Virtual Cub Raising

Virtual Cub Raising
Stories of people in a modern setting who raise or support a game character—but CRAZY TWIST they’ve actually been helping a real person in another world!!

I haven’t read all of these, but I’m assembling a list of this small (?) genre. Feel free to suggest more if you find them!

Seems like a crossover between cub raising and dungeon/system post-apocalypse?! Sadly only a few chapters.  We can dream for more…

      How wonderful! I’m excited to check it out.  The setup sounds good—a lot of these are cub raising in another world, but I like the idea of the movie queen using her experience to help someone else navigate the real entertainment world (even if she doesn’t think her cub is real.)

      @Insideofadoge it's one of my favorite but unfortunately no one has translated it so you can only use Google translateclear.png

      @Vthree Oh my, it’s so sweet! I stayed up way too late reading it clear.pngI used DeepL to translate and it’s very enjoyable (although, of course, nothing is better than a good translator).

    There is Endo and Kobayashi’s Live Commentary on the Villainess, it has a manga adaptation and an anime's coming too. Also, It hasn't been translated yet but The Evil God Beyond the Smartphone (스마트폰 너머의 악신님) is like NPC Town-building Game but edgy.

      Oh, I hadn’t thought about Endo & Kobayashi as part of this tiny genre, but you’re right! Most of these are romances between people on opposite sides of the screen, but E&K has same-world romances. And plus it’s such a super sweet story!

      I read one chapter of MTL of The Evil God Behind the Smartphone and I can tell it’s not for me! I can’t bear to do anything to in-game characters, even if they aren’t real. I’m such a wuss, haha

      clear.pngYeah there isn’t much out there. There is a manhua adaptation for “I Raised and Sick and Weak Prince” to check out, if you haven’t already. But I’m keeping an eye out!
