There is a book series called "The Game Is Life" that follows this pretext.
The first few books do a good job of explaining the universe and concept while latter books delve more into characterization and expanding on smaller concepts.
Well, it depends on how hardcore you want the slice of life fully embedded in your story.

There is the Level Up series by Dan Sugralinov. A group of aliens has a convoluted reason why they need to give gamer powers to an ordinary Russian. He used the power to find a better job, get a few exercises in, find time to enjoy his hobbies, get better friends and better girl. In the end, there is a big contest to see if he should keep his powers or not so there is a semblance of goal in the story.

Then there is the game of life series by Terry Schott. As I understand the story, Earth is like the game world and players will go into this device and for a while, they will forget who they are because they will become babies, then they grow up into teens, then adulthood. They will get a job, marry, raised a family, then watched as their children grow up. Then they will grow old and finally die. At that time, they will return back to themselves and realized that they are playing a game. The viewers will then judge who among them have the most interesting life. hardcore slice of life!

Read the Book: [The Game is life] (https://www.amazon.de/Game-Life-Book-English-ebook/dp/B009U5TCKU)
They explain it relatively well. It is quite interesting, especially how the main character wrote in his last playthrough a book about them living only in a simulation but only made a few copies. And in his next playthrough he finds that book and found upon it a religion that believes they are living inside of a game.
