Kyuukyoku Shinka shita Full Dive RPG ga Genjitsu yori mo Kusoge Dattara

Hiroshi Yuuki escapes the frustrations of real life through full-dive games until a shop clerk named Reona talks him into buying an old title called Kiwame Quest. It was designed to be the most realistic virtual world ever created, and that realism goes far beyond graphics: pain, exhaustion, smell, taste, and the consequences of every social mistake all feel painfully real.

Within minutes, Hiroshi makes a disastrous choice that ruins his reputation and closes off the easiest paths forward. There is no convenient reset to erase what happened and no heroic stat boost to compensate for his ordinary abilities. Reona still insists he keep playing. Finishing a game he quickly comes to hate becomes a stubborn battle against a system so unforgiving that real life starts to look merciful by comparison.
