#Also in Sakura Samsara. Another thing with potential with terrible writing

I think taking the kids to a park or something could make Kalpas a little better. Violent-playing with them may make him laugh. There's no cure for whatever Aponia, Vill-V, Elysia, Kevin and Fu Hua have going on. Su is on very thin ice and needs to chill. Pardofelis is kind of there. Mobius can stay I guess. Sakura is so bland she too can stay but for literally the opposite reason. Eden is on the same page as Kalpas imo
I can't believe Kalpas is literally the most normal and bearable person among the Flame Chasers
#I find Su very very... plain and wise-wannabe but in a way in which he just says very superficial stuff? 15yo thinking he's wise#But I think it's the writing. The writing overall feels very 15yo thinking they're writing something super deep#Mobius is written I believe to be beyond human limitations and thus she actually makes sense. Until the end. Hated the To the other me thin#I think she and Su are very similar in concept but the way Su is written feels so pedantic (bad) and fake deep he annoys me#Sakura is extremely bland and that's all there's to her I believe. I can't believe they failed to make her interesting#with how good the thing with Rin and her becoming a traitor for that is#How do you manage to make someone so boring when playing with the setsuna concept?#Kind of the same with Fu Hua but Fu Hua gets on my nerves. Elysia too. Could have been a good character even keeping how annoying she is#but there's no brushing off the exist that stains everything in her personality. I think I know where this is going with the Herrshers#and I also don't like the choice#On the other hand Kalpas has a concept I don't like at all but ironically I find him more interesting in how he's written#than many of the others (perhaps because I expected nothing) and definitely more bearable#That I find him so similar to Eden sure helps. It enhanced my appreciation for both characters#Same with Su but tbh in this case Mobius entirely saves Su for me#If she weren't here or if they didn't parallel each other the very thin ice under Su's feet would break#I think overall the writing of this game isn't good but this bunch of people is unbearable#Maybe it's because you experience them all together but they're even harder to digest than the main characters for me#Anyway... Perhaps the writing gets better with the mangas but I believe even if they expand the writing should be good already in the game#And I don't think that's the case. The main arc is very vocaloid-y. Good concepts but come on three lines and a video clip aren't enough#I don't understand why people feel so heartbroken about Himeko. She was there for fifteen minutes and then died#And also the game forces you to trust or distrust people when they don't really work on why. Why do I have to trust Elysia more than Mobius#Because Elysia is pink and silly while Mobius is disabled green and clever? But there are several such examples. It annoys me so much#Also in Sakura Samsara. Another thing with potential with terrible writing#Ksllen literally 'I know her for a few days but she would never do this!' what do you know?Literally it took rewriting history several time#'But she was mind controlled!' and yet we could persuade her so it wasn't entirely mind control. It's terrible writing#And it is very similar to all the criticism I have about the Firefly writing in Penacony. And even the Penacony arc as a whole#No wonder they're written by the same guy. Kinda gives off edgy 15yo trying to write deep complex things indeed *sigh*#Anyway... I would let Kalpas break Aponia and then monster-play catch with Kosma or something#I talk too much#there's no brushing off the sexism*
