Well, at least Kleeyook is still arguing only the relevant parts...

I think we're all missing a point here. These FluctLights souls have no idea to begin with that they're actually just recreations of a soul by computers. They've been raised by researchers initially to believe that in their world, gods really do exist amd that's the reason for all magical phenomena.

This brings up a psychological argument. Say, you're in RATH's FullDive machine, with its 100% realistic rendering, and you've lived there your entire life. Unless your 'god' suddenly appeared before you, and informed that this world is a testing ground, how would you know you're simply a soul in a computer. If you're not anyone important, just your regular villager trying to make ends meet, is that even going to come to mind?

How the web novel got to the point of Underworld moving against Real world, I don't know. But this sheer inability to know is what protects the Underworld residents to begin with. We're having all these issues with assigning them status because relative to them, we're gods, and we're debating on whether to grant them equal status.

Can we just consider breaking the barrier between UW and RL moot until more volumes come out?
