This was an incredible experience. I walked in having high expectations and was generally skeptical, especially with people branding it to be the best VN of all time; but the intricacy in its plot, the painstaking attention to detail, the emotional connection to the world and characters I have never felt with any other piece of media before - this work speaks to me on another level. Never did I imagine that cliches could be executed at such incredible heights - the fact that this speaks true decades later after thousands upon thousands of iterations is a testament to this work's greatness. I had the pleasure of going into this series blind, and what a joy it has been. Truly one of a kind.
