I recommend [Online Games: The Divine Steps] to you. This was a virtual online game novel written by the author, Shang Lihua. It told the story of Tang Zixuan who came to the Blue Star in the interstellar era because he exchanged his body with the soul of the other world. In this game world, he could speed up his cultivation in the real world. Moreover, he had obtained the Martial God's inheritance at the beginning and embarked on his own path to becoming a god. It's similar to the story you mentioned about how the male protagonist's body changes in real life and in the game after he enters the game. It's a little like a female online game novel, but it has its own unique setting and storyline. I hope you will like this novel.😘
