So, a webnovel I've been following recently deserves a rec here. "Blunt-Type Ogre Girl's Way to Livestreaming".
Our Heroine, Nanako, is an orphan working three part-time jobs just to get by. When all three employers simulteneously go under, she's left flat out of hope... until she gets an invitation from a childhood friend, Rinne, who happens to be an e-sports pro and veteran game livestreamer. Rinne invites Nanako to join her team for a new VRMMO that's just been launched.
Nana becomes quite swiftly popular in the game, for someone who doesn't do flashy magic or sword tricks -- she's playing a Kishin, or Oni, and her preferred combat method is to just smash stuff with a big metal club. And she's very good at it. (The fact that the two are clearly becoming a couple, and their streaming audience can see this, doesn't hurt.)
Not quite sure where the plot is going aside from the slow-burn romance and the girls having fun with the game, but there are hints that there's more to the game than it seems. We'll see how things go.
