New world characters are not NPCs, they're actually the original inhabitants of the new world. However, they can be brought back to life and loses level, and they can level up like players as well, but cannot break the level cap, which is still a mystery. The famous fan theory is that a world item may have alter the new world's mechanism and turn it into a YGGDRASIL's game mechanism.

Because the anime is just for advertising for the light novels and won't put full detail of it.
