Rakuro Hizutome specializes in clearing badly made VR games, then chooses the popular Shangri-La Frontier as his next challenge.

Synopsis
The Anime Lad

Rakuro Hizutome devotes himself to clearing badly made virtual-reality games. He eventually selects Shangri-La Frontier, a celebrated title with thirty million players. Online friends and rivals wait inside its expansive world. Rakuro has therefore left a specialized hobby built around software misery for the unfamiliar burden of playing something popular and competent.

Super Eyepatch Fox

Rakuro specializes in clearing broken virtual-reality games. His next target is Shangri-La Frontier, a massively popular game with thirty million players and an expansive world. Online friends and rivals turn the new challenge into more than another solo clear. A trash-game hunter finally enters the title everyone recommends.

Gigguku

Rakuro has devoted his gaming life to clearing terrible VR releases, then finally chooses the giant hit with thirty million players! That reversal is an instant hook. Shangri-La Frontier offers a vast world along with online friends and rivals, but he enters it with the mindset of someone who actively seeks hostile games. I want to see what that taste does inside a title people actually love.

Father's Basement

Virtual danger can only carry so much weight, and the premise openly calls its new game god-tier. Rakuro is more interesting than the praise. He specializes in clearing badly made VR games, then chooses the hugely popular Shangri-La Frontier. The contrast between a trash-game hunter and a polished world gives the familiar game adventure a specific point of view before any competition begins.

"When was the last time I played a game that wasn't crap?" This is a world in the near future where games that use display screens are classified as retro. Anything that can't keep up with state-of-the-art VR technology is called a "crap game," and you see a large number of crap games coming out.

What defines it

An upbeat gaming adventure shounen. Fun, flashy, and inventive.
