| 1 | * CompleteMonster: [[SmallNameBigEgo Simon Townshend]] is the incompetent new developer at Loincloth Entertainment. Initially dismissed by his peers as an incompetent boob, Simon discovers that the [=NPCs=] of ''[[{{MMORPG}} Mogworld]]'' have attained sapience, after using the Deleters to destroy Lord Dreadgrave's fortress and almost everyone inside. Simon allows [[FateWorseThanDeath the Syndrome]] to continue despite knowing they're sapient; empowers [[TheDragon Barry]], a priest with severe anger issues, to be his Herald; and allows him to subjugate and torture those under his command, aiming to take over Mogworld where, as Lord Si-Mon, he implements mandatory worship of himself. Simon uses his [[TheCracker hacking]] abilities to take away fellow developer Dub's access to the building, trying to ruin his life out of spite, and then tries to use Barry to steal money from Loincloth's payroll after torturing one of the protagonists by deleting her limbs one by one. |
| 2 | * CrossesTheLineTwice: Everything and anything Mr. Wonderful, the homicidal, psychopathic, cannibalistic, sadistic, masochistic elf does. |
| 3 | * FridgeBrilliance: The Epilogue. Jim is deleted, and the devs are trying to create tributes to his memory by making him the basis of important characters. However, it keeps breaking down because each "Jim" gets confused and complains that things don't feel right. Deleted data isn't actually destroyed forever; if you know what you're doing, you can get it back. |
| 4 | * HilariousInHindsight: The superhuman celestial warriors that are the player characters in the release build of the game are nearly dead ringers for [[TabletopGame/WarhammerAgeOfSigmar Stormcast Eternals]], who were introduced years after the book came out. Bonus points for the reviewer in the end complaining that the humans you played as in earlier versions were more relatable, a common criticism of same. |
| 5 | * SpiritualAdaptation: In a rather broad sense, it's a pretty good novelization of ''VideoGame/StarOceanTillTheEndOfTime'', as [[spoiler:the main character is an [=NPC=] in an in-universe video game, and the BigBad is a developer with a god complex]], the main difference being that this story is open about [[spoiler:the in-universe MMO aspect]]. |
| 6 | * {{Squick}}: |
| 7 | ** Any scene involving Jim getting repaired by Meryl. Not even the fact that he only interprets the pain rather than feeling it helps much. |
| 8 | --->Mr. Wonderful froze, smiling thinly. Then in two sudden movements he slapped his hand on the desktop and cleanly severed it at the wrist. |
| 9 | ** Later in the same scene, he dies, respawns at the next chapel and comes back to eat his old body. |
