I had heard a litte buzz about this show so I was cautiously optimistic going in.
The first few episodes were decent enough as long as you didn't stop to think about... anything.
However at around halfway mark it introduces 'plot' and it really takes a turn for the worst.

The animation and backgrounds are good and somethies great, although the pacing is mostly terrible with really really bad editing: Things happens with no real flow between events.

Sounds and music is decent, even though the music during actionscenes are very malplaced and not fitting what's going on.

The plot is weak and I hesitate to really call it a ... plot, random things just happen to push forwards. If it wasn't based of a Lightnovel (I guess it is?) I could definitly see this being AI generated.

Characters are also not very well constucted and mostly one-note while still being undeveloped. The character designs are decent to good on the supporting cast, but the MC is really weird. Some anime clearly shows what kink the author has and for this one it has to be femboy 'cause the 10 year old male child has weirdly wide hips and often blushes with a lewd face in conversations. I don't judge but as it is a 10 year old it does look bad...

Worldbuilding is almost nonexistant. There's a clear lack of understanding the world the MC lives in and it's rules, especially for magic is barely touched upon.

---Spoilers---
As mentioned about the pacing, it's quite slow especially in the few fights in the show, with the MC more often then not seemingly just taking his time doing f-all while his (mostly female) allies takes a beating. This comes across as the MC being quite unlikeable.
Pretty much the entire second half of the show consists of fighting the one bigbad that gets introduced at the same time and it is so so slow and boring fight, Had it been condensed into maybe one or two episodes with some better editing it would have helped.

The worldbuilding is terrible handled combining with the sudden appearance of the big bad guy. Demons seems to wear human bodies like skinsuits. Dark and kinda novel idea. Horrific really as the host's mind is killed in the process it would be an interesting concept for summoning in demons to this plane, but that's not how it works, the demons just live on another continent.

Here the show falls into a pet-peeve of mine. Balancing.
Greater shows make an effort to have balace in their worlds, with the MC being the offset to the balance, but with a threat still fitting in the world.
like "Reincarnated as a slime" - Lots of superpowered individuals, but they counter each other so that noone takes over the world.
In this show we're shown how terribly weak humans are against even weaker demons so when the bigbad shows up and shows that he has power comparable to a small nuke it begs to question. Why haven't he taken over the world ages ago? Why wait until now so that the MC could stop him. Yes he did gain teleportation power recently, but that wouldn't be neccessary when you could just travel to a kingdoms capital and BOOM.
There's so many shows that pulls this tired and dumb trick to try to create an obstacle for the MC but doing so breaks the world.

Breaking the world. The MC is reincarnated from being a peasant in the same world so it's not an isekai.
However he's a weak peasant with no magicpower being killed by a noble of some sorts that brags about how magic can only be strong with noble bloodline and whatnot. Setting up an underdog story like "Misfit of Demonking academy" about how noble blood doesn't matter.
But nope. He gets reincarnated as a 7th son in a noble family and has strong as F magic when newborn. Proving the point that bloodlines are what counts so no moral lesson there, just 'I'm better then you by heritage'
The show never explains why he has this god-tier magicskills, no blessing from the gods or anything.
This fits badly with the soundtrack that goes all electric guitars and drums and bass in action scenes but it just comes across as tryhard.

One fun thing with shows like this is too see the supporting casts reaction to the MC strength, but in this show he conceals his power strangely well so there's not much fun there either.

It's not the worst show I have seen, but in the end I would have been better of not watching this one.

It started kinda quirky and fun with the first episode but unfortunatly soon became evident that it was not a very good show.
It does the isekai premise into a gameworld like so many other (and better) shows with nothing new to add.
Backgrounds and absolutely beautiful, but all characters are done with quite bad CG making them stand out like a sore thumb.
The CG is also for some reason often done with low framerate (especially noticable in the first half of the show) making movement very jerky and unpleasant looking.
Storywise it's nothing extraordinarily but the pacing and editing are sloppy and things happen out of the ... blue with not much of a setup earlier. It's got a general dumb feeling to it that really gets dumb at episode 11.
Music and sounds are there but forgettable bland.
Characters are also very bland and generic, probably due to the limited expressions of the CG. Literally just finished watching and can't tell what the MC's name was.

Spoiler and ranting.
While I do enjoy the start with the MC beating up the goddess for being a deuce, It's weird how the world its supposed to be treated.
The MC starts murdering a whole bunch of townguards (which happens in games sure) but at the same time even the goddess refers to the world as a mortal world.
The show tries really hard to sell the game aspect but only at a very surface level, missing a really obvious joke when a USB needed to be inserted.
In the end it's once again a show where a fun-name don't really add up to anything inside the show. They use pause twice (maybe thrice?) and never checks for any walkthrough nor abuses gamerules more then a few moments.

