Pure 2077 world view, no cross-border integration.
The story does not break up the official couple, the main characters are not invincible, and it is not a wish-fulfillment story.
The protagonist has only played the base game.
The protagonist gets hammered by a middleman, by a corporate operative, by a hacker, by AI, and by cyber surveillance.
Cyberpunk is dark; large corporations are giants, invincible. A single sentence from a team leader in a company can decide the life or death of a large group of people.
Is the Demon Lizard powerful? It's just an armored personnel carrier.
Is the Chimera any good? It's just a combat tank designed for special environments; it's not even as good as a light main battle tank.
Is the Hellhound mech powerful? It's just a security mech for a laboratory, only used to guard a group of laboratory personnel who have no combat capabilities.
Is Adam Hammer that powerful? He's just a security captain. Forget about Saburo Araizawa, Hanako Araizawa could fire him with a single word.
Was Bartmouth powerful? Was Morgan Blackhand powerful? They both went offline at the same time in the board game. The board wasn't even a faction's army or main combat equipment (there was military technology present, so the conflict couldn't be escalated, see the Sino-Indian border). Just a security team took down two legends.
In the game, V was able to kill his way through Arasaka Tower? That's because Arasaka Yoriken was fighting amongst himself, and V was just a tacitly approved weapon.
Furthermore, Night City is a neutral city, so we can't directly send company troops; all that comes are self-defense forces.
2077 uses the same storytelling techniques as The Three-Body Problem. A single probe, a security chief, and a small self-defense force are enough to overwhelm the legendary figures. This subtly hints at the company's terrifying power without needing to explicitly state it. If they really push you too far, the company might just use a mass accelerator to drop meteorites on you and crush you!
"I just cosplayed as Su Nuo, and I actually time-traveled?"
Hoshino Yu finds himself transformed into one of Sukuna's fingers in a strange world!
The world is full of evil spirits, but ordinary people can't see them?
Then Hoshino Yu discovered a serious problem.
The fact that ordinary people can't see evil spirits means they can't see fingers.
Being unable to see means being unable to touch or have one's body taken away.
"Wait, did she see it?"
Yotsuya Miko? How did I become a Nuo lama?!

Before the time travel, Su Mu guarded the reservoir, received five social insurances and one housing fund, fished every day, and lived a life of lying down. However, he touched a high-voltage line during a wild fishing trip and traveled to another world.
After the time travel, he still guarded the reservoir?
No, this doesn't seem to be a reservoir? !
.......
On this day, Su Mu, who was fishing in the long river of time, met the empress who was swimming upstream.
"Who is coming? Where are you going!"
"Go to the upper world to save people."
Looking at the empress in white, Su Mu put down the fishing rod and said faintly: "You can save people, but pay the toll."
.....

To those immortal emperors who recklessly flow against the river of time and destroy the order of time, Su Mu said:
"The past was the past, and the present is the present."
"If you all mess around, will I still be the governor of the river?"
"Also, you protagonists who pass through the river of time and travel to various worlds, don't you need to pay tolls for traveling?"
"No money now? Take out a loan, and sign a pledge."
The protagonists said with tears in their eyes: "Before traveling, I had a mortgage. Now that I have traveled through time, I still have to bear a "travel loan"??"
She failed to be promoted to a "witch" and died on the spot...
Her body, which should have rotted away, stood up again, and a soul from another world was stuffed into her body.
