I finished the novel yesterday, and I love it. Found out about this because I bought part 2 in a bundle, and I obviously can't read part 2 before part 1.
But there is something that bugs me: how does Lucy doesn't come to the conclusion that the characters are robots?
01 eyes glow in the darkness. She never thinks of an explanation.
Everyone is named after a number. 01 even states that they don't have a name, and that it's just an ID tag. Lucy cames with her own answer.
03 is shown being, let's say, in an "non presentable" state, and 01 fixes her (dunno if being specific is a spoiler). I understand that Lucy is shocked, but after some time instead of thinking how is possible a person can look "normal" after that, she just kinda accepts it.
04's face obviously looks metallic.
At the very end 01 appears to be surprised since Lucy still doesn't understand about their "nature". Lucy doesn't know what a robot is?
By the way, I'm not bashing this novel, I genuinely like it, and I plan to also read parts 2 and 3. I'm just confused why Lucy hasn't ever thought in the slightest that her friend, her boss and her two siblings could be robots.
I dont like "playing" visual novels because you just read, a lot. If I wanted to read I would pick up book. I also dislike dating sims cuz, well, its just not my thing.
However, since I bought this from a bundle, I decided to at least try it instead of ignoring it. And its awesome.
It has lore, like, actual lore that is important: you could very well create any kind of work covering Noel's hundreds of years protecting the people in the limbo, just to give you any idea how much potential this game has.
The characters act like real people: its not like their entire personality is focused on their sexuality and gender, its just a part of them (unlike most of Netflix's works).
It has a good sense of humor to defuse serious moments: yeah, the villain has a big robot that could kill me (again), but at the same time the robot has NTR written on the forehead.
The dev (or devs) actually told a good story with some romance here and there that feels normal, instead of making a cheap dating sim where the romance options rotate around you without care for the world.
And I only have experienced one route, and partially.
Also, Mitts can create for herself a robotic hand, and I love robots.
Avast detected a virus after I started playing it, and I couldn't play anymore because the .exe literally dissapeared (I am sure it was thanks to Avast).
