[long comment]
i played up to chapter 2 when it first came out, but by the time i saw the update for chapter 3, you had announced that chapter 4 would need a fresh save so i held off on playing until it released. i don't regret waiting... but now i wish i'd waited even longer because i love your writing and this story and now i desperately want to read more :']
i had played viatica before you even announced cantata, and as soon as you did i knew i was going to love it, but man... playing through it again and getting to the new content has cemented its place as my favourite IF. your world-building is just amazing and i'm so in love with the story and its characters.
i fully realised the hold it has on me when it was building up to the end of ch3, and i could feel my heart beating in anticipation ><
i'll try to keep this vague so it's spoiler free, but the beginnings of ch4 and all the emotions were just so !!!!!! i love how you've done that storyline, the 2 vastly different experiences because of the same event and the different effects its had, agh </3
i won't say too much on the ending, but even though i had kind of been anticipating something similar happening, it Hurt;;
also, i adore vicente and i would do anything for them... i went into it intending to romance him because their kind of character archetype is what i usually go for, and i won't lie and say bayram and secret ro didn't make me reconsider, but seeing more of him and his interactions with the mc... i'm definitely going to be choosing him. i love their dynamic so much and i can't wait to see their relationship grow;;
sorry for the long rambley comment, i am just so incredibly invested and i eagerly await chapter 5 and any and all future updates. i hope you enjoy the process of creating them and that inspiration comes to you easily :] <3
