Overlord also has a main character that is trapped in a game world. They both want to take power in this new world, and they are both overpowered. Both animes are Isekai.

Books like No Game No Life

We have also added a few books that you might like if you like the No Game No Life anime. Most of the books are in the LitRPG genre, which basically is western Isekai in book form.

Ready Player One by Ernest Cline

Book cover: Ready Player One
Buy now! Amazon.com

Wade Watts is a poor teen living with his aunt in the stacks, a trailer park with the trailers stacked atop each other. A place for the poor.

Wade only feels alive when he`s inside the OASIS, a popular online game that most of the world is obsessed with.

Even with the basic headgear and gloves, it's almost like you are inside the game. It gets even better for those with the money for specialized bodysuits.

The creator of OASIS, James Halliday, told everyone before he died that he had hidden an easter egg inside the game. And whoever finds it first will inherit his entire multi-billion-dollar fortune.

Wade is among the most dedicated hunters that label themselves as gunters. To find the egg they study the life of Halliday, especially his earlier days in the 80s. And gunters are really dedicated to their studies.

When Wade is the first to find the first clue thing takes a nasty turn when he discovers that people are willing to kill him in the real world to get it.

Is Ready Player One by Ernest Cline good?

This book is full of pop culture from the 80s, especially the cool nerdy stuff. Sadly I`m a little too young to have experienced the 80s pop culture, but I know some of it, and it is still cool.

It is all those references that make the book shine the most, Ready Player One would not be as good without it. Other VR themed books are better.

Why is Ready Player One by Ernest Cline recommended?

In Rady Player One lots of the story take part in the real world, and they are not stuck in a game world.

Awaken Online: Catharsis (Awaken Online #1) by Travis Bagwell

Awaken Online: Catharsis book cover
Buy now! Amazon.com

Jason attends a prestigious private school and his parents are reasonably well off. But his parents are never home, and he is bullied by both students and faculty at this prestigious school.

Frustrated with his life, Jason escapes into the newly released full immersion VRMMORPG game Awaken Online.

Jason quickly finds himself on the path to be one of the game's greater villains. With his powerful necromantic power and newly won leadership of a new playable race, he becomes a target for all the rest.

Jason constantly logs on to the game for the freedom and power he gets in it. Something that he lacks in real life.

One of the reasons for Jasons growing power in the game is that one of the major AIs in Awaken Online has taken an interest in him, and in humanity.

Is Awaken Online good?

Awaken Online online is one of the best LitRPG series.

Usually, I don't like LitRPG books that are too much in the real world. But in this case, Travis Bagwell has managed to keep that part interesting too.

Awaken Online has interesting game mechanics, and I like how the AI overlords interact with the game.

Awaken Online is an amazing book series that is absolutely worth reading, especially if you like LitRPG books.

The Dark Herbalist Series is a LitRPG book series with a good balance. Game and leveling mechanics are well mixed with a solid story and character development.

Off to Be the Wizard (Magic 2.0 #1)

Book cover: Off to Be the Wizard
Buy now! Amazon.com

Martin Banks is a guy with an above-normal interest in computers. He loves nothing more than snooping on files he should not have access to.

One day he makes an abnormal discovery.

He finds a file that changes reality when he edits it.

Implying that reality, himself included, is nothing more than an elaborate computer program.

Every little tweak he dos to make his life a little easier does not go unnoticed. Rather than face prosecution and trying to explain what he can do, he decides instead to travel back in time to the Middle Ages and pose as a wizard.

Is Magic 2.0 good?

I love the concept, and the humoristic story around it is marvelous. If you are afraid of laughing around strangers, then you should probably read it at home.

Sadly the third book was a huge disappointment, but the two first are extraordinary.

Is The Divine Dungeon good?

Dungeon Born is one of the best books I have read in a while. This book is written in a light and funny way. For me it was new and fresh, it was the first Dungeon Core type books I read.
