"it gets good trust" is how I would summarise the entire Muv-Luv experience.

This game had a lot to uphold. Everyone told me how amazing it is, the steam description hypes it to the stratosphere with very pretty CG images to back it up, you have to dedicate 45 hours on the previous game where half of it is a tedious slice of life, and to top it all off the vndb has it as the highest rated visual novel of all time, suffice to say it all culminated it in me having expectations

What I got instead was the single worst pacing I've ever seen in any medium and one of the most unengaging forms of storywriting. Majority of text is pure on nonstop info dumping which majority of the time feels superfluous, combine with majority of the game still being mostly slice of life you have a plot that doesn't make you going because you're engrossed in it, no instead it's because you already dedicated a lot of time into the series. When you finally expect the plot to pick up and it kinda does it immediatelly slows down for more info-dumping and scenes that equate to nothing. The way it also attempts to make you interested in it's characters is by giving have screentime but without much of substance and this applies to entirety of Muv-Luv, you're not fascinated by them for their actual character but for a basic premise of their personality and the time you spend together. Now for my single biggest complaint that truly made my playthrough of it a fucking chore, the music. It is incredbily vital to have good music in a Visual Novel as it will put emphasis on a lot of major scenes the narrative presents and is also meant to enrich the overall experience. Oh my fucking god is the music variety nonexistent, it's exactly the same from Muv-Luv, so yes the combined 145 or so hours on this trilogy had me listening to the same 4 irritatengly generic happy music, there were points where i had to turn the music volume off completely as I just couldn't take it.
Honestly speaking as a whole I enjoyed it much less than unlimited and would rate the whole game a 5-6/10.... if not for that final act.

The very last chapter makes everything worth it, it is THE reason you read Muv-Luv, it doesn't make a whole 180 in it's narrative but it gives a really damn good closure to the story and it's the single ultimate reason that you read these games.
