I really enjoyed my time reading it and it was the most fun I had reading a visual novel in a quite while. It made me realize just how much I missed Nasu's unique writing. The characters are awesome too. Aoko, Alice and Sizuki are great and super likable and there banter is really entertaining through out. Hell even the side characters are fun too. The art to the visual novel is also gorgeous easily one of the best I seen from a presentation stand point it sometimes felt like it flowed like a manga which was really cool for a visual novel. The music is also awesome. I also loved the references to other Nasuverse stories while I'm not too familiar with Tsukihime I did catch the many references to Fate/ and Garden of Sinners which was awesome it felt weirdly validating and every time I noticed a reference it made gave me a stupid smile. Also after reading this visual novel I can now say...I will never look Touko the same way ever again. I don't wanna give too much spoilers though since I greatly recommend just reading it yourself.

But yeah top tier visual novel and I can not praise it enough. Nasu man...he makes me salty a bit, sits on a draft of this peak fiction for 16 years then takes another 10 years for translation then this man has audacity to say "oh yeah I want to this to be a trilogy". Why are you like this mushroom man!? D: While Witch on the Holy Night is great I fully expect no sequels would ever come. Also I'm a bit concerned about the UFOtable movie so far only one movie has been confirmed and I can not see that working without it feeling rushed and underwhelming. I really hope it will be a trilogy with Chapters 1-5 covering the first movie, 6-9 will cover the second and 10-13 will cover the third. Maybe throw in adaptations of the side chapters as OVA's for the blu ray releases that would be awesome. I really hopes that happens but who knows.

But in any case Witch on the Holy Night is awesome and I hope more people experience it. It makes for a good introduction to the Nasuverse but is also a rewarding read for long time fans.
