Log Horizon
Who says being trapped in a game world has to be bad? Set in a years-old MMORPG called Elder Tale, the plot follows several thousand players who suddenly find themselves trapped within the popular game’s world. Whereas Sword Art Online presents dire stakes for being trapped in a game world, though, this series’ protagonist Shiroe and his friends embrace the opportunity for a fresh start and attempt to build new societies within it. Taking part in quests, side missions, and large scale battles, they use the abilities and powers they’ve built up over the course of their previous play time to make the most of this new opportunity and settle into the roles they’d previously only dreamed of. Much like Overlord, it shows how fun an Isekai occurrence could be and is great for an enjoyable binging session.
