Being a girl and playing video games doesn't make you special. You aren't breaking new ground.

The Senior programmer for Ultima online back in 1992 was a woman. Gaming was never a "boys club". Stop making up shit just to be offended.

>this complete failure to comprehend how video games and MMOs specifically work

I can look past the generic artstyle, the fat and bland MC, and even the shoehorned "LOOK AT ME, I AM A GIRL WHO DOES BOY THINGS, WHAT A REBEL I AM" crap to be entertained by a fun story. If it's a good comic, the rest is just niggling doubts based on appearance.

What I can't look past, however, is this level of inability to properly show and detail a crucial part of the setting and story. This comic's comprehension of video games is practically on the level of "Urban Hellraisers" or "Super Mortal Phil", in terms of just how absurdly far-off it is, and at least those had the excuse that the visuals and workings of the games didn't mean jack-shit to the plot/episode/etc.

If you're going to show and describe shit that's integral to the setting and plot, which is usually outside your comfort zone of hobbies and interests, be really fucking sure you know what you're talking about before putting pen/brush to paper, or you'll look like an idiot in your efforts to describe it even if you're normally-brilliant. This is like a mechanics-minded guy who's never been big on the natural world writing a story about robots, then factoring birdwatching in somehow as the means by which his characters interact, except he describes "birds" as long squishy things that wriggle through the soil and "birdwatching" as the process of smashing them flat underfoot.

All this said, including my prior assertion that I can look past everything else, holy fuck is this loaded down with "fat college girl writes her first 2deep4u story" crap. Fat protagonist, way too much emotional investment in shit that's small or doesn't even matter, MC prone to weird mood swings in public with no context provided to close friends/onlookers, edge for days from certain "cool" characters, and more. It even lacks any scope grander than "fat girl talks to normal people in real world, learns life lesson", which is 90% of these comics.

This is the "Inception" of white liberal fantasy.

It had some interesting ideas, but it was really brought down by the author clearly not knowing how MMOs work, at least not very well. I've only played FFXIV and it was really nothing like this.

I'm also still confused by the Liza character. Like, who is she that she's just randomly invited to a class? Is she someone that actually worked on the development of the game? It strikes me as really strange that she would be allowed to basically encourage kids to buy a video game on what is essentially a dare in a class.

Well yeah? Try playing other games like LOTRO. Being in a tight community was fun. Some elements reminds me of like killing gold farmers (In UO heydays. They weren't chinese multiboxers though. Just people taking up resources and I was just being an ass because I wanted the resources). It's mostly a fluffed up story but I don't think it really matters except to hardcore gamers.
