* QualityVersusQuantity: The most common conflicts between players in the story amounts to Yuri, who has raised his avatar and his allies with care, facing off against a much larger group of randos that have rarely, if ever, worked together before and just played the game for fun, rarely giving much thought to actually optimizing their builds.

* BlackComedy: The most enjoyable aspect of the story is seeing the elitist devs, who all went through an elite ivy-league college, touted as "geniuses" since they were old enough to walk and talk, but never had to work a day in their lives for it, and having no clue how to do anything other than academic theory, go totally postal because they made a VRMMO with a real-money-trade option, but never bothered to put enough money in the bank to cover players who decide to ''cash out'' their earnings and Yuri decides to cash out, after getting huge amounts of cash because he did something outrageous. It's also immensely gratifying to watch a person, or group of persons, go after Yuri and he rampages in response, cackling like a madman, and having an internal monologue where he genuinely believes he's the good guy, and has solid moral foundations to back that claim!

* {{GIRL}}: Uninentionally. Yuri is a guy who has a very effeminate face. The game avatar software went with Yuri's face and the "Random Edit" mechanic gives Yuri a very attractive and busty ''female'' avatar, which he's stuck with unless he completely resets his character, but that's just not how he rolls.

* {{Troll}: Of the internet variety. The reason Yuri chose the lackluster "Summoner" job along with the besmirched bow weapon and a luck-based character build is that internet trolls overwrote the ''official'' website to list that build is actually the strongest found by the beta testers, when in fact the devs and the testers found that to be the ''weakest'' possible build, but Yuri proves them all wrong, as listed in manga's chapter 1, when the InMediasRes has him go by "Demon King" Yuri and wipe out an entire arena of players, single-handed.

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: More like DirtyCoward can't comprehend SpiritedCompetitor. The devs go ballistic trying to ramp up the difficulty in Yuri's gameplay, trying to make the protagonist RageQuit, and the double standard is glaringly obvious, but this just makes Yuri more determined to beat them at their own game, which utterly baffles them. Because they're total morons and cowards who hide behind anonymity and software, never playing their own game or fighting their own fights.

* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: The devs, for a good while, could justify trying to nerf Yuri every chance they got, in the name of game balance, because he tamed dungeon bosses that ''entire guilds'' of players couldn't stand a chance against, due to luck-based victories and OneInAMillionChance mechanics, but when they decide to stop playing fair and decide to hire (in game) ''assassins'' with game mechanics and abilities coming from other VRMMO without warning, borrowing the latter's servers and software to make it happen, it alienates the entire fanbase, '''including said assassins''' and the assassins in question betray the devs first chance they get.

[[caption-width-right:350:If you're a man, you gotta see your decision through to the end!]]
Authors: Author(s) : Maji Manji , Aisako\\

Light novel released in the west in 9/14/2022. Manga released in the west in 03/22/2023.\\
\\
Yuri, TheProtagonist, is a very, very unlucky high-school boy, leaving him borderline suicidal in depression. Until he came across the VRMMO [[TitleDrop Blade Skill Online]] and used what he gleaned from ''the official company'' strategy website to set up his character. Unfortunately for Yuri, the game devs are brilliant programmers, but otherwise are complete idiots and left the website unsecured, so trolls put blatantly false information on the strategy website and Yuri's character build is set based on that information. Sick and tired of being kicked around in reality by his misfortune and bullies, he's not going to let himself get kicked around in a videogame too, so he's determined to make his luck-exclusive summoner+archer build the best in the game or burn out trying, and succeeds by finding some rather niche synergies and FlawExploitation. The devs, rather than use Yuri's success as a lure for the game, are butt-hurt that their incompetence and ineptitude is on display and become actively antagonistic, looking to tear down Yuri by any means possible, even if they trash their own game in the process, which only serves to fire Yuri up even more!\\
\\
Compare and contrast with ''Literature/BofuriIDontWantToGetHurtSoIllMaxOutMyDefense'' where the main character chooses a CripplingOverspecialization in defense rather than luck and the devs eventually become pragmatic and make the Main Character their mascot rather than their Designated Villain.
