Early impressions:
Like:
1) Protagonist has a personality for once and is esily the best highlight of the entire vn. I also really admire his desire to take on Wayfinder's mantle and settle all possible conflicts within the groups. Compared to other vn's where MC's usually just sit back and watch the love interest fighte for them this is a beath of fresh air.
2) So far his relatinship with companions is surprisingly mature and nuanced.
3) Love the resurgance of Norse Mythology in gaming lately
4) It's Nekojishi except leaps and bounds better in every way except the artsytle.
Speaking of
Dislike:
1) Art is kinda bad. Arkyn looks as ugly as original Sonic's design from the first Sonic movie. Lavan, you promised us redisign of the main trio around half a year ago. Where is it?
2) The fact that side characters are drawn in a new style only makes things worse since now two artstyles clash with each other.
3) Why do I need these plot irrelevant episodes about this Demien kid? I don't know anything about him, nor really care and he has absolutely nothing to do with the main plot. I can't stand when stories just jump from the one cahracter group to another, and the one that doesn't even has anything to do with each other at that, it breaks the pace of a story and creates a dissonance. If this kid will be plot relevant -- make his backstory cams ot of an organic character interaction between protagonist and his love interests, and if not -- just remove these entirely. On a side note human's empathy reserves aren't unlimited (my certainly don't) and we can't just attach ourselves to so many character at once. Please keep this in mind.
