This review contains spoilers
This is one of the worst and also one of the best things I've ever gone through.
So let me discuss each thing in this VN in detail
ARFI Part 1: 10/10, I honestly loved this part of it, Ceren was interesting and I liked what they did with her overall. Was also nice getting to see everything up to the revolt.
ARFI Interlude: 3/10. This is where the problems start. The first 3 tales are literally just "hey, did you know about this girl called Ceren? did you know she couldn't feel emotions? it made me feel soooo unsafe" repeated over and over again until its drilled into your fucking skull. Good idea, horrible execution. Everything with Barnier afterwards isn't much better, but still not too bad.
ARFI Part 2: 3/10. Its bad. It's REALLY bad. I wish I could like this part, but until you get to the festival part, it's just so boring. There's nothing interesting here until then, and at the very least A Requiem For Innocence ends on a better note than the rest of Part 2. I really wish I could have liked this but it's just so unbelievably dull. But again, at least the final parts are amazing. Maria's corpse CG will fucking haunt me.
Happily Ever ~After~: 11/10
Genuinely Happily Ever After is the only reason this isn't a 1 star.
Oh right, and each time the Jacogana shit started I skipped through til it was over. No pedophilia here thanks.
For my own sanity I'm pretending that Maria and Jacopo adopted Morgana at the end of Reincarnation
