Oh this. this was really really good. and I don't even care about the cliffhanger. if anyone has to bitch about cliffhangers on a VN that's over 50 hours, that just tells me how good a VN is.
everything is very much consistent and worldbuilding is just simply awesome. the writing will keep you seated. The MC is a very in-depth asshole who has seen a lot of shit in his 30+ years of his life. the people around him are also very much teetering to the soulless territory. I also love the corporate setting. more specifically the talks of pandering, shilling and "corporate speak" as that one youtuber uses as a term that I frequent, and how all the characters are just sick and tired of all those shillers and corpo dick suckers and yet here they are, doing the very same thing: sucking corporate dick. and while yes they are living in a not so prosperous area, the reason why its poor is still unexplained. on a 50 hour VN. you can't expect me to accept that everyone has to be dick suckers and yet we don't see any one person living in an extremely extravagant lifestyle. see, if everyone is poor despite doing their respective jobs, someone has to be legally stealing or extorting or something similar like that. You can't sell me what would amount to a Gotham City, but the major corporate villain players are absent. so I am hoping the sequel tackles that if ever.
still I understand why the cliffhanger complainers are being salty. all in all I just want the thing to continue. explosion in the background or not. the worldbuilding is so rich that in only peeled off the crust for a 50 hour VN.
if I have one legit complaint, its that the thief case in the small store took way too long. best girl is chiffon not even a contest.
