An anime television series adaptation produced by C2C premiered in October 2023. It won the 47th Kodansha Manga Award in the shōnen category in 2023. Plot[edit] The story is set in the near future, where games that use old-fashioned display screens are classified as retro games, while full-dive VR games have become commonplace. As a result of these games becoming mainstream, there exist many so-called "trash games": rushed, full of glitches, faulty games, the systems of which have not kept up with the improved visual technology. Rakuro Hizutome is a "trash game hunter", a great admirer of these usually shameful games, which he plays with the nickname Sunraku, until he is able to master them regardless of the difficulty due to their glitches. Rakuro has cleared the oversized "Faeria Chronicle Online" trash game, and is suffering a sort of burnout syndrome. At the suggestion of the owner of his favorite game store, "RockRoll", he buys the best-selling and excellent "Shangri-La Frontier", a full-dive VR game with 30 million registered players. He enters the world of Shangri-La Frontier as the player character Sunraku, where all the skills he has attained as an expert trash game hunter will come in handy as he progresses in the game.

He found the novel interesting and therefore started to think of writing novels. At that time, reincarnation-type stories were popular in that website and there was a period that he read only fantasy stories.
For some reason they also took the almost-perfect written MC and made every girl fall in love with him just because he's hot I guess?
Still interested on watching the 2nd season because the main plot is genuinely good, but because of the flaws after the strong start, I can't give the anime a 10 like everyone else. Reviewer’s Rating: 8 What did you think of

This Doxen has the cutest little ears and softest tiny snout you’ve ever encountered in such a beast. Now imagine its contrast; the pitbull of nightmares. This thing looks like it was genetically engineered to kill the Terminator and Arnold would agree wholeheartedly. Now imagine that in some cruel twist of fate (much like the first episode of Oshi no Ko) this Doxen and that Pitbull breed and produce what I can only imagine is called a Ditbull (Poxen was on the table but that just sounds even cuter than the Doxen).
