This is a curated list of anime related to MMORPG, Dating sims and not just limited to isekai. although is mostly comprised of isekai I have included some others stories that are very related to dating sims that dont have any stereotypical trope of dying or being summoned just a slice of life plain everyday going into school and meeting new people and doing day to day errands.

this list of anime of protagonist that has woke up in a game... MMORPG and some others

this stories that doesnt seems plausible does needs to some mental gymnastics to write about them is a long topic that will play my mind as i have to unravel the logics of the isekai with ai and the simulated parallel world that also will miss the reincarnation thing. so Ive see that these stories are heavily criticized but if we think deeper to craft these types of stories does take a while.

during free time do try to think about them.

this list expand on the first stack of fav isekai picks...
for the selection on this list on anime that shares many commonalities...
most of the selection is the mc joining a fantasy game world setting...
Most on the list the Mc have a game interface...
some are repeated on the first list but is because is to wrap the ones that shares others similar traits ... this list narrow in certain type of vibe in isekai

game stats level grinding


because the concept presented by these types of anime that makes a lot of philosophical question makes it for an try to cover most of the topics but they are really interesting to me of how these digital worlds question are asked.

theres a lot of cosmo vision around this and why is important as you guys know that humanity likes to play god and we humans might be living a simulation.

for now the highlight for the list is

Isekai Meikyuu de Harem wo
Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World

if you like this one check on the others

this one is a blur line similar to gate and shield hero.

in shield hero when the naofumi gets to another world he gets video game interface but we are not sure if naofumi just got into a game or not or into a virtual world reality. a world video game mechanics the same here. so theres a blur between that virtual world a reality.

this one is a video game isekai... the protagonist can log on and log out... from the game but that's not the point... this anime doesn't make much sense for most people... don't start it if don't plan to finish it... is like some sort of scooby doo you will uncover the truth at the end...

can login and logout from the game
can get pop up menus as in a vr game.

this anime criticize that immersive vr game sucks as if is too much to reality in which people wants to escape, why in the world people wants more realism?

Indeed, science fiction, including anime, has often shown remarkable foresight in predicting the development of technology, including advancements in artificial intelligence. While these predictions might not always be perfectly accurate, they often highlight the potential and direction of technological progress. Some anime have portrayed AI as highly intelligent and capable entities, which has proven to be prescient as AI research has advanced over the years.

Infinite Dendrogram
TV, 2020, 13 eps Me:- Author:8
in this story the mc can log on and log off the game. he got interface is very similar to BOFURI.

These anime, among others, reflect the growing interest in and awareness of AI's potential impact on society, even before AI technologies became as prominent as they are today. While some predictions may seem far-fetched or exaggerated, they often serve as thought-provoking explorations of what could be possible as technology continues to advance.

It's important to note that while these anime portray futuristic scenarios, the actual development of AI involves a complex interplay of technical challenges, ethical considerations, and societal impacts. While AI has made significant progress since these anime were released, creating truly intelligent and conscious AI beings, as depicted in fiction, remains a topic of ongoing research and debate.

Isekai Meikyuu de Harem wo
TV, 2022, 12 eps Me:- Author:8
woke up in a game ... he has pop up notifications as a video game interface. he is a immersive vr game. or maybe something else?

this anime well is interesting because the mc will get slaves girls after every session of collecting dropped items in dungeon into a spicy night everyday and everynight in a harem of slaves girls.

as the anime gets repetitive i won't spoil how it ends but... it becomes a chore of collect and a repeat so basically that that's why this anime ends pretty quickly.
Level 1 dakedo Unique Skill de Saikyou desu
TV, 2023, 12 eps Me:- Author:6
this anime spent more time on the dungeon and recollecting drop items the way in Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World.

this anime is the same as some others anime of going into dungeon to collect dropped items except that this one is let's say friendly it doesn't have spicy nights and day as in isekai harem.

what makes this interesting differently this one you get a more wholesome relationship married couple like story.

100-man no Inochi no Ue ni Ore wa Tatteiru
TV, 2020, 12 eps Me:- Author:8
the protagonist in this anime will level up like game mechanics, with stats...

ok this anime maybe its conception is kinda deepn because it tries to merge the idea of parallel worlds with simulation and a lot of complex concepts or ideas that i yet to have deeper understanding.

this is a work in progress. when i have time i get here to meditate these animes that in sometime provided some interesting though provoking ideas so sometimes is good de reflects on this topics of digital life should be treated as real.

this is another anime that make virtual world with video games mechanics share this premise with shield hero.
