When there's nothing but worthless women in the book

Many such cases.

Wow. This got boring super-fast. But it's also super-short, so guess I'll finish it.

Whoever's doing this is failing to put framing together. It makes the action look sloppy, like a dubbing of a dubbing of a VHS, skipping in random intervals. Author's too in love with flashbacks and multiple POVs.

Like who is Satsuki? Why should we care about her? Did she attend a different school? Was she kicked out? Did the author really just try to squeeze at least two chapters worth of backstory+buildup into a half a chapter?

Also why's MC bothering with school if he's too terrified of networking? Why does he assume other gamers are default assholes when they, too should know An Ancient Evil™ is going to wake up and waste the damn planet? Are they really going to paint the other beta players as unexplained, unrelenting assholes with that plot hanging overhead? This book's confounding.

"We want to put our foot down and restrict you from making obviously-dumb decisions, but because of plot, we'll just seem half-assed and ineffective." They're better off not there at all.

She's bad. MC is far worse. They both deserve one another.

The younger brother had no brains. Naturally, the older brother wouldn't be any smarter. Nevertheless, instead of thinking in terms of a gamer, MC cowers behind that typical "not wanting to stand out" mentality. Pretty frustrating to read.

Invasion imminent

Think the artist forgot to finish the manuscript before they hit "send to editor".

That reasoning falls apart pretty easily by one fact you admitted upfront: Alternate Japan. If the reader's to assume a modern Japanese setting, there'd be authorities investigating the orc killing on what is a low-level floor instead of chalking it up to the bad luck of adventurers. Something so serious would not merely be written off, especially as there were witnesses to the sequence of events. Instead, it's more reasonable to assume the standard isekai flaw is in play: focus hard on the MC and the gimmicks and ignore the actual establishment of the setting.
