Only Sense Online / Only Sense Online - The Silver Muse
-
(Copy/Pasting my previous comment on how much I want OSO.)
This is one of my favorite series. The setting is a straight VRMMO setting where the protagonist plays the game Only Sense Online with a female avatar due to a sensor mistake. It's mostly slice of life and playing as Yun (protagonist) spends his time experimenting and doing his own thing. Most of his adventures in the story are through getting recruited by either his sister or his friends. He mains as an archer and crafter making potions. The story is really good at making all his potion brewing really interesting and he develops various types and sells them. It's a very relaxing series to read because none of the conflicts in the series are truly detrimental to life as it's truly just a game. There are jokes about the NPCs potentially being staff, but they're kept out of sight enough to leave them feeling like NPCs.
So overall, it's a game. The world-building is really well done as the game's system is explored in depth. You select skills to equip and can raise them and mix them however you want creating your "only" character build. The skills can evolve, split off, or even merge into new ones which creates and infinite number of player builds and styles. Overall, I'd much rather play something like Only Sense Online than stuff like Infinite Dendrogram, Sword Art Online, or Eldar Tales (Log Horizon).
Otherwise, you mentioned that J-NC is the only publisher to have a pure VRMMO series, but YP recently got Do You Like Your Mom?.

is that an Isekai though? if it is a Pure VRMMO then I suppose you are right, though Yen On has SAO Alt: GGO so I guess either way JNC is not the only one to have Pure MMO type of LN.

I've checked out the manga for this one and read also a bit of the fan translation. I would be certainly interested in it if it gets picked up officially.
-
Unfortunately a Kadokawa series.
-
@drone205 303 on Bookwalker seems a good size, after other comments here sounds like something I’d really dig but damn Kadowaka...
-
Since Kadokawa is viable now, thought I'd mention how much I love Only Sense Online again. I'd love some more fluffy VRMMO.

Volume 16 is set to to come out October 20th in Japan. http://www.fujimishobo.co.jp/bk_detail.php?pcd=321802000319

Been reading the fan translation of this, and it's remarkably good.
It feels kinda like if Ray from Dendro were less a boss-killing badass and more a crafter character. It's really good. The 'ha, it's a guy with a girl avatar!' jokes get old, but it doesn't get squicky, so.

Needs a US license. Needs a US print release. Needs an anime. Only Sense Online is an amazing light novel series that leaves you feeling fluffy.
-
I look at that cover and wonder why Kazuma is in this story...
-
Volume 16 is set for release in December. http://www.fujimishobo.co.jp/fantasia/ Will post the cover to bump the thread again when it comes out. I still really want this licensed. One of my favorite SoL series.
-
Volume 16 Cover is out. The volume comes out in a week on the 20th.
-
Fwiw I'd love an official of this too.
-
Volume 17 is set to come out April 20th. No cover yet online. But MPT shared it with me from a magazine earlier.
-
Would love if this series got licensed. One of my fav fan translations.
-
Vol.17 just released!!!!
-
While I'm happy for this series getting another volume... the longer it gets, the less likely it is in getting licensed :/ Unless it gets a good anime that brings new demand.
