So after five months of stalling the novel (in which I've been stuck on Chapter 7 until I opened the game again last December 11), I finally finished the whole thing. Granted that it was another Liarsoft title, after finishing Forest and Shikkoku no Sharnoth in the past, I went into reading this with high expectations. Sadly, since theater life pretty much consumed what should have been my 'free time', I had to stall reading this. Now that I've finished the visual novel, I can now say that it did not betray my expectations. It was great. Time to type in my thoughts about the visual novel. Before reading the web novels: After reading the web novels: Everything about Chapter 11 became even more painful. The dream sequence got me struggling, and the segment where Porshion talked to her in the Seventh Tier just killed me. The whole epilogue focused on Ati's quest to regain what she lost in the past ten years because of the 'right hand of evil', and her searching for the Traveling Doctor was just really painful to read. Painful in the sense that a lot of emotions were being triggered in her search. The most intriguing part of the segment was really M. Why was M there? How could M see Ati's golden eye even if it wasn't evident in their first meeting? I would say that he could sense it since it was always there, but that's just my take on it. Besides, he's not necessarily human anyway. This part of the webnovel gave a sort of closure to Ati's case, making her remember the person that was most important to her. It ended at Ati finally stating the name of the person she had been looking for, Gii. God, it was nice. I can't really put it into words properly, but it was really nice. Miscellaneous Thoughts: I became even more interested in the world where these visual novels are set in, so I guess I'll read Gahkthun soon enough. I just hope the others are translated as well. But that probably won't happen anytime soon, so I'm better off reading Japanese. Whelp, till then. Yes, I necro'd the thread. I told you guys I'd revive it in the future. I hope that's enough to make up for me being too lazy to finish this earlier. Now, on to Swan Song.
