So, considering MC have become a Demon Lord (at least a level 100 endgame character), have built her underground castle, and there's now 2 global event in-game.
How long have it been since chapter 1 in-story time? 3 days? 6 months? 3 years?
The pacing is more on days or few weeks rather than months. Generally, an event is announced in advance, about 1-2 weeks irl, then lasts a week irl or 10 days in-game. There's roughly a monthly large scale event or update. I'm relying on rough memory and quick searching the WN so might be inaccurate especially if manga and LN say different times but so far the timeline is like this:
1)closed alpha tests (account deleted after test)
-unstated duration & number
>10yrs in-game fast forwarded then beta test
2)closed beta tests (account deleted after test)
-unstated duration & number
-Participants include Rare and Wayne
3)open beta test / early access (account gets carried over to official launch, still need subscription payment after launch)
-lasted around 1 week in-game
-story started here with Rare, Wayne, Gi1gamesh, Blanc and others playing. Unspecified for Nurse Yoichi, Sasuke, and others.
-after less than a day, Rare subordinated the catgirls, wolves and ants
-last few days, Wayne and Kerry as Rare partied together without exchanging friend cards
4)official launch
-1st server-wide event immediately announced to be after 2 weeks irl and lasting 2hrs irl but accelerated to 48hrs(changed later)
-Deas appeared soon after and got subordinated
-Kerry also stopped partying with Wayne
-2 weeks irl pass with more base-building, gathering resources, expanding territory and Rare experimenting skills like alchemy
5)1st server-wide event implied to be centered on Deas and/or Sugaru but because Rare subordinated them and controlled the whole forest, it got changed to pvp battle royale in a special teleported zone accelerated 6x
-only lasted a few hours
-maybe the next day, Rare confronted Wayne. He then spread info that "Rare" is a PKer with a secret way to get stronger from the Great Liebe Forest, greatly increasing customers for her dungeon.
-after maybe more than a week irl, Rare starts invading the neighboring forest of no return
-after maybe around another week irl, Rare becomes a Demon Lord
-after a few days more irl, 2nd server-wide event announced, unstated time before start but likely 1 week irl
6)2nd server-wide event(duration 7 days irl / 10 days in-game)
I somehow can't stop imagining MC being voiced by Hino Satoshi if ever this gets adapted to anime
At least imagine a girl's voice
Try Kobayashi Yuu as per the LN PV. She used a fitting deep voice.
