Slum Online by Hiroshi Sakurazaka

I got this on storybundle.com awhile back. The first thing I will say is that the translator did an excellent job on this book. It felt well written and I felt the personality of the characters portrayed.
The story was entertaining and seeing the world through the imagined eyes of a Japanese gamer was interesting. As it was seeing it through the eyes of shut in. How real life relates to people's virtual lives is intertwined no matter how much people try to keep them separate but seeing it through the eyes of an online gamer who definitely struggles to relate the world around him was fun to read. As it was reading the references to Tokyo, it is always fun when you recognise place names in a book.