Insultingly bad.
First episode started allright, but soon devolved quickly into garbage of the highest order.
Death and wounds are automatically healed due to mcguffin, except when done with a special weapon.
Yet they keep treating death like it's more then a slight nuisance.
Right there most of any tension is gone.
And the villain is one of my most hated tropes, the nigh unstoppable force. (With the special weapons that all the badguys have ofcourse)
It always ends up with the question why? why havent this evil brat taken over the world long ago when her skills seemingly are so far beyond everyone else.
Until it's revealed MC is leagues ... above her aswell under certain very easy conditions. So she pretends to be strongest, while being weakest yet still strongest. She can't lie and has exceptional meak demeanor most of the time and shrugs back at every little threat, making it impossible to believe she'd be able to fool anyone. Also dumb as a bag of bricks.
In the end, it's just a show of a weak vampire girl being bullied and beat up time and again.

The conflicts in the show feels really really really forced.

Every other episode takes a dive down into complete trash with characters supposedly dead-killed a couple episodes back suddenly retconned into spent time in prison and now being freed.

Second villain is almost worse, having the power to alter memories she should be near impossible to stop, yet still being a good part of the plot and being forced to help a terrorist organization.
She's being turned to the good by the power of a few words (of course). And beaten up a bad guy conveniently forgetting her amazing memory altering powers.
The third villains were bland but still stronger then anyone else appearantly. When they revealed their trumpcard being 5000 zombies that were weak AF it was just laughable.
Most of the badguys got a bit of background showing them being bullied, like it's some tired attempt of feeling pity for piece of trash people.

The last two-three episodes were absolutely terrible but atleast the pain is over now.

The few fights in the show are some of the worst I have seen in a while. Guess it fits the overall competence of the writing.
They held out with a swimsuit episode until episode 9 instead of in the middle of the show so that's a bit unusual.

I don't know what studio has been doing the art, but for some reason the MC is given elf ears, and often placed distractingly wrongly far down her cheeks.
Besides that there's nothing thats stands out. Music tried hard but often conveys the wrong tone for whats going on.

Boring and pretentious.
The show does not have a traditional MC but instead chooses to follow different more or less unlikeable godlike characters around as a backdrop for a tournament and a war between two factions. For some reason most of the godlike characters are visitors from earth, but that's really not given any explaination nor does it really come into play in the plot at all.
A war between factions with individuals that's singlehandedly capable of destroying entire cities or even alter reality at whim is a silly idea and when the cities are utterly destroyed they seem shocked about that outcome.

Around episode 8 some ... of the characters starts duking it out, Quite boring fights but atleast most of the fighters are unlikeable so it's a weird situation where it's just fine whoever dies. Hopefully both.
There is a very Zack Snyder-escue feeling that the show does not give one single shit about the regular people of the world, and only focuses on the godlike beings running amok.
The world is given little to none detail and two mayor cities seems to be at walking distance between them

Unfortunatly some of the deucebags came out unharmed.

On a technical level, Animation is decent, with better then average details on characters and backgrounds.
Music tries to hard and ends up entirely forgettable.
Sounds are decent enough and the CGI is not atrocious like some other shows.

Such garbage.
Bland characters in a dive-MMO premise thats dumb as f.
One life per user, in a gameworld where players can kill eachother and permanently remove people from the 'game'
With opponents with increasing and increasing omnipotent powers not clearly defined (Which would break any and all MMO's) in the gameworld they play it's just completely uninteresting since they can pull anything out at anytime.

The story was kinda nonexistant and mianded around with no clear path.
Art style and sound was ok, nothing horribly bad and nothing memorabe. Cant even remember the themesong five minutes after completion of series.
The characters were kinda dull and very childish for being ... 'adults' with lots of problems and petty jealasy, and behaved rather dumb in many situations considering the situations they were in.

While the premise of dead-girl-being-alive-still-in-the-mmo is not really unique, it definitly is squandered here as it's not really developed.

Started out kinda fun, but at the end it's turned into pure cringe garbage.
Main characters seems to devolve into less and less of human beings, making dumber and dumber decisions to the point the 'girl' is acting like a super spoiled 9-year old having a tantrum. Especially weird since the show makes an effort to tell they are both adults in their 30's. (which could be a fresh take since it's often very young MC's in anime, but this is never touched upon for anything)
Show also pulls out the super tired trope of a sudden superweapon that the kingdom has for some reason, seemingly powerful ... enough to be unstoppable (If not for MC's)

Wow, This is bad.
Absolute dumpsterfire of a "plot", nothing makes sense when taking a moment to reflect on whats going on.
It has many similarities to that horrible Isekai Cheat Magician in that it just gets worse and worse as the 'plot' progresses, Albeit not as awfully done animations as in ICM.
Combining that with the premise that it is supposed to be a game, It's gotta be the worst game in history in terms of balance.
A mostly fantasy game with gatling guns, mechas and Metroplex's cousin from Transformers.
The battles, especially towards the end, is a slow drudge filled to the brim with long trite dialogues.
By ... far the worst MMO/VRMMO themed anime I've seen.
