Dude Isekai and Video Games

You ever think to yourself: "man... wouldn't it be great if there were isekais for dudes, you know, like Dudewipes?"
Isekais are commonly defined as such: protagonist is in one world. Protagonist is now in another world that is different, story ensues.
A dude isekai is an isekai that supposed to be masculine
also it's about video games
it's almost always about video games
or Heroes Journey fantasy shit.
and sometimes its just time-travel because I'm too lazy to make a second list

Max-Leveled Newbie

About to retire from a predatory streaming contract, Jinhyuk finally beats the last floor in The Tower of Trials, but a mysterious update begins as soon as he achieves this solitary achievement. But the next day? The Tower of Trials is suddenly real???
Named for the first real arc, newbie is an interesting enough take on the "suddenly this game is real for me" subgenre. A particularly interesting bit is how he gets deadly revenge against a former enemy of his almost immediately thanks to a man-eating tree.
Recommendation:
It's not the worst thing I've ever read! Which is higher praise than it sounds like. It does unfortunately tend towards the dickhole main character trope that plagues the genre, and similarly brings forth the "pure yet idiotic one-sided love-interest" trope as well.

Worn and Torn Newbie

Eojin likes playing the rpg vr game "Deus Ex Machina"
Eojin is in deep, deep debt to a loan shark, and playing Deus ex Machina
Eojin is suddenly 15 years in the past, when Deus Ex Machina first released, and decides to dominate the scene with his intimate knowledge of the game
Worn and Torn Newbie is interesting in that Eojin's motivation isn't just revenge on the loan sharks that fucked him over. He goes right back to the game he lost 15 years of his life to, his reasoning being "that shit went for 15 years before it went sideways". He wants to conquer the game that not only fucked him over, but he wants to also nurture the entire Deus Ex Revolution phenomenon to the peak he thinks it can be.
Recommendation:
eh
If you have the patience to read chapters of Eojin being completely nude in game until you become so numb that you forget about it until he gets arrested for public indecency for going for a drive naked then it's a solid enough read.

Solo Bug Player

Taepung Shin knows nearly every inch of the MMO video game Paradiso, his favorite game. Unfortunately he enjoys the game too much, and dies from exhaustion while playing it one day.
However he soon awakes to find he is now within Paradiso himself! Reborn into the body of the delinquent lord, Jared, in the frozen province of the Cariba territory. Jared then has the unenviable task of rehabilitating and strengthening his territory in preparation for war and famine he knows is coming. As well as dropping some pounds.
Recommendation:
ugh
Look, it has some interesting shit with translating game bugs for power-leveling and shit into a reality but it also has no recourse for Jared's body being a physically abusive piece of shit to Haze before isekai. SO MUCH FATPHOBIA and also like some weird subtle homophobia?
