope. Johann, our newbie MC, stumbles her way into becoming ridiculously powerful, and the absurdity of it all is initially very entertaining. It's a lighthearted power fantasy that doesn't take itself too seriously, which is refreshing. ### What Works Well The novel really shines in its exploration of MMO culture. It felt like a love letter to those of us who grew up glued to our screens, forging friendships and memories in virtual worlds. The different character archetypes are well-defined, from the hyper-competitive Zecca to the idol-obsessed EnjouP. Each character brings a unique perspective on how to enjoy an MMO, and their interactions are often hilarious and heartwarming. I particularly enjoyed how the story emphasizes that there's no "right" way to play a game, as long as you're having fun. The lack of a harem or unnecessary romance is also a major plus in my book. It allows the focus to remain on the gaming aspects and the characters' relationships with each other. ### Areas of Concern I can't help but feel a little disappointed that the author decided to remove access to later volumes. It's a shame, as I was invested in seeing how the story progressed and how Johann continued to defy expectations. This also means that the story is incomplete for many readers, which is always a letdown. ### Final Verdict "What Kind Of Newbie Are You?!" is a fun, lighthearted read that celebrates the joy of gaming and the importance of friendship. While the limited availability of chapters is a major drawback, the initial experience is enjoyable enough to warrant a look, especially if you're a fan of OP female protagonists and quirky MMO settings. I'd say give it a shot if you're looking for a feel-good power fantasy with a unique perspective on gaming culture.
