You need to watch more anime then because there are plenty that do that quite early on (well depending on a few factors like how much investment you have in the characters and what not). I had to read about it to even know what you're talking about (never heard of it before, one of the few shows that slipped on by without me noticing it), might have to give it a watch as it sounds a lot like SAO and Log Horizon but with a different twist.
