... If you win the game but aren't selected to come back to life, you can choose to become a Reaper instead. It comes with some benefits, apparently: immortality aside from erasure, powers, the ability to go between the... RG and UG at will?

And what Max said about Reapers being sadists was a bit of a misdirection. He did specify "most", but... infiltrating the players like this isn't a normal scenario, according to him. While a Reaper's duty is to carry out whatever job the Composer gives them, that doesn't necessarily involve erasure in every game.

[THIS ONE IS APPARENTLY JUST FUCKED UP.]
