Its been a while since I did the other two, but I finished the third and final route, Heaven's Feel. In hindsight, I'm not really sure why I gave such low scores to the other two routes, I absolutely was way too harsh. This was a pretty good read, and the accompanying music is still very solid, and the drawings a bit dated. The story was a real bummer for the majority of it, everything just goes horribly wrong most of the time. Its not like the other two routes were all sunshine and rainbows, but this one deals with some heavy stuff, even if the way it does so might not be the best. Sakura, the main heroine of the route, goes through some less than tasteful scenes I'd rather not go into too much detail, and it felt a bit gratuitous, in the same way all the porn scenes do. Yes, I played with those on again, and they feel as needless and poorly written as ever. This route has the most of them as well, so just play without them. I say "just play" , but in truth, playing through the whole game takes a not insignificant amount of time that not everyone might have. In total, I've must have spent about two full days at the very least to read the three routes. Two whole days I'll never get back, just gone on reading this thing. Its definitely not bad, but that's a lot of time just pissed to the wind.

This time I finished the second route, Unlimited Blade Works. I gotta say, it kind of grew on me. I definitely was way too harsh with the previous route. If you like visual novels, you know what to expect here. Sex scenes are still awful though, thankfully there's only one in this route instead of two. It totally works without them

I recently got into Fate by playing Grand Order on my phone, and I wanted to try more of the series. I'm honestly not sure how to feel about this. I played the Realta Nua version, which originally took out all of the porn scenes but with a patch that restored said porn scenes, because I like to live on the edge like that. They feel like an afterthought, poorly written and awkward, as if the game wasn't supposed to have them in the first place. It's totally playable this without them, in case you want to sit through the game because you hate yourself or something. Story was okay if very anime-ish, music was surprisingly good, the drawings are decent, if dated. My biggest gripe is the length. It took me 25 goddamn hours to play through the first route out of 3. Needless to say, it was a chore at times. Characters just go on and on and on about uninteresting garbage which did chip at my patience. I only recommend this to fans of the Fate franchise or weebs with a fuckton of free time and some catheter bags, like myself.
