    There is none, they all suck and are poorly done. You can clearly see that 99% of them have never actually played an MMO in their life and just stuck it in their cause they know MMOs are popular. (Yes, LMS and Overgeared suck too, it is clear the authors haven't played an MMO outside of maybe being casuals)

    The stuck in the game vrmmos are generally done better mostly because they don't need to deal with ridiculousness of IRL and don't suffer the poor balance issues since well there is no option not to play. There is also more suspense due to actual consiquences.

    The World Online. Mostly because it's not really a mmo meant to be played as a game and balanced as one. It's a simulation that gradually gets more realistic with every year meant to train humanity as it migrates to another planet since earth is doomed. The planet they are going to is very hostile, so as this is the future, the world's main AI is used to scan all of human knowledge even the martial arts one. Thus it manages to discover cultivation, and the game is meant to train people in it to prepare humanity.
    This is not a spoiler by the way. All this is revealed in the first few chapters. the first 2/3 of the story are glorious. And the rest is still pretty good.

    And also, Peerless White Emperor. Mostly because it caters to my sophomoric sense of humor and cracks me up to no end.

    Peerless White Emperor is good but it does not have good consistency on power levels.it randomly changes.it gets repetitive near later chapters.

    The war scenes aren't that great either, because many of the top guilds feel like pugs or low end guilds run by a person with an inferiority complex.

    This is why it is so important for an author to actually experience top end gaming to write a proper vrmmo novel. Because if all their experience is playing with pugs or low end guilds, that is what you get.

    Out of the ones I read, Legendary Moonlight Sculptor and Log Horizon are probably my top two.

    For Log Horizon, I love the cast of characters. Each are unique but they're all really likable. MC doesn't hog the spotlight with his OPness while side characters pale in comparison. You truly see the characters working together and playing to each others' strengths. That sort of quality really reminds me of guilds in MMORPGs.

    Also, the vast scope of the world and the politics between different factions is top notch.

    For good mechanics, The King's Avatar and VRMMO no Shien Shokunin are excellent examples that mechanics can be good without getting in the way of a good story. If an author doesn't want to write good video game mechanics into the story, he shouldn't set it in a video game.

    For general purposes, LMS is the peak of VRMMO novels. None of the Korean novels are as good because they're all just copies of LMS but Weed has a different class and usually doesn't do half as much. None of the Chinese novels are as good because they keep inflating the word count with explanations of how equipping one item is equal to gaining three levels and it takes weeks for normal players to get to level 10 and everything worth doing can only be achieved by one player. Japanese novels only really suffer from having Japanese protagonists and being slice of life.

    The only exception is if you like slice of life, in which case I'd say a number of Japanese novels do it extremely well - Free Life Fantasy Online is my favorite of those (the manga is not even close to being as good as the webnovel).

    They're all shit. What's the point in reading about a dude play a game when it doesn't affect the real world? Now, there are certain ones like Murim Login where the MC gets transported into a game world, but he can also take the stuff he learns in there and use it in the real world. (Stats and skills and shit all transfer over).

    LMS, 1/2 Prince and Vaudevillain, because they do feel like games
    The MCs are relatively special, but still rely on other people to increase their impact on the setting, and their adventures make sense as quests, and thereis cool and fun stuff for the players todo, plus the irl shenanigans that treat the game as a game
    I havent ever consumed a good trapped in VR novel, because the game design is always atrocious and so overly biased towards the MC, a that point just make it an isekai and be done with it
