There are some good ideas here that get realized towards the end, but chronic issues with tone and pacing make the first 3/4 a terrible experience to get through.

If you don't place much of a premium on your time and don't mind dealing with a slog to get some good payoff, then Ever17 will probably be worth it for you. Otherwise, I'd look towards Nakazawa's and Uchikoshi's later works to see many of the same ideas with far better execution.
