With all that being said, when shit hits the fan with some rather whimsical elements, Sky 1 feels much more ambitious than it appears to be and I’m ready to place my bet on Sky 2. Apart from that, while I don’t have much issue with the MC carrying literally every fight, giving the side cast a chance to shine would have not hurt in all honesty. On a different note, there’re some serious plot conveniences there and then combined with a sudden increase in pacing at some climax which makes things not so convincing. While I understand one of its main purposes is to build up the cast but frankly it’s not really effective to me since it only makes things feel incohesive (switching back and forth) and even confusing because I had to keep up with so many events going at the same time to even have the luxury of appreciating or understanding the heroines. The constant bombard of flashbacks is understandable and makes sense from an in-verse perspective yet annoying regardless.
Regardless, they do make good “spice” for the story overall. They are not rare for sure but I always enjoy that kinda stuff, though it would be nice if they were pushed to 100% since I didn’t quite get the cathartic experience that I was expecting. If anything, it does have some good themes like war drama, AI conspiracy, and the meaning of being alive.
Kou be like "I've never seen this girl in my entire life" But for real, almost everything in this VN is laid out that way because I feel like they are not even trying to hide all of these foreshadowings or twists which is commendable yet a bit funny lmao (can be mindblowing at some points tho). Plot-wise, it is pretty straightforward for most parts. The grand scheme of things is interesting, but the lower plane containing multiple factions vying for supremacy can be further polished to make them feel a bit less dull. World-building is not too grandiose, partially thanks to the not so uncommon setting but the atmosphere has a bit of surrealism within which can be quite refreshing. Finally got the chance to get on the Baldr Sky train and that sure was a serious delay because I actually planned to read it like when it first came out on steam which is 2019 lol.
