Ok /lit, before you shit on me for posting here just hear me out, i have nowhere else to go. I know you guys probably dont consider light novels literature, but i need help if any of you know what im talking about in the content below. A couple months back i started reading a light/web novel where the MC is a military veteran several hundred years into the future. Things happen and he decides to participate in a contest? In a virtual world. I remember that at the start he screws up and cant walk because he didnt put enough points into strength and that he grinds day after day for money and business transactions in order to get stronger. Its a very sophisticated type of writing style that im starting to crave recently, this novel has been clawing at my mind for quite some time now and if someone could tell me what it is id be very thankful.

it's not that i have disdain for you, it's just that i never read this sort of thing and can't help

The blogger talks about his own experience about writing a LN
Btw, the guy is fluent in japanese and actually translated a lot of LN. He also works for a couple of website, generally speaking, it's a good site, I don't watch a lot of anime, but I enjoy his stuff. He's self-aware while still being very passionate about what he does. Don't hesitate to search for more

Also the guy is really chill. If you're really passionate about writing that LN, you can probably send him an e-mail or something for tips. I don't think he'd mind.
Good luck!
