Oh Boy. The game MC should obtain the red book from that island.
It makes sense to get it after the prologue...
If he opens it he will regain the memories from the previous gameplay, like what happened in chapter one with our protagonist
he did not kill them yet.
An aventure should be aware of his surroundings all the time, he may be sneaking upon them with his weapon only to show them how easly they could be killed by a someone else.
next chapter he may touch her with the blade and say - if i were an enemy you would be dead now-
HE said in the first chapter that the magic disconects the souls and memories
so it is possible that wars is not als
And als lost all his experience to wars, and become another persong by being shape from zero under new experiences
a kid does not have that many experiences acumulated, so wars...
When he explained the magic in the first chapter, he stated that the spell separates the souls and memories, so basically he just lost all memories and experience and sent them to someone else.
so the kids may not have the same souls as the eldest prince, just his memories.
That would explain...
why gender swaping at all. no more contribution for the story.
this could be isekai, real world is no long part of it.
and the vr world is practically a real world with true inteligent npc (aniamls/pet)
It happen to the best
.they didn't moved well enough so he think they would not be a problem
Like thinking that car will not move from it original position
there has nothing about genderswap in the last chapters, no longer his real self appear. this makes him a girl that identifies as a guy in any sense. No drama about his gender or his true self (guy)
