Status Updates From The House in Fata Morgana

not me finally getting back to this after like a year.

*DOOR 5 - 9/10*
This Doors is really long and dense, however it is full of peak and hertfelt moments.
It's becoming really good, and deep, and it's making me think a lot with its themes.

However I hope next chapters will be shorter... even if it was overall really good, this door seemed to never end...

*now* I finished the fourth door, and it really surprised me.

I'm even more invested, overall Door 4 is a solid 8.5/10

Door 4: 8/10

A good and tragic love story

What will happen now?

I finished door 3. Pretty good, maybe the best of the first 3, for now it's a solid 8/10 overall

I liked 2 more than 1, and 1 was still pretty good.

Nothing extremely heartshaking or mindblowing, but surely an interesting read.

*DOOR 2: 4 stars*
This "beauty and the beast" retelling was at first nice, but I was not impressed by the revelation of the identity of the beast (it was pretty obvious for me). However after that revelation, this chapter truly knew how to surprise me by deepening really good the characters' motivations and backgrounds.
If this VN's quality is going to rise, it truly will be a good journey

yeah, definitely see why people call this a sister novel to Umineko. So many of the same themes just executed in a different manner. That Tanith Lee influence is also v. apparent.

I could rave about the sound design for that second chapter all day.

god DAMN. clearly I should have picked this up earlier.

also, fuck off claiming visual novels don't count as books, goodreads. ffs.

Intentionally flinging myself down this rabbit hole again, because this story owns my heart and soul...
