Some of the most famous are Haruhi Suzumiya’s Melancholy and Sword Art Online.

The series follows the adventures of the young Naofumi Iwatani who is screened in a world close to the role play. And for good reason: like a game of heroic fantasy, he inherits weapons. Except that unlike other characters who receive offensive weapons, Naofumi simply inherits a shield to defend himself. In addition, he is left with only one teammate while the others have several. Unfortunately, his partner will betray him and strip him. Vilipended and hunted by everyone, the young man can now rely only on himself to survive in this hostile universe.
