The love felt towards Kagari and her story is the absolute purest form of exploring the beauty of human connections that I've ever read. The issues I have become trivial compared to everything it has to say that I really can't complain. Rewrite is just very. Pure. in a way I haven't experienced

It leads itself beautifully to Moon.

Kagari was used exceptionally well, I loved her minimal appearances. Not once did the game ever try casting Main Girl energy onto her for the entirety of the first portion of the game and it worked. The reader's driving force gets turned into curiosity. Craving that connection-

I was picking up pretty early on on how often the heroine routes' struggles read eerily similar to Kagari's scenario. For being a character who hardly ever talks you can easily grasp everything you need to know about her through just. human experience.

A lot of it felt bold, but I really liked it and found it refreshing.

I also just love the acknowledgement that humans are not exempt from nature but rather a part of it. Utilizing all of the resources given to you is its own form of love and appreciation. Allowing yourself to flourish and grow for your own well-being rather than maintaining consistency and stagnation

The connection to the constant reiteration that rewriting oneself equates to loss of self, literal selflessness resonates with me as well. It had so much more interesting things to say about selfishness than any other works I've read, you described it perfectly.

I'm definitely going to be thinking about it for a while, I'm still in the process of my brain digesting it.

I loved the culmination of the resolution and everything the game stood for but was burnt out by not finding Terra super enjoyable to read (Esp with how great Moon was), but the more I sit the more it hits in reflection and I'm like. Damn. It's peak I fear and I'll only love it more as time goes on

Time has passed and I do in fact enjoy it more, much like Air 👍 peak fiction

Rewrite feels a lot like Air (not just by being thematically similar, almost as though Rewrite is a reattempt at it) where I think it had good ideas but the way it gets to it isn't the greatest and is something I will undoubtedly come to enjoy further after some time passes. It's interesting

This is the ending I'm accepting as canon

I feel the same way, having given it 200 hours my ranking is also probably around 7-7.5/10

I saw your play-time before I knew you were playing in Japanese right before I was about to boot it up for the first time not knowing how long the game would be and felt like this

I was thinking I can't imagine the timeline where someone would spend 100+ hours on something only to feel pretty neutral about, then remembered Hundred Line. So I now believe in the probability of this person existing

Episode 2 is strange, it's the weakest first time around but gets better in hindsight. If you find yourself unsure of it, just know that it's part of the experience !!
