This series is a decent, funny idea held back by poor execution due to the writer's amateur ability. The concept and humorous moments itself hit pretty well, but the problem with this novel is that the author insists on long, drawn-out, repetitive explanations of the titular game's buggy mechanics. The Golden Zlime chapter is a good example of this, because he explains how the Extermination Fest works multiple times in a row, repeating the exact same sentence but worded differently, for almost an entire page. This is fine the first few times, but eventually it becomes overbearing to the point where 70% of each chapter is explaining a bug, and how he's going to exploit it. I don't know if this is the author trying to pad out the novel, or just his lack of experience, but the novel really suffers for it. I had to drop it. Whoever the editor was that got hired for this LN needs to be fired, because they're supposed to trim the this kind of fat off the WNs during their LN publication.

There's a manga that's being scanlated (albeit with a mediocre translation, possibly machine translated, don't remember) that I recommend reading instead if the idea here interests you. It has a much better pacing, and the comedy hits better due to it.
