Bc the thing about it is is im so Not against "it was all a dream/a game/ a simulation" twist reveals at all. I, very obviously, LOVE them. Its my favourite type of story element honestly. And danganronpa knows how to do it well because it Did do it well with SDR2. Like everything that happened in the simulation wasnt real but it was still impactful. Just because it wasnt real it doesnt mean it didnt mean anything and thats the important part of that trope is making the story still matter even if it technically "didnt" happen. So thats why V3 feels just. Particularly spiteful to me.
I think if JUST V3 had been a television show, I probs wouldve loved it. If it had left the rest of cannon alone, omg, insane crazy amazing what the hell! Bc that whole thing with them not knowing their real identities before the show is so cool. Such a cool evolution of the SDR2 twist. But I dont care even slightly because like actually how dare you look me in the eyes and say that all of the pain and sacrifice the THH cast made was for nothing and how dare you say that Hinata and the Remnant's choice to keep living was pointless because it wasn't real and it doesnt matter. I will never be convinced to like that ending. Sorry !
