An amazing novel in a world that's so full and ambitious. I'm in love with the lore and setting. And I don't think I've ever played a VN that made me care so much about my motives, decisions, or the characters-- romantic and not.

My only concession is that choices can sometimes be so ambiguous that you don't feel like you're making your own decisions. The differences between answers is sometimes subtle (or a matter of personality) making the implications more vague and results surprisingly unintentional.

Some of that can be good so that the characters have personality and you make some mistakes, but there's a balance to be met so that you're also actually making a choice toward your relationships. Especially when the results can carry so much weight. -- This isn't every instance but it's often enough to mention.

That said, I've really enjoyed my time playing. There is still a lot of story left to tell but I hope wish this novel the best and hope it continues to evolve over the next few years!
