I feel like author didn't consider that society would've collapsed after the first round? 50% aged 15-29 just died globally. That's a significant % of the workforce, and a huge chunk of the consumer base. Economy is in shambles. Millions of children orphaned overnight. Millions of parents just lost their children. What did they do about the billion funerals? MC saying society could collapse soon because of players wreaking havoc, like no it should already be royally screwed.
If it at least looked like the real world was a mess it'd be one thing, but all we see are some articles on celebrities. We don't see how governments are handling this. People are acting like its business as usual?? How is the stock market not crashed??? 7,000,000 people died to covid over a few years and that was a disaster. This is like 100 times that in one day.
Finished the 3rd round now and they're still acting like it's fine at 1/8th the numbers. Do they eventually address it? I know fantasy stories don't have to be realistic but they based it in a modern world, which assumes it runs on similar logic to ours... im fine ignoring plot holes in stories but this just feels so massive i feel like asking about it.
