Well, same basic premises of being sucked into the game, but instead of VR, it's actually a top down rpg. All the players have been playing for years before a major update, and this update ends up sucking them all in. They end up having to figure everything out and reorient themselves, figure out how to use their skills without the actually good menus, their society is entirely muddled for a while, the NPCs actually have their own society and they're wondering wtf happened with all the adventurers, there's actually history of the player characters interacting with the world(which is kinda mind blowing), respawning actually costs life experiences, the players end up forming a whole council for a long while as they start reorganizing and using real experiences and knowledge to vastly improve quality of life, it is so good. The magic and stuff is awesome, and a quote unquote 'NPC' actually ends up beong magically contracted into becoming an 'Adventurer' to save his own life. It's so good. I did hear that for a few years, the writer of the manga ended up dealing with a lot of legal trouble that landed him in prison, but he's gotten out and continued writing. The Anime has only three seasons as of now as a result. Absolutely worth the wait, that was. I'm not gonna spoil anymore though. :P
