À propos de むしろ
When a speaker is making a determination about something in Japanese, the adverb むしろ is often used to express a more accurate depiction of what has already been said. This is regularly translated as 'rather', or 'instead'.
むしろ will mostly appear at the beginning of new sentences, or the beginning of a second clause within a sentence, before information about (A) will be clarified.
As むしろ seeks to give a more accurate description about something, it will often be paired with grammar patterns such as より, to show where the comparison is being made.
Fun Fact
むしろ comes from the kanji 寧ろ, literally meaning 'preferable'. This is the same kanji that appears in the word 丁寧, meaning 'polite' (sometimes also translated as 'careful'). The grammar structure むしろ itself may even be translated as 'preferably', simply expressing that careful consideration has been given to describing something accurately.

無口 is a ‘na’ adjective. If i had to guess, I think this is the noun くらい (位) for ranking or standing (in this case, ‘kind/grade’ of person)
I think you are right on the second one, that sounds weird! I remember thinking the same thing when I came across it.
I believe this is the ないと grammar point whi...

Of course! That makes so much more sense, haha. I didn’t even think to check to see if 無口 could act as a な-adj.

On the last example text of the grammer point, is the double より intended?
“俺はMMOよりよりむしろシングルプレイヤーのゲームの方が好きだ”
Apologies if this is the incorrect place to ask.
