Pure fluff filled with trash tropes (VR video game world, OP MC), but done well and so very wholesome. The MC (a sweet and simple girl) hasn't played an MMO before, and proceeds to break the game by playing super atypically. Feels a bit like litrpg given progression, with more absurdity than usual - less 'progress,' more 'breaking' (going a bit too far sometimes, but mostly very fun). The core of the show is a series of female friendships - not often the focus of what otherwise comes across as some kind of shonen. And every episode ends with her fan club (veteran MMOplayers) in a chatroom talking about how much they support her.
