Yeah, one of the endearing things about SLF is that the author has clearly played a lot of MMOs and knows what makes them interesting. For example, a lot of authors would be tempted to add some melodrama to this current fight to up the stakes. Instead, it's just a lady with a dumb pun name getting over-invested in the lore, and relying on her idiot friends to tank good. It'd be fun thing to do in a real MMO, and it's a fun thing to watch in SLF.

I mean, the production clearly decided to go for a quality over quantity approach to the main runtime, filling the dead air with all the minis. But they've paced it pretty well around that limitation. I didn't care that the fight took four episodes because each episode was really loving cool in its own right.

Personally, my favorite example of this show defying gender norms is Pencilgon. She's a violent, poisonous woman who manipulates and murders her way into getting what she wants... and that's not a big deal because it's a loving video game. Just a troll having fun, just one of the bros, dude, relax. But, oh, she's also a big-deal IRL model and beautiful! But... that's not a big deal since it is, again, a video game. People literally make characters that look like her, its mostly just funny. Oh, and also also, her genuine friendship with an NPC pushes her to risk mockery from her genuine gamer bro friends to bring them in for help, driving the entire prior arc. Seriously, just an outstanding character. Wouldn't change a thing.
