Nota

I like the concepts and the presentation, but not the execution. The intentions and plot points can quickly conclude in regular conversations, I dont see it as bad, but can be confusing. The world building is good, at first there's a lot of explaining and not showing tho, at parts it feels like worldbuilding takes priority over the characters, the peak of that is part 3.

The main character is intentionally unbearable in part 1, but the road to get to the development is more painful than engaging a lot of the time. There's focus on some characters that dont have any relevance later. It has a very beautiful ending, especially the one you get after beating the game.

In part 2 there's not much focus on the heroine. The conclict continues in the main character and gets a somewhat neat conclusion.

In part 3 we dont see the heroine develop after her horrific life, her whole character is all the horrible things that happened to her and them trying to resist them. Which is very sad, but maybe let us at least see them develop into a someone after they get put through so much. Also how is waiting forever in bad end count as redemption, it is sad but again they chose to not live their life when so many died for this. The second heroine's conflict in this part is neat, you get to see a flawed part of them clearly. The main characters belief system gets broken here and its neat.

Overall, I liked it, but did not feel much connection to the characters.
