The update is going much slower than expected but I trust the dev as he is upholding the quality and no doubt it will be just as good as always. I hope we are getting closer to finding out what the virtual game is really about
I like to think that the "cameos" are just said setting's version of the character, and that they are in no way related to their original counterpart.
Meaning the Alex of the Niichan verse is not the Alex of the Caribdiverse. Same goes with the Moon who's a gym instructor in Kredon, Darci in Mistbury, Falazio in the Andromeda Server, Chang in Ardoria, and Judie in Riverside. They may look the same (and prolly act a little bit of the same), but that's where the similarities end.
At least Pitrik received a consolation gift since Gerty's not a main girl. It does concern me if somebody does come one day to the thread and tries to claim her as well. Wonder how that one's going to play out.
