sorry this mother actually has so much problem beyond self projection, now i even doubt it was self projection after all this you torture your daughter so much go torture yourself
i am a bit interested in psychology and i wonder whether there's a name for this behavior, just narcissism seems won't cut it

I don't think ruri is the culprit who killed arika.
I think it was someone else who pushed Arika and ruri just happened to see her fell. but bc she didn't like arika she reacted slowly. since this going to be a big scandal and she could be the main suspect she decided to hide the body. i often saw story went like this. beside it's too easy for ruri to appear as the main criminal. and there are too many shots of her if she was a totally bad guy. i just feel that the vibe of this manga is not like that. I expected a scene ahead to try to make her a more sympathizing character like with chihiro (but honestly i wont ever sympathize with her).
although in the end she still did the crime of hiding someone's body and didn't report it. so if it found out she won't get away jail time either.

i like dahlia but she kept leading the prince on.
and overall the harem happened too easily because of her power. now i know dahlia is really great.
but the best of her personality showcase was when she still tried to get close to hikan. the duality of her inmer monologue and her outwards appearance made her a deeper character. but now she's too much of a happy-go-lucky i cant really feel the tension despite the thickening plot. the scenario with blueport duchess were also great. the rest not so much. teaching the prince who is in love with you "about love" through book, what kind of daydream, and that's was just too convenient to make them interact with each other but again 'teaching love through book'?? it's like teaching about health without eating healthy food

i know i am not saying he's bad, i like the second prince and in full board to have him with dahlia that's why, why my girl like this. I thought she's trying to date him too but she rejected strongly when meldon asked about her and the prince. that's make me have to rethink again what dahlia actually think about the prince.

I usually don't like making theory but I really wish bada can get out!
what if bada is actually from previous players batch who already got out but his spirit stayed around to stay as npc. then by inserting the tape the real pi bada get sucked again.
the thing is, we don't even know whether all of them playing the game in the real world (but different plane) or inside something like virtual world? if it's like virtual world it make sense for npc to be unable to get out (having no physical body outside) but if it's still earth but different plane then technically bada can ge out with his own body as long as they broke whatever making the npc/murderer trapped there

i want to add that author really good at misdirection... they make us assume things when we don't even have the whole pictures.
it's bc the characters/players themselves also believed that half-truth, so i agree with the commentor below that they're all unreliable narrator.
but i found it's funny bc obviously this is a mystery where even the characters themselves are confused... so it's weird that we believed everything they all come up with. lol anyway it has been fun for me to get fooled
Wow this part is different from what i read
Did i read the LN version or WN version i dont remember
