Quite a great story: nice pacing, well-written characters, no one is being dramatic and/or horribly dumb (except for idk, maybe the cultist). MC's personality is kinda mid but that is just him being a mature boring adult who has experienced the workplace before. He's still much-much better than most Korean male MCs in the market tho cuz he's truly emotionally stable, and author doesn't make his greedy/miserly trait as his personality, the MC still has some compassion.

The only downside of this novel is its minimal world-building. Things just happen without... more>> further context which doesn't make the writing more compelling to read. Things were only explained when it was convenient to be. Example would be the plants, the countries, the gods, none of them will be explained unless it was required for MC's journey, which is a bummer. So again, in this story, it's basically just things happen in MC (who wants to go home) 's journey, he solves it, he gets power-ups, rinse and repeat with author doing bare minimum context on everything else.

Still, it's actually not as bad as it sounds (I tend to be overcritical on the deficiency of the novel I actually like lol). The story is still good, a good way to describe it would be like a gentle river stream, very stable with little to no "oof", pleasant to enjoy while rowing a boat but who knows where it will lead us (hopefully to a more exciting and intricate plot so we can do some rafting).

My product review on this:

Very suitable to curb your webnovel addiction while you can still enjoy reading it. <<less

This is a great druid MC and makes the best use of his abilities. Very level headed and mature thinking MC, not extremely selfish nor generous but fair. Isn't all powerful but still strong enough. It does involve a lot of RPG progression story elements but in terms of equipment and skills not necessarily only level ups. Well-executed story with enough mysteries that make you intrigued to keep reading.

MC starts off as "wanderer, " then "mercenary" and builds up an assortment of titles just problem solving and adventuring. He gathers... more>> familiars and followers that have a butterfly effect to the story since most of his companions were main elements in the original story's quests. No harems or romance involved but a lot of teacher/student or parent relationships. He has knowledge of the game world but it's incomplete and no knowledge pertaining to upcoming events nor the main over-arching story plot.

Very enjoyable for an adventuring story with game elements, fun and easy read. <<less

This is up there with "I Became the Dark Knight in the Game" and "Barbarian in a Failed Game". In terms of concept and how well its executed.

You really do feel the premise right from the start, and a game druid isekai to a game world you do get.

The protag is smart, and greedy for money, but genuinely managing to do great things that get him respect.

He's a good protag for my tastes. I'm having a blast with it tbh.
