is there romance/fl in this?
No. There are female characters but beyond them being family/friends/subordinates, there's no relationship.
What about that burn mark girl, their was clear indication of romance tho, does it not progress any further? Is she not the fl?
The closest we get to a female lead is the elven saint girl. And even then it's not really. He mostly treats her like a subordinate.
sooo... nothing is real. the scientists were doing their whole vr play for... something? and he just pulled a whole earth out of his ass. alright, then.
