''[[FictionalVideoGame Only Sense Online]]'', also known as ''OSO'', is an ambitious VirtualReality [[MassivelyMultiplayerOnlineRolePlayingGame MMORPG]] that offers players a high level of customization via its "Sense" system. Each player gets to choose from a vast list of talents known as Senses and are encouraged to create their own Sense build for an "only one play style".

During the official launch of ''Only Sense Online'', Shun, an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent, is compelled by his best friend Takumi and younger sister Miu, both hardcore gamers and beta testers of ''OSO'', to join them in the game. HilarityEnsues when the game system mistakes his sex and generates a [[GenderBender female avatar]] for him, which he further complicates by accidentally giving himself a feminine-sounding handle "Yun". As a completely novice player, Yun picks up a set of unpopular Senses which his much more experienced companions label as trash. Undeterred by their harsh words, Yun decides to keep his Senses and experiment with them, embarking him on a journey where he would explore the richly-designed game world, meet new friends, face challenges and actually thrives in-game… all alongside with him [[RunningGag constantly trying (and failing)]] [[CassandraTruth to convince other players that he is not a girl!]]

* CoolButInefficient: The most favorable opinion most people have for archery: sure, it looks neat, but it has serious problems, from poor range and accuracy to arrows being consumable items. [[AvertedTrope It turns out that]] archery, like other combat Senses, works best when paired with Senses that make up for its limitations, but nobody in the closed beta had figured out what the best support Senses ''were''. Meanwhile, consumables are essential for everyone and so the cost of arrows turns inconsequential next to, say, the MP potions mages eventually need to keep going. After the first book Yun's arrow worries disappear since it's just one (very small) part of prepping for combat.

* AllThereInTheManual: Subverted, as the game is poorly documented by the developers, with most guides and resources coming from wikis and forum guides assembled by beta players and built upon once the game goes into official release.

[[spoiler:But then played straight for anyone with the Linguistics Sense, as the in-game library is full of thorough documentation of the game's workings and numerous crafting recipes that most players like Yun had worked out on their own. All of which was missed for months because it was gated behind a trash Sense.]]



* TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything: As the game goes on, it becomes increasingly clear that there are no truly trash Senses, with content, useful abilities, and helpful shortcuts hidden behind everything. It's mind-boggling how much the developers made that probably nobody has seen yet because it's gated behind something "useless."

* ComplacentGamingSyndrome: InUniverse, this created the harsh tiering of Senses that left many considered "trash." The majority of players treated ''OSO'' as any other MMO, devoting themselves to the combat grind while ignoring numerous (poorly-documented) subsystems that didn't have an immediate benefit. Even crafters mostly settled for making equipment and letting NPC vendors handle consumables. Then the [=GMs=] shook things up with a number of formal and informal events designed to force the player base out of its complacency - letting NPC vendors sell out, instituting a hunger/satiety system that suddenly made the "useless" Cooking Sense essential, the Forest Camping Game which demanded low-tier Senses to prosper, and so on.



* ElementalCrafting: Present though downplayed. For example, most people who use metal gear use iron or steel, though there are the more powerful Fine Iron and Mithril. Most better materials are RandomDrops from powerful enemies and bosses until people can acquire high-level mining skills. Yun discovers that Alchemy can bypass the boss drops by combining a lot of a low quality material into a little of something better (and is strongly implied to be the reason Myu was able to get her fancy armor far earlier than expected).



* ItemCrafting: ''OSO'' has a very elaborate item crafting system, which necessitates the existence of players with crafting-oriented Sense builds.

to:

* ItemCrafting: ''OSO'' has a very elaborate item crafting system, which necessitates the existence of players with crafting-oriented Sense builds. Fortunately to save one's sanity, for most consumables you only ''have'' to craft them directly once, then can spend {{Mana}} to mass-produce (slightly lower-quality) copies in a short time. There'd be no keeping up with the demand for potions otherwise.



* MoneySink: The game is full of them, ranging from the constant need for [[BreakableWeapons equipment repairs]], [[AnEntrepreneurIsYou rental costs for shops and homes]], membership fees for various services such as libraries, and hefty expenses for founding and running a player guild. Yun is incredibly susceptible to these, as he's constantly blowing piles of cash on land, shop improvements, armor repairs, and new tools.

