I'm gonna finish this review later, on day like 1??, and my reaction is "🤔😯, Oh my GOD OLLIE, Ollieeeeee~ 🤩"

Overall, it's okay, not the best nor the worst 

My thoughts on the writing 🧠 ✏️:

Don't get me wrong but I do love myself a good stranded on an island and team work story, but the story seems a bit fast paced, lacks details on some areas and is a little cliché, meaning I'm not exactly getting attached to any of the characters in an emotional way, but it's good enough as is to get people to continue reading and wanting to know more but needs more emotional development and description for dramatic and immersion effect. The anime like humour is amazing, it's nice to see little chibi moments and references, does give me a smile at how cute it can be sometimes (I'm still waiting for that gay romance)

Characters and BG 🫂:

The character designs are very cute and I love the art style, it really adds to who these characters are (my favourite is Beru, he's a chubby teddy bear 🧸), the facial expressions are on point and little moments like by the fire together is really nice, really sets the mood very well. The BG is nicely made in addition, it's beautiful and adds to the aesthetics this story has made.

Music 🎵:

The music is calming and sits well with the aesthetics that you guys have place in and particularly for certain unserious moments as well which is a plus, would like more variety in terms of influencing emotion and nuance but well done.

Overall 🤷‍♀️:

It's appealling visually and aurally, well done art and BGs, music fits with majority of the scenes, writing will need more in depth description to give finesse, nuance, emotional attachment and generally keeping the viewers attention on the story without making it seem off the initial emotion in the scene but the writing currently is enough to keep the viewers attention for wanting more info. Humour in the writing is definitely a plus, making reading this enjoyable at times.

Will be giving this VN a chance over the coming updates (31/05/25)

Flabbergasted

I adore the story alot, it's one of the few stories that lets me get a good laugh, smile, shock and crying session, this have kept me immersed in so many ways because of how well written this story was, especially until the end of part 1

1. Characters are so well written, indulged me with loads of humour that I loved so much when reading stories like these, if you can make me laugh, you're guaranteed a loyal fan like me, not a wide variety of stories include such humane detail which makes this story feel even more real and relatable, these are very good qualities to have in a story. Character development  was the best thing ever, Cyrus's developement had never made me so proud, it makes me happy to see a character grow so well but also bittersweet, you'll see why when you read it, I'm not spoiling an inch. "Cooper" also has such an interesting character development and despite his first appearance, it's honestly satisfying to see he knows he was wrong in the first place and misses Cyrus despite his history, I won't say to much, just read!1!1!
2. The music is honestly kinda addictive, especially meandering, that's my favourite track, and the most played track at that, it just good for the Sci-Fi theme this entire story is about (I love sci-fi, I breathe it), music choice is so good in certain scenes, hits way harder than I'd expect, props to the composers
3. Character art and the art in general, is so Pinterest core, I can eat all of it and would want more, never stop feeding, I  love the story for the art as well, take the time and appreciation to admire the art artists poured their souls into making this masterpiece, one of the main reasons why this VN is so good, it's visually appealing. 

Overall, I love this story, for the themes of it, g a y, the art, the music, the well written literature, humour, it mixes very together with the most interesting concept I've seen in a while, I recommend giving this a read if you're into some romance, good plot twists, a good story to make you laugh and cry and appeals you visually and aurally :)

My general review of Khemia:

1. It's not bad overall, I still have hopes for the plot to be good as I know this world is diverse enough to contrast with alot of other concepts and I'm sure we're all wondering how this plot is going to play out
2. I'm curious to see if Marco's mission will affect our characters and the world itself, I'd really like to see the connection with Adastra and Khemia as a continuation of our favourite love couple, that's all I want really 😭 
3. I'm not a huge fan of the character redesigns, Amicus looks like a stiff animatronic which is very eerie to me as only his facial expressions moves but not anything else, it doesn't give off the same charismatic Amicus I know from Adastra which is a bit of a bummer, to put it lightly, I hope there's more movement for that authentic experience that I found in Adastra

Everything else is pretty beautiful I must say, quite the advancement for the last 2 games but it's falling a little, I still have hopes though from the future updates we're going to get 🙏
