This anime describes really well the Dream of a "Neet". The remote possibility of finding your loved one playing a MMORPG. From all the possibilities of this reality, Net-juu no Susume, illustrates one comic and realistic one.

From the very beginning we are presented a Girl that left her job for “reasons”. Then she reveals herself to be a “NEET”, someone that loves to forget the “Real World” and enter the “Virtual” one.
As you will see in the 1st episode the main character plays, inside the game, as someone of the opposite sex, thing actually normal for people that want to have some fun AWAY from the REAL WORLD.
As the history progresses, she has a comic fateful encounter with an old colleague that she does not recognize. Sometime after they meet again, and there the history starts to create.
Eventually she meets more people, some happen to already play, others join the game later on.
Lily (game character), or Yuuta Sakurai, the man that falls in love for the main character Moriko Morioka, also called Hayashi, happens to start adding the things up after some time and realizes  that connection between Hayashi and the person being the computer.
All this appended because of Homare Koiwai, Sakurai’s boss, which had meet Moriko while shopping, they both recognize one another facilitating the conversation, and appointing a date right after. 
As soon as Homare Koiwai realises that Sakurai is in love with Moriko, he decides to help out a bit and tries to get them together. After that the story gets a lot funnier and complex, so make sure u watch it.
After this the history has its Cliché part, but also adds a lot of original parts. 
Personally I've done this (play as a character of the opposite sex) and while watching this anime it sure brought back a lot of memories. I do recommend this anime for people that play online games, like/"appreciate" comedy & romances, and absolutely to everyone that likes to DREAM! (Also if u are older than 18 years old and still a virgin there is an 80% chance u will like this)
