When Catz Cries — Answer Arcs: Episode 11/11/24.
A handful of my concerns regarding potential lore-based contradictions were already addressed on discord a few months ago, so no need to go down that rabbit-hole .
The 1-A is very self-evident. I agree.
Although, personally, I do think the game-master role warranting a higher layer is a bit sus — that is — the game-master transcending the meta beings of their domain.
It says the GM is on a “higher plane of existence” because they spin the tale (tale as in the gameboard), but the meta beings would be exclusive to that since they’re not a part of the gameboard.
I think the reason why the GM is described as being on a higher plane is because they actually write the game as opposed to the other meta beings who don’t write the tale but still transcend it.
I’m particularly inclined to think that cus we see GMs “fighting” against non-GMs, and when Battler became the GM, he said he would “invite” Erica to game 6, which leads me to consider the GM role as something akin to an event-host, and the meta-beings, the party go’ers — not that the GM is “writing” the other meta-beings.
It’s been a while since I’ve read this series though, so feel free to correct me if I misunderstood.
I’ll comment on the High-1A stuff another time since the thread probably won’t pass w/o @Ultima_Reality anyway.
