Yeah, it seems that she do not agree.

I think I've said it before but I believe the reason she's relegated to "side" is likely because of how much she's tied to the main plot of the game compared to the rest of the girls, and so her progression is likely more tied to the decisions you make in that regard. As such, she doesn't get to have any dedicated events outside the main story like the other LIs, as doing so will likely be a tedious thing to write (like imagine having to take breaks from story progression because Orion has to "visit" Caly in Ekabar every now and then, not to mention the fact that he doesn't have good reason to even visit her as prior to 0.6 he likely sees her as an advanced AI that doesn't need "tending to" compared to the rest of the LIs...which is likely going to change as the story progresses if our time with her in the Blackridge server was any indication).

Calypso is also a special case in term of LI, she is tied to Orion with a spiritual/psychic bond I would say, where the others LI have a bond that is created normally. She know when Orion is in Eternum, and where he is, she can teleport instantly to him and Orion can summon Calypso. For the others LI, she has to search them before she can open a portal next to them.

Perhaps she is an LI but in the side girl because she will always be with Orion even if you are in a single LI route ending or perhaps you can only have her in the Harem route ending.

Or the LI screen will now change since Orion will not see her as just an advanced AI anymore in the future.

...I have a contrary opinion on the matter but uhhh...

...

/glances at his file marked "TAILS SCENARIO - HAREM ENDING THEORY (WARNING: DO NOT OPEN/SHARE UNTIL HYPOTHESIZED FUTURE STORY CONDITIONS ARE MET)" on his folder of crackpot theories

...

...yeah, I'll just save that for another time, I think (lol).

I would actually theorize the other way around. She is not part of the normal LIs because she won't end up being part of the harem and instead either die or return home.

So more of a tragic LI then ? Well I did think that if you can only have Calypso in the Harem route ending, and there is no route for her, it would be because of one of these 2 possibility. Would be sad about it, she is in my top 3 or 4.

Wasn't trying to insist that its a game, I do believe its more than that, but I was just trying to explain it in the way its been mostly portrayed so far. We haven't been given an explanation yet as to what Eternum really is beyond "just a game". Sure the MC's party has seen shit to say otherwise, but we still don't know whats really going on besides they thought they were just playing a game originally. I do believe technology plays a bigger role than what others have said though. Right now we have technology mixed with magic. Nova's hacks still work even if the results are difficult and limited in their use. Keep in mind she doesn't have the inside knowledge that say an investor or business partner to Ulysses might have like that guy who showed us the NPC control device. Also, even Caly speaks of a "world of machines" and a means of using "artifacts of metal and light" when she first heard of hacking thinking it was magic.

My point with Caly, was that she still has her memories/personality of being real which was a result of being "incomplete" as the MC says when she's released. I think they were trying to change/control her with the box artifact, whether you want to think of that as via technology or magic. I think its both, technology enabling magic that the user doesn't have the capacity to use on their own. As for things not matching what one would expect from an MMO type game, well the game's tagline is "more real than real". Its passed off to the general public by the devs as just a game that has incredible immersion and realism, so much so that you might not question it was a game. If general players questioned the lack of such standard things you mentioned, then no one would believe its just a game. We know better because we're seeing things from the MC's perspective. The average player wouldn't even think about it and would just play.

Your last remark about "remotely hack a secure casino computer in record time to feed it false info." is exactly what I would call modifying variables "in-game". I don't recall it ever being mentioned it was remote, she was right there staring at the computer when it happened. Every other hack we've seen Nova do has been done when outside the game except for that one.
