In Yen Press' synopsis, Lorna's family brands her a disgrace and throws her out after she gains an apparently useless ability. Without food or money, she faces destitution before discovering how to use her SSS-Rank skill, "Internet."

The cheat-level ability teaches her to collect limitless valuable items and obtain rare equipment with ease. With godlike knowledge, Lorna can live however she chooses—though she still needs to learn what "lmfao" means.

Sakaki started serializing the original story on Shōsetsuka ni Narō in May 2022. Square Enix released the first print volume in December 2022, featuring riritto's illustrations. Volume five shipped in May 2025.

Tamaki Toga began the manga adaptation on Kodansha's Getsu Maga Kichi/Comic Days website in May 2023. Kodansha released its 12th compiled volume on May 8.

Comikey publishes English editions of Daisuke Takashima's manga adaptation of Sakaki's The Strongest Swordsman Has Zero Equipment Slots novels and Namiki Tsukiyama's adaptation of Sakaki's Final Boss Fake-out novels. Square Enix also releases both manga in English through its Manga UP! Global website.
