What We Can Learn from Maple’s Carefree Gaming Style in BOFURI: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense.
Kaede, also known by her character name “Maple” in the VRMMO New World Online, barely knows anything about video games. She only got it in the first place because her competitive gamer friend Risa/”Sally” wanted to play it with her as a fun bonding activity, and so she has no preconceived notions of how games are supposed to be played. Maple decides to put all of her skill points into defense so she doesn’t have to take damage, and thus begins her carefree journey of accidental success in BOFURI: I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, So I’ll Max Out My Defense!
Even though she isn’t playing it “correctly”, Maple still has a great time making friends and cheesing the game’s quests with her maxed-out build. So what real-life lessons can we take away from this anime? Let’s check out what we can learn from Maple’s happy-go-lucky playstyle!
