Okay, here's how it works. Infinite multiverses, and Akane finds herself in one where Radical 6 broke out. So why not just transfer herself to one where it didn't? As a matter of fact, that's what her plan will do anyway, only in more bullshit and convoluted ways- it puts her from this branch of the timeline to a different branch of the timeline. As an Esper, she is certainly capable of jumping to a different, more desirable timeline, should she wish to. So why the entire bullshit with the Nonary Game at all?
Not just that, but she can't just erase the timeline where Radical 6 did break out- it can't be done, there will always be at least one timeline where the set of possibilities led that to happening, that's the point of multiverses, there will always be at least one timeline where a set of possibilities conspired to lead to the current round of events. She what exactly is she trying to do? Get to one where it didn't? Why go through this charade for that? Or is she trying to delete this timeline? Because that can't be done, period.
The premise is flawed, the story is self defeating. They either did not understand the principle they were using to frame the story, or they gave up about halfway through and hoped no one would notice. As a matter of fact, this reminds me of the issue Gods of War 2's story faced, where time travel fucked up the laws of causality. That is what this game is doing here. God of War II had a moment where Kratos went back in time- instead of having gone back in time, and stopping Zeus from killing him, he could have chosen to go back in time and stopped himself from killing his family, rooting out the prime cause for all of these issues. VLR is making a similar oversight- not only can Akane simply choose to transfer to a different timeline (because this timeline will exist, no matter what) without having to go through the Nonary Game, but that's what she should do. What she is doing instead? Unnecessarily convuluted and makes no sense.
