Basic Ability Limits for Bell?

Hey, sorry if this has been asked before or if there's some Canon answer that I've just not been able to find, but I wanted to ask:

Is there a limit to how high Bell's Basic Ability stats can grow?

We've seen them grow as high as 1501 before, but is there an actual limit?

Has Omori tweeted or said anything about Basic Abilities having a true limit/ceiling that even Bell can't break through?

Will we eventually see Bell with stats in the 1600s? 1800s? 2000+?

I'm just curious about any official answer that may exist somewhere that I haven't found.

I figure that even Bell has to have some kind of limit somewhere, right? He's not meant to be some Mega-OP MC like Ainz from Overlord, or Rimuru from Slime, or the hundreds of other MC's that can end their worlds if they felt like it.

Any help finding an answer is greatly appreciated! I'm not usually able to keep up with all of Omori's tweets, so perhaps the answer lies in one of them and I've just never found it?

No. The 999 limit is supposed to be the one and absolute limit, but as someone who has surpass it Bell has, until proven otherwise, limitless room for growth.

It is true that not every MC is as OP as others, but every protagonist is overpowered for their universe. The only difference really is just how much.

Whether we will ever actually see Bell's stats reach as far as the 2000s is doubtful, but it definitely would be possible for him to go so far.

Thanks for the answer!

So... doubtful he'd ever get to the 2,000s, I agree...given that he was beaten the ever-living shit out of by Freya Familia over and over and over again for 'training' which got his Defense/Endurance to SSS 1501.

Not sure WHAT kind of fight with what kind of Monster could ever push the stats that high again, probably nothing that we'd ever see in-story.

Actually, Liaris Freese's effect is proportional to Bell's feeling so Bell reaching 2000 stat might not be that questionable. Who knows if he can get 5 times the amount of excelia he normally gets if he receives a kiss from Ais before fighting.
