For Lingyin, self-understanding.

Cristina 2022-03-25 08:01:01

Lingyin is a product of a tool that chaotically merges the real world with the online world. Someone wanted to use her powers to become a so-called god. The whole process is Lingyin's self-exploration, the id, and the denial and resistance that she belongs to the online world, which also shows that the real world is the proof of the true existence of the self. The ending is sad and happy. People in the real world let Lingyin wake up and choose to return to zero to save the world. Lingyin completely accepts that she is a god. Is that whether the online world dominates reality or reality can always modify the online world. After watching, it is thought-provoking.

Finally, I really like Lingyin's hair and the way she looks when her mood changes. In my opinion, she is always a kind girl who wants to be recognized and loved.
