does this answer your question :P
yeah, i've been into anime for a long time on and off, and seen my good share of isekai's, it just feels a bit too common and similar these days so i thought the sci-fi bit of time travel with "hidden powers" of an AI supercomputer & database could make for an interesting plot to how the hero/main character would let things play out
Oooooh, I didn't know you were another anime fan. Well, I should have guessed it from the start, but the drawing thing really surprised me. 😅
And yes, Isekai has become quite common and overexploited in the world of anime these days. Since most works of this style are so generic, production companies prefer to "save" money by investing in works that are easy to make and consume. It's like the RomCom.
By the way, what you mentioned about AI as a machine with data and things like that reminded me of the play "I have a mouth and I want to scream" (I don't know how this would be translated into English, but anyway). It talks about a post-apocalyptic world where a supercomputer controls humanity and things like that, very interesting, really (although I still need to read it as such 😅). But in the world of film and television, there are several works inspired by this work. It would be great to add that as part of your game's lore, as well as some kind of final plot twist or something similar where the AI itself becomes the main enemy. 🤔
And thank you so much for the Scrobble recommendation, I'll have to check that out. 🤔
