Not new concept. Look at ‘This game is too realistic’, which also has a novel. In the story, the protagonist is trapped in a post-apocalyptic, ruined world. To survive and rebuild, he gains the ability to create a "VR game" interface that connects to Earth and recruits real-world humans to log in as "players." These players believe they are playing a hyper-realistic, high-stakes game, while the protagonist uses them as a workforce/army to reclaim land, build bases, and fight monsters, all while keeping the truth that it is a real world hidden from them.
Btw, it’s hilarious that they make fun of the women always wearing skimpy clothes in games
Let’s assume this isn’t an omegaverse and think this through. ML loves MC but isn’t gay so he’ll be in a relationship with MC but feel repulsive about sex. That makes perfect sense. That doesn’t mean they aren’t dating. ML’s actions show he cares and loves. MC is the one with issues. ML breaking up with MC also makes sense because he thinks he’s cheating and doesn’t deserve MC anymore.











MC got transmigrated into a world and spent 30 years fighting to survive thinking it was a classic RPG. He retired as a war hero and was about to reach the ending only to realize the 30 years were just a prologue. The main storyline was a fantasy world with skimpy women and no men.
