Wait, so what happened to their parents' marriage in the reset timeline?

I think he doesn't totally recover his memory but may recall snippets of memory. He loses his memory periodically but doesn't seem to forget Wu Xie and Fatty though there isn't an explanation of why.

I think he's in his thirties. It's mentioned in the scene with the seven Wu Xie heads that the impersonators have been pretending to be Wu Xie for twenty years since he was a teen (might be a lie, but if the age doesn't match, Wu Xie will know).

Wow, thanks for letting me know about Adventure Behind the Bronze Door! Enjoyed it a lot!

Is the turtle real? I have never seen such a cute turtle.

"Why is my tail on the wrong side of my body?!"

Does this interpretation satisfy you though?

If this is the intended interpretation, I wish they had nudged us towards it more. The idea of self-deception itself can even be interrogated--after all, with enough data, virtual reality is just as real as what we now know as reality (in a sense, what we can reality is arguably also data anyway). Then again, if such a feat is possible, it may prove to be no less dystopian a situation than that of a game that kills its players because there can be more than one god-like figure creating conflicting realities

Hoping there will be a sequel. The ending will be much more satisfactory based on what Mystic Guy explained below.

Is that even him in the current picture? I prefer the previous picture too.

Oh sorry, I thought you were asking about the series

Oh no, you didn't mishear. I meant to say that the voiceover said "30 years" even though at the start of the episodes, the words "50 years later" were on the screen. But I typed wrongly.

Can you tell me more about the original story?

At the beginning of Ep 78, it's said to be 50 years later though a voiceover later says 30 years later. It doesn't make a lot of sense as the other characters seem to have been waiting for a long time for Ling Jiu Shi though they have just been "created"?

Depends on which parts of the series. Some parts have a stronger horror element. E.g. one part of the story has the characters in a school haunted by the ghost of a girl who died in an accident.

This is a censored BL, so we don't see them becoming lovers.

Not sure if the boy who saved him from bullying is the same person in college, but it seems probable. There's no confession in Ep 52, just a revelation that he sent the game to him out of desperation because he can't think of anyone else who can help. and the intended version of the game is a something like a shared dream of theirs.

Ah, I misread your comment. I can't be sure why the title is The Spirealm, but it can possibly be broken down into "spi" and "realm", and "spi" is possibly short for spirit/spiritual.

The Spirit(ual) Realm can be a translation of the title of virtual reality game a character is playing at the start of the series. The game is called 灵境 (ling jing), which can possibly be translated as the spirit(ual) realm.

灵境 is also one of the Chinese titles listed above (converted from traditional to simplified Chinese). I haven't watched the series yet, so I can't be sure it this all makes sense.

It does literally mean something like Deadly Game. "致命" means Deadly, and "游戏" means Game.

I have seen Aou in quite a few series, but haven't really paid him much attention to him until Be My Favourite. He has a wonderful presence in this series despite playing a relatively minor role. Anyone else wants a Season 2 in which Max gets a boyfriend and a time traveling tool?

Oh, I thought the released episodes were taken offline from Chinese sites when the censors struck and the rest were uploaded on YouTube?

It feels a little strange to me that there may be a ban according to rumors, but the released episodes remain online instead of being taken down. Are there any precedents for something like this?
