Spoilers alert?
Unfortunately where my progress at (end of vol 2), author still keep teasing us at will they won't they find out about each other's true identity even tho they both voice call and chat a lot in RL already but the ML do get more and more suspicious with MC because of coincidences of them meeting up more and some happenings in game as well but at the same time already catching feelings for the MC albeit expressing it in a tsundere way cause our MC is kinda wholesome to him and his family (ML's family is funny as well like they are all extroverts but our ML is introvert to the point of avoiding going to school) so they are all over MC cause he managed to befriend our ML
So I MTL the novel because I couldn't handle the slow burn (rip fallen braincells making sense of MTL) but ohh boy brace yourselves,
I already finished finished vol 2 ( which could be equivalent to chapter 40-50 in manhwa based on my estimation only of the pacing) and we're still far from any romance, aka the slow burn continues. Its more like 50-50 ratio of their real life interaction vs in game interaction with the guild. But fret not, romance may stjll be far away from the 2 (based on my progress) but there are already a lot of cute moments.
Our tsundere ml blushes non stop and our clueless mc kept calling him cute (in a praising or amused way) ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
And altho the in game interaction almost eats up half of the volumes, they are still very much comedic and entertaining so still worth a read. Tho a small portion of them I couldn't understand much as MTL still cannot handle korean game lingo so the translation is awkward. I laughed out loud reading the later guild wars but I won't spoil so u guys can laugh at it too later (trust me don't spoil yourself on this one as i'm sure better english translation would add more to the comedy)
