The translations are laughable, the systems are sometimes confusing, and the gameplay is janky... But it's fun. It's a genuinely fun time. I don't know what endgame is like and I don't care. Charm sits in the cracks between every brick that was laid to create this game, and I intend to absorb all of it.

Though the story is somewhat simplistic, there's a charming journey to it all and it has some genuinely fascinating twists. The environment designs are fantastic, and I quite enjoy a lot of the OST. Somehow, this game manages to capture the childlike wonder of playing an MMO for the first time, and I didn't even grow up with it so I know that's not nostalgia talking.

I'll follow Pelulu to the ends of the earth... and beyond, as luck would have it.
