About the Series
Published by Yen Press, both the novels and the manga adaptation are available in English. The story follows:
IS SHE THE GAME'S LAST BOSS?!
Though she doesn't play many MMOs, Maple has either a natural talent or impossibly good luck. By pouring every last stat point into Vitality, she’s created a character who can’t be hurt! Whether it’s physical attacks, magic, or status effects, nothing poses a real threat. Soon, news spreads across the server about the adorable terror who can’t be defeated. While Maple may just be having fun, her broken build is sure to attract lots of unexpected attention...
