Publisher Description
The Law of Justice Online, also known as LJO, is the hottest new VRMMORPG of the season, and office worker Yuta Sasaki is one of the lucky few granted access to the official launch. After some careful research, Yuta is chomping at the bit to start his virtual life as a Tamer, a class that harnesses the powers of wild monsters. Luckily, upon building his character, Yuta manages to land not only his chosen class, but a heap of bonuses to boot! He soon finds, however, that his abilities are not all they're cracked up to be, and that the talents of the rare first monster he is granted lie not in combat...but gardening! Already well behind the other adventurers, and facing a long and slow progression path ahead of him, Yuta is left with two choices—start over from scratch, or make the best of what he has been given. For Yuta the choice is obvious: When life gives you manure...start up a farm!

VRMMORPG Slice of Life
Note that this is *not* an isekai, nor does it follow the usual isekai tropes. However, the series has virtually no real-world component, with everything happening in the game world. It’s basically the story of a hard-core gamer’s character exploring a new game, and to a lesser extent, developing in-game social relationships. While there’s some combat, the focus is much more on crafting and social aspects of gaming. The series may have limited appeal to non-gamers, but as a gamer myself, I find it very much in the “comfort food” category. The author also appears to be either a very experienced MMORPG gamer or a game dev, since the world-building of the game world is extremely well-done, and deals well with a lot of the complexities of making an effective MMO game world, without getting bogged down in details too much. The series will very likely appeal to fans of Bofuri, and slice-of-life isekai.
