Full Dive: This Ultimate Next-Gen Full Dive RPG Is Even Shittier Than Real Life! - S01

Ten years ago, at the height of the VRMMO development boom, a game called "Kiwame Quest" arrived with potential unlike anything else. It claimed a massive total of 10 sexdecillion possible story branches, and it aimed for ultimate realism, from humanlike NPCs to a perfect recreation of every sense and physical ability. But it soon became clear the game was too realistic, and the popularity of VRMMOs in general gradually started to fall. In the present, after an accident a few years earlier, high school student Hiroshi Yuuki now throws himself into full-dive RPGs as a way to escape. After failing to get the latest version of his favorite game, Hiroshi comes across a game shop and meets its beautiful clerk, Reona Kisaragi, who talks him into buying a copy of Kiwame Quest so they can play together. The first time Hiroshi plays, he is amazed by how realistic it feels. His wonder does not last long, though, as he triggers a string of misfortunes and quickly realizes the game is even worse than his already stressful life. Even so, despite his growing hatred for the game, Hiroshi keeps logging back in. With no do-overs in his current disadvantaged situation, Hiroshi has only one goal: clearing the game!
