#the higher the translatability of a conlang the less I become fond of it

[satohqbanana]

I think I like conlang better when the writer actually leans into it being a conlang - such as Ar Tonelico's Hymmnos being essentially a programming language, Nier's Chaos language representing how the peoples of the future eventually stopped understanding each other, Yuki Kajiura's Kajiurago focusing on capturing the idea of an emotion rather than more concrete ideas, and Made in Abyss' Abyss speak playing right into the otherwordliness of its setting.
