The Unimplemented Overlords Have Joined the Party! #1

by Nagawasabi64, Kiki Piatkowska (Translator)

Young gamer Shuutarou is among the lucky few chosen to playtest Eternity, the latest VRMMORPG, and he wastes no time in activating his unique dungeon creation skill…at the exact moment when the game glitches out! Now he and his fellow playtesters are trapped, and their very lives are at stake. Shuutarou happens to end up in the one area that has yet to be patched into the the final-boss lair where the six Evil Overlords lurk. They promptly declare him their master―and with Eternity’s strongest baddies on his team, Shuutarou is up for any adventures this new life will throw at him!

[Rebecca · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was surprisingly good. The author fully admits that they were inspired by SAO and wrote this because the "trapped in a VRMMO" genre was less popular than once it was, and they lean into their influences in a way that's enjoyable rather than pandering. The dual storylines of the desperate people trying to beat the game and Shuutarou, who lucked into a bunch of super strong NPC allies, work well, and the short story about one of those allies implies that there may be more going on there than we assume. The writing isn't perfect, but on the whole I was pleasantly surprised and am looking forward to the next volume.
