Tbh I’m not really following along the error and game over plotline. Can someone explain like I’m 5 please…
So think of it like a car, The whole tutorial is a highway.
In all of the car there's only ONE passenger. When the cars swerve off the highway (dies in the tutorial) the cars aren't really gone, They're just on a different road (they're basically like offline mode)
So our MC isn't supposed to be in the highway cause
1. He's not driving therefore there's two people in the car but he's not in control (the system)
2. The cars are there to prepare them for a BIGGER highway (the invasion)
So in essence, MC is someone the system regards as part of ML [they are still in one car] and therefore if MC deals the final blow, that wouldn't make sense because he's not in a car! So it would be like if a passenger just glitches out of a car and won the race.
Therefore, that would be an error, and since they're in the same car, If one of them moves to another road but physically the MC is still on the highway that would also be an error.
That's what the administrators mean when they said they can't let MC deal the final blow, That's because it would break the system as he is not part of the data accounted for. He's an outside variable in a contained experiment.
I mean it’s nice to just turn off my brain and indulge in mindless junk sometimes. There were some decently lighthearted moments and well drawn panels.
At the same time, I can’t help but feel conflicted about how all the female characters were written though. It left a lot to be desired emotionally.
There were some brief subplots scattered throughout the manga that felt real to the ‘coming of age’ vibe, and while not revolutionary, still provided genuine perspectives that resonated with me. However, these moments were flickering; anything remotely showing potential depth was resolved almost instantly in the next few pages in favour for the next plot device centred around the ML (Now that I’m writing this, I’ve realised I’m lowk too old and seen too much crap now to be enjoying shoujos the way I used to…)
I think one of the stronger developments for Mugi was seeing her navigate her own social life. I think that’s one of the only motivation we see from her that’s not boyfriend centred. That is not to say her struggles in a first time relationship wasn’t just as interesting such as exploring her boundaries and pacing with physical intimacy, finding a common commonground in expressing affection, and discovering her own sense of independence as she enters early adulthood.
But like I said - anything interesting gets resolved instantly in favour for the next thing. Too many subplots not enough depth; many characters were introduced once and used for a singular expository purpose.










THANK YOU TO YUGI AND THANK YOU TO THE AUTHOR AND THANK YOU FOR EVERYBODY ELSE HERE SUPPORTING THEM!!!!
I instantly connected that arc to the homophobia allegory too! Cause if you take it at face value, honestly the setup is a little absurd if it’s juuust about the bullying.
I’m so happy for such a fuzzy ending. When I first read this years ago and it was dropped, I lost almost all hope. As it finally reaches to a conclusion, my heart feels full and is satisfied!!! What an unbelievable journey. Eternally grateful for the tenacity of yugi even through school and full time work!!!
