It helps that Maple owns instead of sucks like most protags in trash VRMMO novels.

maple's aware that it is just a game and she's in it to have fun with her friends. compare that to chinese mmo webnovels, which are always about getting rich first and then maybe some e-peen bullshit after that's taken care of.

i want more slice of life type stories about living in these video game worlds. properly explore how those kinds of systems being literal life for people would affect day to day living and how people who aren't demigods have to live in a world where there are literal, publicly visible numbers accurately advertising their precise lack of competence. give me a cyberpunk anime but instead of scifi it's isekai

Funny enough, off the top of my head the closest thing I can think of is I Was Kicked out of the Hero’s Party Because I Wasn’t a True Companion so I Decided to Have a Slow Life at the Frontier (LN / Manga). The manga hasn't reached the parts of the story where it starts to really get into it, but the systems of the world is actually a very prominent plot point and has a bunch of implications for the story, for characters and their motivations, and for everything in between. In my opinion it is one of the most interesting takes on it out of all the series I've read because of the impact it has on the story, rather than something that exists because RPG numbers and skill lists are fun and easy.

Brought To You By posted:I haven't actually watched it, I'm just aware that yet another MMO player found a broken build and it wasn't repeated by any other player. If there's a reason that's slightly better I guess. It doesn't come up in the anime, but in the LN there's a number of times it brings up people trying to copy her. The problem they come across though is Maple is just playing around and views all of the downsides she had as just part of the deal, while everyone else doesn't want to deal with it because they're being super serious and it actually really sucks taking four times longer to get anywhere. On top of that, the devs made a couple changes that makes it impossible for anyone else to do exactly what Maple did. First was a change to enemy AI, where they'll no longer unendingly attack something, giving up and running away after some time. This was how Maple got her first incredibly busted skill which let her get everything else in a snowball effect. Said skill is now no longer available due to this change, which breaks the loop before it can even begin. They do let Maple keep hers, but they additionally give players tools to get around the formerly unbeatable skill as a second change. Maple does come across a pair of twins with a similar mindset to hers, though instead of not taking damage they want to be really strong, and they wind up becoming friends and joining her guild.

If there's a reason that's slightly better I guess. She got the broken build by behaving like a complete idiot in ways that were extremely difficult to replicate (in several cases, because she couldn't remember how she did it). That presented the dev team with some real dilemmas about how to nerf her without negatively impacting the rest of the playerbase's game experience.

The easiest way to read MMO manga is to know absolutely nothing about video games and just take everything at face value. I highly recommend going back in time and only having a passing interest in mario bros and zelda as a five year old in the 80s.

The Sexual Revolution continues. Now with a manifesto and a different kind of bang and a reminder that it's always advantageous to have a god dwelling in your body. This is all clearly a ruse by Dhala and I don't think no matter how things play out it will work well for the queen. The school nurse lost some villain stock though.

It's a really well written and interesting series that is nigh impossible to recommend to others because the author REALLY wants everyone to know about his love for titty sucking.

ugusername posted:On a note of actually likable protagonists I really enjoy Dungeon Reset. It's based on a trope of "trash" skill being lowkey broken and MC being abused cause of it. Yet he doesn't go super edgy and continues to be a generally nice person that cares about people. For a while it was more about just comfortably surviving/becoming more powerful but now the main plot started picking up since he got access to means to get back to earth and he wants to find his friend first. Also physical humor is great. I gotta give this one a shout-out just because of how extremely mad the rabbit gets, like every time the MC figures out a way out of a bad situation he starts wildly vibrating in rage.

Has Let's Buy the Land And Cultivate in Different World been mentioned yet? It starts as your standard "boring dude gets summoned to another world but isn't very good at fighting" but then it goes batshit crazy in a way that's best described as "KonoSuba goes farming but (mostly) without the horny".

This feels practically identical to 'Farming Life in Another World'. MC has mastery over tools (One tool in FLIAW, any tool in this one), has women literally throwing themselves at him to be his bride, rules over monsters, is friends with and also far more powerful than the monsters who are all legendarily strong, etc.

they all have this bizarre idea that farming is easy, even before they get absurd cheats which make everything including farming trivially easy.

Similarities: MC has cheat skill that helps them with farming/crafting MC wins over powerful beings via cooking MC has multiple women unilaterally decide that they are going to live with him There is a war between humans and demons happening in the background Dungeons are a kind of natural resource generator Differences: Buy Land (so far) is about a single farm; Farming Life quickly turned into a village (and now basically a kingdom) Buy Land's MC has to get seeds for his crops; Farming Life's MC can get anything he can envision Farming Life has a kind of gross "all the women are sleeping with the MC because they want babies" plot thread Farming Life has such a huge cast that most characters don't have much depth. Including the MC and the original female leads Farming Life doesn't really do anything with the ongoing war between humans and demons; Buy Land looks like it's about to get entangled in it Farming Life's MC rarely gets to do anything that isn't till fields or make small crafts At the moment, I prefer Buy Land to Farming Life. The characters are more interesting, and the smaller cast means it's easier to keep track of who's who. Plus I don't have to feel gross about all the women who think they need to offer themselves to the MC or want him to repopulate their race.

Yeah, the thing I'm enjoying about Buy the Land is that the protag's goofy farming misadventures have entirely by accident created an alliance of some of the most powerful creatures in the world and the latest chapter just pointed that out.

ive been reading the wolf won't sleep web novel and i think one of my favorite aspects of Lecan is when he just nerds out about swords. and not like fancy smancy magic swords, but just well made utilitarian ones. like its the most emotion he's shown at this point is just loving being in awe at this well crafted sword. quote:It's a huge sword.

A new one catched my eye: Omniscient Readers Viewpoint. Basically MC was the only guy in the world who read probably somewhat typical edgy WN that came to life. It's fairly promising so I hope it won't devolve to him just abusing systems to become allpowerfull and would explore smart ways to navigate narratives. Honestly MC probably posts here or something considering recent developments.

GATE scratched an itch of mine and that is bizarre physical phenomenon.  I wish the story had started out intriguing instead of being itself. Seems like someone loved Evangelion because it's a shadow being cast from a higher dimension.

The manga is the only version I recommend because the artist is a military Otaku with a 90s-esque style so he brings a lot of charm and detail to an otherwise average story.
