@monkey123, it's not even that given that this "genderswap" occurs in a virtual reality so this whole discussion about if it's CD/GS is really pointless to begin with. As i've read below supposedly the MC has a history of CDing IRL but it's not like this is mentioned in the manga, or at least not yet so perhaps the wisest thing to do is just to take it as a silly quirk and leave it at that, or at least until further developments reassure what was written in the LN.
Being said that I'm a bit disappointed because this very well could've been an isekai, and I know there are plenty of those, but I don't recall one that has some specific mention about crafting and stuff, I believe the setting could be adapted properly to that genre with a few workarounds. Unless the LN mentions about IRL events that would bear some consequences to the in-game setting there isn't to be excited about regarding the MC/family/friends interactions irl.
On a side note, this manga kicked in some faux nostalgia about asian MMORPGs that I didn't even play. Now I'm playing Ragnarok Mobile (Global) so if someone is playing hmu.
