Otherworld TRPG Game Master Chapter 50 Discussion

As of now I've decided to read ahead a little with using MT chapters. But so far from what I can tell it has a lot of potenial.

Essentially it follows a transmigrator from modern day Korea to the typical medieval age swords and magic world. Some interesting thought processes' here and there and he decides to use illusion magic as a way to create TRPGs and VR games (think SAO but better and safer).

To be honest, the TRPG element (as of now) isn't shown, it follows a more DnD sort of element in his games (i.e., a preset scene idea and the "player" has to go through with it, with him as the overarching game master).

For example; the 2nd prince comes to the magic tower to see what's up with this magic, only to get s**ked into his preset theme - he caused the ruin of the kingodm - despite it being reiterated it's an illusion, and acts as if what's happening has actually happened

It's established pretty early on that creating these TRPGs are his main desire so you can expect a lot of misunderstanding comedies and tropes to come of out it through his fervent pursuit of creating these different scenarios. The author knows how to insert some meta-humor into the chapters so if you're a fan of series like JJK, or just typical book tropes you can expect to see some humor around them.

What I think is really interesting is that there's no cliche power systems in place - aside from basic, archmage/sword masters exist - it's pretty simplistic and fun, it's just a guy wanting to make cool games and him using academy students or royalty as test subjec- players..... for his "dimensional magic"-esque Virtual Reality system

The author does a great job at really describing things with his writing style, it makes it easy to actually picture the scenes and how they run and draws up some really interesting implications with some of his plot points which causes you to be hooked to future chapters on either how the point continues or it's resolved

Spoiler

If a pre-programmed NPC in his game-like illusion world gains sentience, is it still an NPC and is it still an "illusion" for either player or NPC?

A word to note is that it's not immensely fast-paced, since the author takes his time in describing some of his scenarios and the VR world the "player" is in, you can expect it to be in a slightly similar format to SSS-Class su*cide Hunter (specifically around the scenes when he goes into different books to enact their scenarios).

TLDR: Bit of a nutty transmigrator hell-bent on making some of the coolest VR RPGs that illusion magic can allow, at the cost of some player's sanity :')
