On their X (formerly Twitter) account, Yuumikan thanked fans for giving them the ability to complete the story with a satisfying ending.
Yen Press publishes both the novels and the manga adaptation in English, and it describes the story:
IS SHE THE GAME'S LAST BOSS?! Though she doesn't play many MMOs, Maple has either a natural talent or impossibly good luck, because by pouring every last stat point she has into Vitality, she's created a character who can't be hurt! Whether it's physical attacks or magic or status effects, nothing poses a real threat. In no time at all, 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...
