I have to say that after the whole Selena debacle it took me a little while to go back to this VN. I had stopped at 0.3.2 and well, in the end I just couldn't resist and had to download 0.3.6, especially after seeing my sweet Eliza mentioned as a
monster here.
Well, I'm very pleasantly surprised with the last updates, they are very immersive and the situation with Blackheart, which I was really looking forward to, has been perfectly dealt with (so good to see him trapped in hell). Plus, the idea of adding Onyx to the story is a very clever move (Taron will be pissed for good!), well done
BuuPlays ! And I also have to mention Kira, insufferable at the beginning, who is, now that MC broke her shell, a vulnerable little girl full of love and avid of romance. What a nice surprise!
As for Eliza, I wasn't as shocked as I thought I would be after reading some comments here, because it all makes sense in the end. Let me explain: she has a very difficult and terrible choice to make, either stay crippled for the rest of her life, feeling like a burden to her friends and her lover, or accept to become a vampire with the dangerous risk of not being able to properly tame her new powers and new hunger, while at the same time being able to follow MC everywhere and making sure nothing will threaten the life of her man. And so, what was bound to happen happens, her first night as a vampire and she loses control of her hunger, she didn't even think she could kill someone this easily, all of this is new to her so who can really blame her? And that's exactly why MC comforts her, what is done is done, she has to move on with her new vampire life and learn to control every aspect of it.
The big positive side of the
new Eliza is that now both her and MC are non-human beings, they share a very special and deep bond and can help each other in many different ways.
Hard to consider her and the MC among the good guys.
MC never considered himself to be a good guy, he said it many times, and he would kill dozens of people if it would help him getting close to Taron and kill him. Eliza and him are here for a revenge, for killing, not for playing the superheroes and helping the citizens in distress. When MC helps Luna and her mother Cassandra, he’s doing it for his own ambitions and is very clear about it. And that’s exactly why I enjoy this VN, it feels
real, not sugar-coated, it can be very dark at times and very light-hearted at others.