For example, Yun's Hawk Eyes Sense is [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway widely derided]] in ''OSO'' because its immediate effects - extended vision and night vision - are easily substituted with other more useful Senses[[note]]Bearers of the Light Element Talent Sense for example can just simply illuminate a dark area[[/note]]. However, Yun quickly discovered (with some insight from Taku) that Hawk Eyes is in fact a targeting Sense, and allows its user to cast spells as far as the range of the extended vision it provides. And after it reaches level 50, it can be upgraded into Sky Eyes, which enhances its effects even more, and also provides new effects, including the ability to ''perceive enemy attacks in BulletTime''.

[[caption-width-right:350:''"Only one"'']]

''[[FictionalVideoGame Only Sense Online]]'', also known as ''OSO'', is an ambitious VirtualReality [[MassivelyMultiplayerOnlineRolePlayingGame MMORPG]] that offers players a high level of customisability via its "Sense" system. Each player gets to choose from a vast list of talents known as Senses and are encouraged to create their own Sense build for an "only one play style".

During the official launch of ''Only Sense Online'', Shun, an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent, is compelled by his best friend Takumi and younger sister Miu, both hardcore gamers and beta testers of ''OSO'', to join them in the game. HilarityEnsues when the game system mistakes his sex and generates a [[GenderBender female avatar]] for him, which he further complicates by accidentally giving himself a feminine-sounding handle "Yun". As a completely novice player, Yun picks up a set of unpopular Senses which his much more experienced companions label as trash. Undeterred by their harsh words, Yun decides to keep his Senses and experiment with them, embarking him on a journey where he would explore the richly-designed game world, meet new friends, face challenges and actually thrives in-game… all alongside with him [[RunningGag constantly trying (and failing)]] [[CassandraTruth to convince other players that he is not a girl!]]

''Only Sense Online'' is an ongoing LightNovel series written by Aloha Zachou, and is published by Fujimi Shobo. Its SliceOfLife approach to the VRMMORPG concept makes it LighterAndSofter compared to other works of its genre, such as ''Anime/DotHackSign'' and ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'', although it is still exciting in its own right. ''Only Sense Online'' has a manga adaptation, which is also published by Fujimi Shobo.
----
!!This series provides examples of:

