About Shangri-La Frontier

The story of Shangri-La Frontier is set in a near-future world where advanced VR technology has made display-screen games largely obsolete, labeling them as "crap games." Players dedicated to clearing these less-advanced games are known as "crap-game hunters." The narrative follows Rakuro Hizutome, one such hunter, as he takes on "Shangri-La Frontier," a highly popular "god-tier game" with millions of players. His journey in this expansive virtual world leads to new friendships, encounters with rivals, and changes his destiny.
