Only I Know That This World Is a Game

Sagara Soma is a dedicated gamer whose life revolves entirely around playing and analyzing video games. Ever since childhood, he has dreamed of actually living within a game world. That wish becomes reality one day after he breaks a promise to his cousin Maki to continue gaming, suddenly finding himself transported into "New Communicate Online," also known as "Neko-Mimi-Neko." This particular title is infamous for its deceptive quests, sporadic encounters with overwhelmingly powerful enemies, and numerous bugs that result in frequent player deaths. Now existing as a starting character within this unforgiving environment, Soma faces a critical uncertainty: will he respawn upon death, or perish permanently? Fortunately, his exhaustive knowledge of Neko-Mimi-Neko’s mechanics and flaws may allow him to exploit the game’s inherent unfairness to his advantage.
