The only shades of Syobon Action are the caricature they use to depict the developers.

To quote the novel's explanation:

New Communicate Online, commonly known as Nekomimineko, was well known as the shittiest game of the century. Many legends had been born from this game, but if you asked what the most impressive one was, you’d surely hear the point “it’s single player” being mentioned.

Even though the title contained words like “Communicate” and “Online”, not only is it not an MMO, there’s not even a single function in the game that allows you to interact with other people. Quite shocking.

....

Not only that, but there were only three choices each for hair color and skin color, even though there were a total of eight different cat ear designs available for the head accessory. Comments like “they’re totally focusing on the wrong things” or “just how much do they like cat ears” flooded 2chan.

It was definitely around that time when the name Nekomimi Cat Offline started being used around the web as a pun on New Communicate Online.

So probably a pun that doesn't translate well.

The developers' love of cats is personified in the Mary Sue character the english release of the manga will be introducing soon. The dev's half ass the hell out of almost everything, but they spent multiple man years worth of work making her ears purrfect.

I find it so ironic that he feels so proud over killing a monster in such a weird and boring way. How and why would someone play a game like this for so long with so many bugs. Bruu

 

[kur0g4m1]

This is better than I expected.

 

[ghostfreak]

This one reminded me of Neverwinter Online. Just like the spider boss dying from falling ahahaha.

 

[kanzakill]

Very charming setting.

 

[AbuHajaar]

With the amount of bugs this has, I really need to see the speedruns of this game.
Though I'd imagine there'd be a tons of hard resets and ragequits.

 

[Tyco2003]

Update?

 

[Grenzoocoon]

Hoping for some more chapters but I guess we'll never see more any time soon.

 

[LeviAJ]

New Translator here. Don't worry it's coming soon.

 

[Tiihokatti]

I remember starting to read the novel years back and taking a break after catching up with the translations.
Now that I looked at how far the translation had progressed from before... I'm in despair! The translation progress has left me in despair!

Whelp, hopefully the manga will save me from the despair.

ill but this in the category of
"so bad its entertaining"

 

[LockeThe3rd]

Ah, this manga is so funny! I just went through some older chapters to refresh my memory for the new one and have been cracking up repeatedly. I'm glad this is being translated again, thanks TL-san!

 

[wal123]

I actually almost cried when I read his story about Tiel

 

[ABCsOfLife]

Man I got to do some re-reading for this one, I forgot what's what...

 

[LeviAJ]

@ABCsOfLife I put a recap in the 13th chapter for this purpose

 

[ABCsOfLife]

@LeviAJ Oh did you? Thank you!
