"But can the other gui register merits (Ghost Face, for example), or is this something Kunlun did to Shen Wei specifically? *is still unclear; may possibly be talking around in circles, sorry*"
Ooooh, that's a great question! I just automatically assumed that they can simply because they're not ~actual ghosts~, but it doesn't have to mean that at all, so it's entirely possible that they cannot. Then Shen Wei would be able to do it because of Kunlun who made him part-god, yes!
"Right! I found the whole dream sequence ~so~ confusing in the drama, until we figured it out during the rewatch, and now it's fallen right out of my head again, which bits were real and which were part of the dream(s)... (The crying in the SID library is real, and completely heartbreaking.)"
That's kinda exactly how the novel backstory works for me, lol - even when I remember what happened, I keep forgetting which parts actually happened in-world, even after I already figured some of them out. xD (And the crying in the drama is probably the main thing I thought was real, glad to be right, but also not because SAD, lol.)
