Well, that was.... strange.

Huh, the big reveal was the only thing that saved this story a little.

It was an okay idea, but poor in execution. Mostly cause they tried to cram too much stuff in a few chapters.

>I can die now
neat

5/10 bog standard battle royale with an unsurprising twist at end, but at least it was short and to the point while hitting all the expectations you'd have of a battle royale story

I think it would have been better if it was just a computer simulation instead like Black Mirror's "Hang The DJ". In fact, I'd watch that episode for sure.

 

[ZeeVee]

@casualqueue: yeah, that would have made more sense. I mean:
1. Creating a human clone and loading it with memories implies a level of biotech high enough to be able to completely hijack somebody's senses and immerse them in a VR world anyway
2. Creating human clones would automatically be more resource-intensive than VR
3. Creating human clones would automatically be slower than VR (tissue only grows so fast — we'd be talking months and months to make a full-sized human)
4. Ignoring all of that, creating virtual clones in a VR world would be faster and simpler
5. Using clones would be absolutely fatal PR (and possibly legally as well) if even a hint of the practice leaked out — the maximum possible upside is tiny compared to the risks being run.

 

[Clover_Zero]

Agreed with the people below.
At least it's short and quick updates.

 

[codetaku]

Wow that ending was stupid as fuck! A clone shouldn't just be hunky-dory with the idea of dying. Fuck that!

 

[Ominous]

For the most part, you can predict who is most likely to die in each chapter based on how much character exposition they get in it. Hell, actually, I called out about 3/4 of the last remaining members based on the character list, just by judging what role they were most suited to play by appearance - Protagonist, Heroine, Antagonist, and the Beauty. Turns out the remaining 1/4 died first. Welp. For the most part, I think this was an interesting and quick read for what's it worth, it's not anything real profound, but I like seeing tension at work.

 

[Tarlo]

That, was a Sonatine recall?
