Hello, I've recently started to read this AVN, after reading about how much people praised it on other game threads and the premise caught my interest(it reminds of the first half of Sword Art Online first season premise, when the Eternum MMO was brought up in-game). So, I'd like to share my thoughts on it. Currently I'm close at the beginning, just after the first day at school. From the characters Orion has met so far, I like Chang and Annie, because they have good friendship chemistry with Orion and few good jokes I've seen in the story so far (Chang having a legitimate interest in Michaela, was unexpected and the Dark Souls 3 Vordt's Boss theme completely unexpected for me and got me a good laugh), Nancy and Dalia are wholesome and I like Dalia's Tomboy attitude, Penelope is a bit too vain for me, after the first meeting with Axel I'm waiting for bad stuff to happen to Orion after he punches Axel and I think he deserved it for not hearing Annie's "No", Luna's looks pretty, but her introduction scene was a jumpscare though after that pretty wholesome. I'd say, Annie, Nancy and Luna are my favorites from possible romance options.
Now for the DREAM. Or should I say the Nightmare. The moment I saw room and the little boy, I was, "Please don't turn around, please don't turn around, please don't turn around.". Luckily the boy didn't have a jumpscare, but the next scene, the Lady in the Ruins did, and oh boy I was not prepared. The "Twinkle, twinkle little star" song rendition from Dead Space trailer(that I learned about from MandaloreGaming's review of that game) was my first sign this is not going to be a nice scene. That one still spooked me easily. The question I had after the DREAM, was - Does Orion have an experimental Ulysses Implant and he doesn't know about it, because he says he doesn't own one and he doesn't play Eternum, or does he have some sort of repressed trauma? Guess I'll find out following the rest of the story. So Thanks to the Devs, I'm looking forward to the rest of the story.
