After reading more of this... I think the author doesn't play social MMOs and just knows them through other popular series that have MMOs. Explains why I loved Necromancer Survival, which is mostly a game interface but not explicitly a game, but didn't care for Netkama Punch, which is actually in a game. They are far from the only author who doesn't actually play games, but idk these are just lacking something that I can't identify
