Taida Isamu, a 35-year-old freelancer, has neither close friends nor a girlfriend to share his love with. His only purpose in life is playing VRMMOs. However, modern VRMMOs have become communication tools for the socially successful, and Isamu, a loser, finds himself constantly being hunted in every game he plays. When he becomes fed up with everything, including VRMMOs, due to their similarity to reality, Isamu receives a beta test acceptance notification for a new title.... more>>

That's when he comes up with the idea of hunting beginners. To vent his daily frustrations, he plans to gain knowledge in the beta version and level up faster than others, allowing him to unilaterally hunt down novices right after the game's release. Finally, on the day of the official release, he immediately tries to lure new players outside the city to player-kill them. However, his slightly remaining conscience leads him to provide detailed advice instead.

As he repeats this process, he gradually becomes known as the "Tutorial Guy" and gains the affection of other players. Eventually, he earns the trust of the game's management, and along with that, his real life also starts to improve. <<less

Shingetsu Makoto, a college student. Having won a prize draw, he starts playing a VRMMO game. He had gathered some information, but it was his first time playing a VR game itself. He starts the game under the player name “Shin”. Then immediately a random quest occurs! By clearing it, Shin obtains a unique title as a reward. However, it was written there:

“If you possess this title, you cannot participate in any in-game events.”

Participating in events is one of the pleasures of a VRMMO. Therefore, that title seemed to be nothing but a huge disadvantage.

His sister, who is a veteran of online games, even tells him that he should give up on joining a “Clan”, which means a party.

Having no choice, Makoto decides to enjoy continuing the game at his own pace, solo.

However, before long, the true value of that title is revealed, and those around him are astounded.

So, she prepared to play the game. When Yamamoto-san started playing the game, she found that her unique skill was too strong like a cheat-level skill…

I don't read the manga so I don't know how it's translated, but it's probably also a weird expression even in Japanese that it became a nickname for the character. I don't read the manga so I don't understand the context but from googling, it seems either it's literally he has good balance, has good physical or technique all around, or able to handle anything. <<less
