Rakuro Hizutome is a second-year high school student with an unusual hobby. While most gamers enjoy high-quality, well-made games, Rakuro takes pleasure in playing and mastering so-called “trash games”—poorly designed games with frustrating mechanics and terrible graphics. He has spent countless hours analyzing their flaws and overcoming their challenges, becoming an expert in pushing any game to its limits.
One day, Rakuro decides to try something different. Instead of another broken game, he picks up Shangri-La Frontier (SLF), a highly popular and well-crafted VR game that is considered “god-tier” by the gaming community. He logs in without reading any guides or instructions, skips the prologue, and immediately throws himself into battle. Rakuro chooses the player name Sunraku and starts his adventure wearing nothing but a bird mask and shorts.
At first, things seem to go well for Sunraku. Using his skills from years of playing difficult games, he quickly defeats small enemies like goblins, rabbits, and even a dangerous python. He moves fast, attacks with precision, and plays with confidence.
However, his luck takes a turn when he encounters Lycagon the Nightslayer, a massive and powerful wolf that is far stronger than any opponent he has faced so far. Unlike the weak enemies he fought before, Lycagon is an advanced boss that requires strategy, patience, and high-level gear—none of which Sunraku has.
Shangri-La Frontier ~ Kusoge Hunter, Kamige ni Idoman to su~ Plot
For the first time in a long while, Rakuro faces a real challenge. Unlike “trash games” where he could find ways to manipulate the system, SLF is well-balanced, making every battle fair but tough. He realizes that to survive in this new world, he will need to adjust his approach and learn to play differently. With his experience, adaptability, and determination, he sets out to improve, determined to push the game’s mechanics to their absolute limits.
But SLF is more than just another game. Sunraku’s journey takes an unexpected turn when he meets an old rival, someone who knows his gaming skills all too well. This encounter will not only change Sunraku’s adventure but also affect every player in SLF. What started as just another challenge soon turns into something much bigger, pulling him deeper into the mysteries of the virtual world.
Shangri-La Frontier is a story of skill, adventure, and discovery. It follows Rakuro as he moves from conquering bad games to mastering one of the best games ever created. Along the way, he will meet strong opponents, form new alliances, and uncover secrets hidden within the world. The question is—can a master of broken games find success in a near-perfect one?
