Ouch, just three months life expectancy?
When converted to game's time it's just a year.
I really hope that she can life longer, even if it's just in the game.

 

[Tju]

she'll probably get isekaid if she successfully clears the game before dieing. or something like that.

 

[Inori]

Huh, okay. Not sure if pure isekai is possible in such a sci-fi setting, but perhaps they can digitize her consciousness or something? That would be nice, too... as long as the servers are working.
Man, that's depressing.

 

[AnnePackrat]

So some dickhead got distracted during her creation and she’s got a death sentence now? WTF. I do not want this future.

 

[Hypemancer]

Oh, Korea and dystopian capitalism, name a more iconic duo

 

[Durr]

Doc looks a LOT like the Grand Duke. Coincidence? I THINK NOT

 

[Scrabbleman]

She's definitely gonna die in the Game Pod and wind up actually be in the game itself, except without the game mechanics.

Tbf, I'm sure there are babies who got defect from careless doctors or parents that is long lasting to the baby and entirely preventable.

 

[Rainmoarr]

I guess they don't have CRISPR-Cas9 in this universe

True. And then there’s the whole Thalidomide Baby Scandal. Maybe if Nazi war criminals developed your drug and didn’t test it you shouldn’t trust it.

 

[BakedBanana]

The real life parts are actually pretty interesting.

 

[NIPHY]

Well Dang! I hope she can live in the game now

I just wrote in the last chapter's comment thread that we're just sitting around waiting for the actual story to start, and here we are. We'll have to see if this actually goes somewhere, or if it's ignored for another six chapters or so like last time...

I'm still a bit confused about the whole hierarchy thing - like what's the point of the whole tier system if being at the top tier possible for a factory-born still doesn't have doctors that can fix you, and the tiers above can't fix you either because... they don't deal with this kind of problem in the first place? So despite the society being capable of mass-producing human life, and someone had to have made a mistake somewhere to cause this death sentence in the first place, nobody has the capability to fix this?

Like I'd understand if it'd just be prohibitively expensive or the heroine could never get the clearance, but from how the conversation with the doctor went it seems like literally nobody can help her even if they wanted to. I'm sure this is narratively supposed to line the heroine up with her character in the game, but this just feels like a weird setting choice when she could've just had cancer or something and not have all this weird future tech clone nonsense.

Where the FUCK was Capitalism mentioned here?

Where the FUCK was Capitalism mentioned here?

An ongoing criticism of Korean society has been showed off in their media lately. Probably the most prominent example is Squid Game showing how hard it is for people who have been set back (whether from their own actions or someone else's) makes it incredibly difficult to climb back into society. IIRC the protagonist was fired from his job and spiralled - and the reason being he was willing to actually hold a strike which was met with force and some co-workers died from the scuffle. There's also the constant talking about how children are pressured to study to an extreme extent where they have very little if any free time, even if it's not inherently capitalist in this regard it is HIGHLY COMPETITIVE. The term Hell Joseon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell_Joseon) began circulating to reflect how some of the populace feel about their socio-economic circumstances.
Also, a lot of Korea is owned by just a few select corporations known as Chaebol which well, you can see the link there.

While Capitalism is not explicitly mentioned here, the structure of a society where people are being literally made to do jobs and are discriminated against by the natural born, I mean, come on.

 

[XenoAshura]

it's one of those story where the "real world" is more interesting than the game one.

Ooooof this gives me flashbacks to reading Brave New World in sophomore English class….
