No, it doesn't remind me of a YouTuber or a Streamer

Ohh~ Character development~

To clarify and give a little more information:

Crim was at a crossroads: they could either choose to be human or choose to be a vampire. The special capsule will transform them fully into either, because being mixed can cause some real issues... like the one where they nearly killed their childhood friend when they were young, and as a result their memory was wiped.

Crim wasn't told this, because their parents wanted Crim to choose without any pressure, and what's less pressure than choosing a race for a game character that can normally be changed at will?

The pod will take, iirc, 3 months to transform Crim, and so for now the story is all in-game, but the WN does get back to their reality once the pod is done its job (according to other comments in previous chapters).

I don't think the author forgot their initial premise.

What I don't know about, and what would be interesting, is if the unique race thing is expanded upon to the rest of the players.

• Crim has vampire as their in-game unique race.
• Unique races aren't available to every player.
• Crim has real vampire DNA.

Hypothesis: Unique races are the game detecting trace amounts of monster/mythical DNA in players, and theoretically, if they were to use the pod Crim is using, they could also transform into that race. Thus, Crim's parents' end game could possibly be to kick-start the return of a world with once extinct races.

I agree that it would be very odd for only Crim's mom to be a vampire and no one other mythical race to exist. However when you start factoring in 'real mythical races' as a plot point the game may not even be a game.

That depends entirely how the story goes about things. I don't remember how much of this has been revealed, so, just in case:

Spoiler

This story makes it clear it's a game created by Kou's parents and their company specifically for the purpose of entertaining Kou while the pod changes him to either vampire or human (the gender swap was a surprise, since male vampires do exist). It even describes how a super advanced AI designed by Kou's mother and the quest design team manages all the NPCs and actively creates quests for players (bith individually and collectively) depending on how they and others around them interact with the world.

That is consistent with the premise but without knowing the source material I don't trust it to stick to only that. To begin with we don't know why the other players with unique races are given them at this point, the thing about DNA was only mentioned in relation to Crim.

I think your idea of about detecting traces of mythical DNA is possible but when we consider that Crim's mom existed as an actual vampire prior to the cradle it seems odd that only Vampires would [still] exist in the real world if descendants of other races exist. And so for example some of the other "unique races" may exist in the real world (or some parallel world) and they're simply playing as what they really are.

The game world could also be based on a parallel world and is meant to get many people, not just Kou/Crim, used to it. Even if Kou/Crim's parents have a known motivation the question of how they funded this project and created the technology (especially the medical technology capable of altering a person's body, not just the game) is still an opening where a twist could appear. I am just considering possibilities.

The manga has added a lot more than the WN had, and has done a much better job at handling the gender bend part so far. I hope it doesn't stick to the source material, as the source material broke my suspension of disbelief.

To begin with we don't know why the other players with unique races are given them at this point, the thing about DNA was only mentioned in relation to Crim.

That is true, my theory is not something I can guarantee.

And so for example some of the other "unique races" may exist in the real world (or some parallel world) and they're simply playing as what they really are.

I can confirm that, in the WN, the vast majority of players with unique races are human whenever their 'IRL' side is brought up or shown. Furthermore, Hinagiku and her mother (who is friends with Kou's mother from 20 or so years back), in particular, were shown to seemingly have some kind of very weak supernatural thing going on, but both understand themselves as human with a somewhat mysterious lineage (no powers, just a good sixth sense).

The game world could also be based on a parallel world and is meant to get many people, not just Kou/Crim, used to it. Even if Kou/Crim's parents have a known motivation the question of how they funded this project and created the technology (especially the medical technology capable of altering a person's body, not just the game) is still an opening where a twist could appear. I am just considering possibilities.

I was pretty sure it was spoiled, but Kou's parents are brilliant engineers who helped found a company that became to VR what Microsoft was to PCs back in the Windows 7 era. They were key players in advancing the full dive VR technology, and as a result, are billionaires.

Now, I stopped reading at the chapter ~130(?) mark (all the characters forget that their necklaces all have built-in calling and texting because the author wanted what the author wanted), and it's certainly possible in the future they start doing what you're proposing might happen. Their company did buy a famous Japanese island and turn it into a luxury hotel AR experience.

"Does this remind you of any youtubers or streamers?"

Basically any vtuber playing a videogame, lmao. I feel like the number of vtubers where people watch them for actual gaming skill vs just using games as another activity to be cute during is very small.

I know one agency who does that. VSPO is both CGDCT and serious gaming skills
