Summary of the summary (by Tap): Female 183cm tall university student is the main character, "Kohiruimaki Karen" (probably).

She has a height complex, so she didn't manage to level up her social interaction level much in RL.

So she gets into GGO and gets a hold of an avatar that's shorter than even 150 cm.

Then she meets a beautiful brown-skinned female player, Pitohui, and they hit it off well as fellow female players.

And one day, Pitohui asks her about taking part in a team battle royale that was derived from BoB, called "Squad Jam".
