A Late-Start Tamer’s Laid-Back Life: Volume 1

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.
