I read the manga. It's quite promising so far.

LN status : Vol 1 - Oct 4, 2019 WN link : https://ncode.syosetu.com/n1119fh/ Translation : https://www.novelupdates.com/series/...building-game/ Spoiler for Plot summary: 30-year old shutin NEET Yoshio receives a package from a mysterious game company, containing a game disk titled “The Village of Fate". The game is a type of village building game where the player is the God of Destiny guiding the surprisingly lifelike "AI" villagers. The player cannot directly interact with the villagers but he can send an oracle once a day stating his wishes, which the villagers follow. Their gratitude allows the player to earn points and level up to unlock more bonuses and levels (There's also a pay to play option to buy various bonuses and items for village improvement). As Yoshio grows more invested in the game, he in turn is motivated by the game to pull himself out of his NEET shell, reconnect with society and his family, and get a job to support himself (and the pay to play). Spoiler for Usual questions: Is MC OP? - No, he is just ordinary human. He still keeps fit via indoor workout. Is there harem? - No, but MC reconnects with a female childhood friend later on. Is there snusnu? - I don't think so. - This is by the same author who wrote Reincarnated As a Vending Machine (https://www.novelupdates.com/series/...nding-machine/) and a Konosuba spinoff LNs with Dust as the MC.(https://www.novelupdates.com/series/...mo-kyakkou-wo/) - Story has strong motivational/self-improvement message.
