Gantz is a death game where people are forced to to kill. So the premise is similar, although the setting is completely different. One is fantasy, while the other is sci fi. being a game, SOA doesnt have any actual gore, while Gantz is more mature with both gore, and mature content. If you like one, you might enjoy the other if you want to feed on some misery in different forms.

If you liked Log Horizon add

...then you might like Zero no Shiniki add

Although incomplete, Zero no shiniki's meager chapters give you a good experience and a nice peek into the world that was made. Unlike log horizon, zero is darker, and people enter the world as they fall asleep, and like most game manga, its a death game. If youre looking for a quickie, this should be enjoyable.

If you liked Sword Art Online: Aincrad add

...then you might like Overlord add

It's baffling that Overlord wasn't recommended here, perhaps because there's a large amount of spin-offs for sword art, nevertheless i will fill the void here. Overlord is about a person that lives on inside a world that started out as a game, but became something more, if you enjoyed sword art, you will definitely love Overlord.

These two manga's are a peas in a pod. A strong player living and fighting In a VRMMO as if it was real life, unable to log out. The similarity is outstanding. Yet The New Gate shows a totally different story right from the first chapter, if you enjoyed one, you will definitely enjoy the other.

If you liked Real Account add

...then you might like The New Gate add

If you liked Accel World add

If you liked Highschool of the Dead add

...then you might like Ayanashi add

The premise is different, but high school of the dead is another Post-apocalyptic manga where humanity is on the brink. a few chapters bear a lot of similarity to how sheltered people treat those that have survived in the now violent world.

If you liked Gantz add

...then you might like Ayanashi add

Although at first Gantz starts off at a small scale, the later chapters become similar to the setting in ayanashi in the idea of humanity being cornered. Its a long read, if you dont enjoy gantz itself, then it wont be worth reading all the way up to the point that led me to make this recommendation. Otherwise, please enjoy.

If you liked Zero no Shiniki add

...then you might like Overlord add

I can't believe nobody suggested this one yet. At the moment, next to SOA, Overlord is what everyone compares game manga/anime to. Although the only similarity between the two mangas is the setting as well as the presence of gore, Overlord is a must read. Check out the overlord anime as well.

...then you might like Zero no Shiniki add

Eden is a fairly old manga, and has very little in common with shiniki other than the main goal of the manga. Its a survival manga. People forced into a situation where they have to fight for their lives in an unreasonable environment. Liking one doesn't necessarily mean you'll like the other, but it may be worth a read if you've got time, plus its completed.

If you liked Zero no Shiniki add

...then you might like Death March kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyousoukyoku add

...then you might like Zero no Shiniki add

Other the premise is different, its similar in that people are forced to play a life or death game. Except here they are sort of in the real world, Lots of blood, gore and a twinge of affection between characters, If the unfinished shiniki left a sour taste in your mouth, this completed manga may just fill the void.

!/2 Prince is a lighthearted comedy of a girl playing a VRMMO, the similarity is that its in a fantasy game world