* AffectionateNickname: After the "Forest Camping Game" event in volume 2, Yun acquired the nickname "Young Beasts' Nanny", or simply "Nanny", thanks to his conspicuous efforts to save and take care of the young beast NPCs during that event. Needless to say, he [[EmbarrassingNickname dislikes that nickname intensely]].
* AmazonBrigade: Myu's usual in-game party is composed of six (including her) GamerChicks of similar ages. All of its members have different specializations, which complement each other very well, and their excellent teamwork makes them a fearsome force in-game.
* ArtificialIntelligence: One of the selling points of ''OSO'' the game is its highly advanced artificial intelligence, to the point that Yun sometimes muses whether the [[NonPlayerCharacter NPCs]] he is interacting with are in fact controlled by actual humans.
* AttractiveBentGender: Thanks to the automatic body correction applied to him after the system misidentified him as female, Yun appears in-game as a long-haired beauty.
* BottomlessQuiver: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. One of the reasons why the bow is disdained in ''OSO'' is because arrows are one-use consumables and acquiring them from shops is very inefficient.
* BreakableWeapons: Equipments in ''OSO'' have durable ratings, which if sufficiently damaged can break. Luckily, it is usually possible to repair broken equipments at a cost.
* CallingYourAttacks: All characters in this series have the habit of calling out whatever skills they are preparing to use, presumably because the skills are all voice-activated.
* CassandraTruth: Despite his constant vehement protests otherwise, nobody besides his real life acquaintances actually believes that Yun is not a girl.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Most ''OSO'' players have combat-oriented Sense builds, which are generally sensible in a game where combat is an important aspect. However, this becomes a problem during the "Forest Camping Game" event when survivalist-based Senses become equally important and suddenly players are caught in a situation where EverythingIsTryingToKillYou[[note]]innocuous looking berries turning out to be deadly poison, for example[[/note]] and they have no adequate countermeasures besides combat skills, which [[AmazonBrigade Myu's party]] learnt the [[PoisonMushroom hard way]].
* CrossPlayer: [[invoked]] Although this option is not available by default in ''OSO'', Yun becomes one thanks to a system misidentification by the game. His real life acquaintances treat this as a case of GoodBadBug, much to his chagrin.
* CutenessProximity: All of the young beasts that appear during the "Forest Camping Game" event invoke this to whoever who gets close to them.
* DesignItYourselfEquipment: Experienced crafters in ''OSO'' are able to customise the equipments they make, including naming them whatever they want.
* DigitalAvatar: All players of ''OSO'' control one within the game's {{Cyberspace}}.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Yun's real life self looks feminine enough that he had been able to crossdress once in the past without a hitch. This is probably the reason why the game system mistook his sex in the first place.
* AnEntrepreneurIsYou: ''OSO'' has a well-developed PlayerGeneratedEconomy, which gives players the choice to focus almost exclusively on running a business in-game.
* FirstTown: The starting town in ''OSO'' is literally named as such.
* GamerChick: Virtually all female characters in this series are one, considering they are all dedicated players of ''OSO''.
* HealingPotion: One of the first things Yun crafted in ''OSO'', and he turns out to be so good at crafting them that he was known as the "Mysterious Potion Vendor" for a period of time.
* HeroesPreferSwords: Swords are very popular weapons in ''OSO'', and are the weapons of choice for quite a few major characters, such as Myu and Taku, and it is implied that both of them are trying to invoke this trope by using swords.
* AHomeownerIsYou: It is possible for players to build their own house in ''OSO'' by purchasing land in-game and spending huge amounts of in-game currency to build on it.
* HubCity: The aforementioned FirstTown serves as this for most ''OSO'' players, as it is also the location where most crafters set up their shops in.
* AnInteriorDesignerIsYou: All players who own shops or houses in ''OSO'' can customise them according to their own desires.
* ImpossibleItemDrop: During the "Forest Camping Game" event, Yun defeats a Western Bluefin Tuna monster, which drops... a set of western cooking tools.
* ItemCrafting: ''OSO'' has a very elaborate item crafting system, which necessitates the existence of players with crafting-oriented Sense builds.
* JobSystem: The Sense system in ''OSO'' combines aspects of this with a PointBuildSystem, wherein the number of Senses a player can use at any point of time is capped at 10, however as they increase their masteries in their Senses, they can acquire new Senses which they can then freely swap with their existing Senses.
* MedievalEuropeanFantasy: The world of ''OSO'' is described to be a variant of this.
* MundaneUtility: As he becomes more used to the game, Yun finds out that he can make use of ''OSO'''s VirtualReality and practice his real life baking skills without spending actual money on baking ingredients.
* PlayerGeneratedEconomy: Although it is possible to acquire basic equipments and consumables from NPC-run shops in ''OSO'', the best equipments and consumables are all made by the players themselves, which drives the creation of a vibrant player-based economy.
* PlayerHeadquarters: All player-owned houses in ''OSO'' can take up this role, especially after they are fully decorated.
* PotionBrewingMechanic: Thanks to ''OSO'''s elaborate ItemCrafting system, potion-making is a very intricate process, and it is actually possible to greatly enhance the efficacy of a potion by performing a whole series of intermediate steps, such as drying the potion ingredients before mixing them.
* ScrappyWeapon: [[invoked]] The bow is widely derided in ''OSO'' because of its horrible cost-to-performance ratio. It requires a constant supply of arrows, which are one-use consumables, and its accuracy is terrible compared to other weapons because it requires a high dexterity stat to be effective, which most players do not usually obtain due to their heavily combat-oriented Sense builds raising their attack stat instead.
* SingleUseShield: Yun has an item called the "Substitute Gem's Ring'', which allows him to completely negate one single attack, regardless of its power, at the cost of one gem.
* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: Besides the existence of a mature VirtualReality technology which enabled the creation of ''OSO'', there are no other notable differences between ''Only Sense Online'''s world and the actual world.
* UnderwaterRuins: Yun explores a cluster of such ruins during the ''Forest Camping Game'' event in ''OSO'', which turns out to provide important details on how to complete the event.
* UnknownItemIdentification: Most item drops and collectibles in ''OSO'' have to be appraised by players with the appropriate Senses before their full effects, or even identities, are uncovered.
* YearInsideHourOutside: The "Forest Camping Game" event takes place in a special ''OSO'' server in which the flow of time has been stretched by about 80 times. This enables the event to last for a week while only taking up 2 hours of real time.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Many ''OSO'' players opt to give their [[DigitalAvatar player avatars]] fantastic hair colors, such as Myu's white hair, and Sei's light blue hair.
