@GethN7, Just wanted to say thanks for starting this thread. I can’t seem to find clear answers about this and I don’t think Wikia will help.
Now for some questions:
1.) What kind of game did Chris get into? Is this a actiony game or more like an interactive movie disguised as a game? Is it a difficult challenge to beat? Is it a long game with stuff like optinal quests? What is the replay value?
2.) What is this plot? Are these goddesses representing video games at war against each other or against a common enemy like pirates, because I’ve read both.
3.) Is there substance to the plot? Is the plot interesting and the dialogue witty? Or is it just action and bewbs? Or is it a bit of both?

1. Chris so far has gotten into the anime, which features a mishmash of the plots of the second and third mainline Neptunia game, with some original bits included.

As for the games themselves, they vary. They are turn-based RPGs with a nice side helping of visual novel tropes. The challenge varies for each game, difficulty generally being average unless you just use the DLC that lets you power through without any effort, though some sidequests and bonus bosses can be ridiculously hard. There is a lot of side content, but you can avoid most of it if you just want to speedrun, but the games encourage multiple playthrougths for total completion, and in some it's necessary to see all the endings.

2. The plot is based around the four main characters: Neptune, Noire, Blanc, and Vert, each of which represent Sega, Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft, with Neptune being the main character in most mainline games, though spinoffs let other characters have the spotlight.

Each game covers a certain theme:

1. The console wars in general.
2. AKA Mk2, the one that covered a war against software piracy. Set in a reboot of the universe of the first.
3. AKA Victory, which covers the Golden Age of Gaming (the 90s in particular) and has a plot that covers the Great Video Game Crash of 1983 (the villain is based off this).
4. AKA Megadimension/Victory II. Covers the Dreamcast's rise and fall as a game console, with some side plots exploring various AAA game developers and their origins and the state of gaming journalism and how it affects the industry.

The spinoffs also have their own subthemes.


3. The plots themselves aren't really complex. In fact, they are pretty cliche, but that's to be expected, since they are metaphors for obvious aspects of the gaming industry. The real meat of the interaction comes from how the characters interact and how all the lore of video gaming is referenced. The dialogue is actually slightly different in the American and Japanese versions, with the American being more injokey and meta at the request of the original creators to the translators, as they figured Americans would appreciate more humor, while the Japanese versions are slightly less so, but not by that much.

And yes, there is a ton of fanservice, but given how self aware the series is, it often mocks itself for this, and when it comes to creepy fuckery like pedophiles, the series makes no bones about how damn disgusting they are, with a shameless pedo being a villain in the second game, and even his fellow villains find him barely tolerable at best.

So there really is dialog in the games saying that creepy NEETs need to stop jerking it to prepubescent anime children?

The second game has one long and impossible to miss section where they repeatedly call CFW Trick (the pedo) a sick fuck and that he needs to have his ass beat for it.

The anime has basically everyone taking turns beating the shit out of him for being a lolicon, and even one of the villains is happy to leave him to his fate because even they are disgusted with his perversions.

It's safe to say that nobody like CFW Trick (Trick the Hard for max weeb points).

I see.

And how does the series mock the fanservice in itself? Like is it mean-spirited, friendly...?

I hear it also mocks otaku, but I take it it's in a lighthearted way seeing as how otaku would likely be a significant portion of the market.

I think he was going to PVCC at the time.

One of the game enemies you fight in the early cave levels in the first game are fat sweaty nerdy otakus.

Also the game considers them not to be Human, but animals

Generally in a lighthearted fashion, though the series will occasionally get a bit serious with the mocking if it's plot relevant (one part of Victory II had Blanc get huge boobs in a dream sequence and became such an insufferable ass her little sisters liked her a lot less than when she was flat). On the other side, Vert and her usual smugness over having a large chest has gotten some mocking when she's either outclassed by someone else or in the anime she even got called "all boobs and no brain" once, which honestly ain't far from the truth at times.

It's mockery of otaku tends to go both ways. Some of the mockery is lighthearted, though some is quite vicious, generally reserving the nastier mockery for the more jacked up aspects of fandom, with the general message that fandom is good, being a rabid fanatic is not.

So my question is this:

Chris has liked a lot of different shows and animes in the past. Why is it now he’s flooding sonichu universe with new shows? Two days ago he added some crazy MPL dimension shit. Now it’s a video game character? What’s happening in the real world that’s turning the autism dial to 9001?

In regards to the question about how Chris doesn’t get offended by the shows remarks about fat man children.... Chris doesn’t see himself as a fat man child. So he doesn’t get offended. Chris believes he’s a normal build trans girl with beautiful blue hair like that sailor moon character.

That's fine and dandy if Chris Chan had any sense of critique whatsoever, which he lacks of.

Heck MLP themselves had a full on episode mocking the "rabid critics" on fandoms who keep harassing the cast or their writing decisions, during the same time where he was harassing Doopie, and yet he saw himself as a victimised artist in it rather than the "fan" aspect.

Since he already ingrained in his mind that he's this Uzume, then he's already convinced that he is a sweet vidya gamer gal fighting disgusting MALES and any mockery or the irony of it will fly right by him.

It's evident that Chris has gotten into Neptunia for the gratuitous fap fodder, and I find it concerning that he decided to include the series' two main lolis in his comic for seemingly no reason at all. This is happening a month after learning that Chris also enjoys Shadman's works.
