AI trying to get people to live their lives instead of killing themselves? Too fantastical, totally unrealistic.

Thanks for the chapter.

Interesting premise, let's see how this goes on.

Basically it’s got a SAO vibe, but a twist in this manga, people choose not to logout and stay in the game, even if it means dying in real life (even though ended up logging out because Hato advice and information). and the shocking part, Hato turns out to be a real AI, like Alice in Sword Art Online except here she’s fully virtual instead of having a robot body like alice


thank you for translating

 

[undeed]

so, basically reverse SAO
the twist idea is interesting, but it's still so stupid when you break it down

god damn, dropping all the nukes right at the start huh, the author better have the brains to keep that up

 

[zalagires]

interesting,
even before 2012 SAO boom
there is several manga with same virtual reality game theme
the closest i think is 2002 .hack // series
but with VR and intelegent AI development , its more close to 2005 korean manhwa YUREKA

From author and artist of npc village sim. This will be good.

From author and artist of npc village sim. This will be good.

That explains a lot, I wished NPC Village Sim kept going though, felt axed as shit.

 

[Mangamoz]

She would ABSOLUTELY start a nuclear holocaust with an innocent smile.

It's quite interesting how much this flips reality on its head. We have a realistic depiction of what would happen with such intense gaming (since some people are addicted to less) and then we have an AI going against them with "ethics". I have a feeling the AI will "learn" either that its an AI (if it doesn't know) and will feel live it can be real in the game or that the AI starts to utilize violence and codes to adjust and force players out

I feel like author established too much for a first chapter at this rate this manga might even end in 10 chapters

 

[chirpy13]

Oh no... She's a clanker...

This right after I read an old article about teens committing suicide after long exposure to ChatGPT. Not sure how I want to take this manga.
