Give me one good reason to continue this VN. No, I mean it. Where is the artistry that people claim this to be? I admit I haven't reached an ending to chapter 2 yet, but seeing how it's going, I'm not sure I want to! I've seen all around that this is apparently a "life-changing" game when all I see is an incel sob story masquerading as an ontological thought experiment. The idea surrounding everything is neat and all, but whenever anything starts to go anywhere, something comes and ruins any intrigue that I had in what was happening. Tell me what anyone sees in this and how its worth continuing. Genuinely. Everything I see disgusts me to my core and not even in the good way. The desk scene has left me scarred. I so badly want to like this because of the universe and implications it has behind it (and because of Ayana I love her) but if the entirety of chapter 2 is as bad as what I've seen, I don't understand how it could possibly get any better.

Thank you two for your honest opinions- I've played a lot of VNs at this point including things like Kara no Shoujo and that's pretty sexually fucked too- Takuji just shakes me to my core man. I've spoiled myself on a few things but I still don't understand what the hell the game has in store for me. I thought I was fine with gross sexual stuff but Takuji apparently has defeated me in that aspect. I'll continue it- I just wanna play other things first
as a fan of subahibi, i'd argue down the rabbit hole i and ii are the most important parts of the story. it's my own invention is intentional psychological torture with great hallucinatory imagery, which i find cool to an extent not including rape. looking glass insects isn't particularly deep but it's well written and emotionally affecting enough to make me cry. the last 3 chapters are overhyped philosophical dogshit. i think it's worth it for how incredibly interesting "the end sky ii" ending is, as well as some solid cgs. i implore you to use your skip text key liberally if you find yourself struggling with the sexual content- as someone triggered often to the point of anxiety attacks by those kind of things, i certainly did.
i should also add that looking glass insect is a very, very, very hard read. it fucking goes places. it HURTS. it is triggering as all hell but i'd argue it's more tasteful.
Its my own invention is great with the delusional reality Takuji has but Takuji himself I can't bear at all. He reminds me of some of my abusers and I despise him. Unfortunately he seems to be well-written
