@Tofu I think they are probably going to return to the real world soon in the next few episodes. I just got the novel after it was released on 31st August, and I hope it gives me an inkling about what is going to happen in the end. Really hope for a happy ending!
@JenL Yes, I wished there was more explanation or development for some things but I guess I am enjoying the show enough to oversee that. And yes! Their chemistry is amazing! Even though Marcus is much older than most of them, it doesn't show at all. In fact, they seem like good friends around the same age!
