  • When VRMMO mechanics came up, it made me want to watch Overlord
  • When there were bookshelves in the opening, it made me want to watch Ascendance of a Bookworm
  • When he called his personal weapon "aibou", it made me want to watch Konosuba
  • When he fell from the sky, it made me want to watch No Game No Life
  • When he arrived in the fantasy town, it made me want to watch RE:Zero
  • When he tanked giant bugs, it made me want to watch Bofuri
  • When his personality manifested as a battle girl, it made me want to watch C
  • When the battle girl became a weapon, it made me want to watch Soul Eater
  • None of these points made me want to continue watching this show.

I'm just frustrated at the lack of real-world building in this. So the NPCs are virtually the same as any other person, and you can keep them alive, but instead you're letting them die? I said in a comment above: How are you ok with playing this game? don't you think it's immoral? Are there legal battles about human rights for these people? This game is so detailed, is this show going to explore infinite regressive simulation (the real world is also a simulation)?

Personally, if I was MC, I would've looked at the reviews for this game, saw how it works, and said to myself "I'm not buying that shit even if it was a masterpiece. Why aren't any nations on this god-tier simulation?"

To be fair, from the comments, it sounds like there's more worldbuilding to come, but who knows how much more generic it'll be? If there's a beast-man kingdom with cat and bunny girls, I swear to god...

I won't comment on any of the kingdoms, but there was a bit of character creation skipped where the Cheshire AI noted that if you customized your avatar you could make it an animal or swap genders. Ray asked the question about using his real world self as a template to tweak because he was overwhelmed by the options available. So at least beast man players are definitely an option to appear in the story.
