I feel like I have seen the idea of npcs coming alive done dozens of times since log horizon. And yet most of them still treat all the people in their worlds as game devices even in their new living breathing world. Its such a lost opportunity for personality, conflict and characterisation that I guinely get surprised when I see a show like Overlord and Re: Zero that treats even small time characters as fully realised people.

So many shows will take such an interesting possible premise and just assign these facinating new humans 2 word to 1 sentence personalities. Fit only to fill a single role in the story.

And yet I hope when ever I see the concept that I will get another overlord or standing on a million lives.

Well, here the npc if they are treated as real people since they have real stories and backgrounds shown in the volumen 2 with the adventurers who accompany Mira.
