So I've watched 10 episodes or so. The show really makes you think about the consequences of such technology should it ever come to light. It was revealed in the last episode that you can have VR sex in the game.
So let's say the whole death thing didn't happen. Just the ability to have sex in a game would be highly unethical don't you think? I mean, it would be a cheaters paradise. And even if you weren't the type to do that going in, wouldn't it be a great temptation?
Right now my only complaint about the show is that I think it is progressing too fast. Sudden changes in character are just explained to be the result of something unseen that happened during a time skip. 10 episodes = about 2 years. I would love to have seen some of the things that were alluded to and implied.
I am only refreshed to see a male protagonist that:
1) Isn't a loser or idiot. His only really awkward moments are with one girl that he likes.
2) Despite the development of an unwanted harem, he has actually chosen just one girl and sticking with her. I am pretty convinced at this point that they would get married in real life when they finally leave the game.
