I found it amusing that my feelings about the Werewolf segments mirrored the trajectory that the protagonist must have experienced: confusion and worry as we accustomed to the first handful of loops, tedium and frustration as the reality of the grind set in, and then a sense of time-god omnipotence by the time we hit level 125 or so and could bend almost every character in the game to our will. I do wish there were more unique interactions in the Werewolf segments that would dissuade the player from mashing through them.

The characters, worldbuilding, and even the compulsory self-reflexive Blickwinkel stuff are just as interesting as what a lot of its contemporaries manage in thrice as much playtime. Kind of puts into perspective how repetitive VNs can be.

MVP is clearly Shigemichi but Otome and Gina and Setsu are great too. I can't praise the characters in this enough, honestly, they are all endearing.
