If you like the genre of "Virtual Reality" (like me), or people being transvared to a "World with Game Elements", than this List is for you. Here you will find Animes, Mangas and (web-)Novels, connected to the said Genre. (These are only Titels that i have seen/readed personally.)
Since an Anime mostly means, that there is a Manga of it somewhere, and Mangas are mostly based on Novels, i wll just note the latest releases to avoid repeating myself to much.

"Toaru Ossan no VRMMO Katsudouki"
A new player decides to take less-famous skills and jobs in a VMMORPG. At first he earns laughter, but it turns out better than expected and his play style becomes more and more rewarding. (To the extent of absurdity)

A programmer finds him self transfered to a game he had to test and debug. With his Admin-Skills, he erases an Army on the first day and levels up to a ridiculous hight Level. Afterwards he tries to live a peaceful life. (Yea, like that will happen...)

(I'm not sure if this title belongs here, because its not clear if there are game elements in that world)

Novels:

Wow could i possibly fail to add Ted Wiliams's bestseller "Otherland" on this List. Just google it, you will find it on any online bookstore.
"Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka?"
Chapter 1-212, Chapter 213-?
After an accident, the MC gets reborn as a spider-monster, and has to find ways to stay alive in brutal world. The world has clear game elements, like levels, skills and monster-evolution.
"Paradigm - digital dreams"
German version - English version
My own humble work. The MC and a group of other people are taking part in the testing of a new engine for virtual reality. You get to see the events and experiences through his analytical point of view.
"Monster Tamer/Master of Monsters"
First part, Second part
A whole school building, including students and teachers, gets sucked in a dangerous world. The MC separates himself from the main group, because he starts to deeply hate them for their egoism. There he find his unique ability. (Look at the title)
With this title, i'm not sure if it fits this category, because its unclear of either the world has game elements, or not. The skills everyone gets could be depending on a skill-based system, or simply be magic.
Aside from that, its one of the best titles in this whole list.
Like i said, this are just title that i heave read/seen myself. There is a long list of mangas and novels that i still want to read and i will update this site with new Titles, when i find some. (as long as they fit the category
I hope this helps you, have fun with it.
