I'm thinking this game is more like Guild Wars 2. Focused on exploring the world and doing whatever random event pops up in that area, and others near you can participate (or not) to clear the objective. There aren't any "quests" persay. So this VR playstyle doesn't seem odd to me.
But I'm only on Ch 34 rn, so I agree about wanting to see the story of that game world. But it still doesn't bother me bc I'm not a big lore person anyway. I'm the type to never read the quest dialogues and just run straight to the quest locations. I wouldn't mind a playing a game like that. (I'd prob do lifeskill stuff more anyway. I hate dungeons)
For a webtoon about a video game there isn't really any quests and not much focus on the story of the game they're playing or npc interaction.
