What is Shangri La Frontier about?
Shangri La Frontier — Rakuro Hizutome is a high schooler with an obsessive hobby: seeking out and clearing the most notoriously buggy, broken, and unplayable "trash games" in the VR market.
Suffering trash-game burnout, he decides to dive into the global god-tier VRMMO "Shangri-La Frontier." Playing as the bird-masked, half-naked mercenary "Sunraku," his inhuman glitch-honed reflexes trigger secret world quests and attract the attention of the game's Seven Colossi—starting with the terrifying Lycagon the Nightslayer.
