I really enjoyed this story, the virtual reality you pushed Nino into was a great allegory for him learning about his flaws and finding solutions on how to change them and develop a better game than before. This was a really educational trip for him, wasn't it? ^^ I hope he also learned that it's OK to accept help from others. I felt like despite having those "assistants" created to solely help him in the game, Nino was being stubborn, refusing Sho's help in the beginning… and I wonder if after Nino's return to reality, he let Sho help him with the game. Anyway, I loved Ayber, MJ-II and Big-No since I love their character design so so much (especially Ohno's) xD so yei for the references to the CMs! Their characters were interesting! =) Also, I didn't expect Nino to really try "kill" Ayber, even if he's "only" a game character. That was mean, Nino >.<" Good that Ayber is such a nice nature and doesn't take it personal?

Thanks for sharing this!
