It's really hard to talk about the novel without using the spoiler tag and I made sure of not spoiling anything but yeah I do agree that one particular part was a bit too much yet there is an explanation for it.
It goes without saying that the novel is not perfect but I praise it a lot because it does something different without trying to mimic or copy cliche stories that we have already seen many many times specially on EVN, and it does so with some amazing characters and some really good dialogues between them, some of the conversations between Ausse and Ciar are too damn funny, the part with the reference to katawa shoujo I was laughing out loud and I don't usually do so, add philosophy and a real drama to it and you have an excellent visual novel that you don't find every day.
