Hamuo released the novel on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website in November 2019, and it’s still ongoing. Earth Star Entertainment began publishing the series in print in July 2020. In October 2020, Tetta launched the manga on Comic Earth Star.
J-Novel Club releases the novel and manga digitally in English, and Yen Press publishes the English print edition. J-Novel Club describes the story as follows:
“‘Level up even while offline’?! That’s not a game on ‘easy mode’—that’s just an AFK game!” The online game Yamada Kenichi had been playing religiously is shutting down its servers, leaving him with a void in his heart.
He looks for a new game to fill it, but everything he finds is way too easy. The kind of game he likes—the kind punishing enough to make players want to spend thousands of hours on it—just isn’t around anymore.
“What’s this? ‘You are invited to a game that will never end.’” Kenichi stumbles upon an untitled game, one promising incomparable challenge with unprecedented potential. Without hesitation, he selects the “Hell Mode” difficulty.
Lo and behold, he finds himself reincarnated in another world as a serf! Now called Allen, he sets out to unlock the secrets of his mystery-laden Summoner class; without the convenience of walkthroughs, game guides, or online forums, he must grope his way to the top of his new world!
