Apologies for a sort of petty write-up (if you already couldn't tell by the score), but this is more a standing warning for it being on the top reviewed alongside Ao no Kiseki, although what I have to say applies vastly more for this one.

The Trails community is a very insular niche group, and not to remark against their enjoyment but I'd keep in mind that this game is largely untranslated with the only translation jobs for it so far are a butchered machine-writing version that certainly doesn't attest to any good writing and a single "loose" stream translation of which I imagine most people came to 'play' this game from. So I would be highly skeptical of the validity of whether or not this is worth getting into! And being at the complete tail end (or most recent one) of a very long series that's required to go through first, that makes the asking price a lot bigger.

So, buyers beware... haha.

Edit: Ok WOW lol.
A few points:
-it was definitely rather poor of me to not at least just keep this at shelved and no rating, but I was too petty and evil! Too number focused, wanted to see it fall. In the future Id rather not become some “outrage hot take reviewer/blogger” so I won’t commit the same mistake there. Apologies to those who follow me for souring the well like this
-Respect to kingbancho for keeping it real haha. I’m no help ofc, I’ve done the peanut stuff a couple times, that I’ve definitely pushed myself to curb away from. I for one especially took the whole brigade as a huge badge of honor at first, and ended up sharing it in a more personal private blog to feel giddy about. Then seeing it go to Twitter too just kept that gravy train rolling. I won’t apologize for taking a bizarre sense of glee in this, but I’ll double down I won’t do this again lol (or at least try!!)
-That being said, what I put up here I definitely reaffirm, in that the translation is trash (seriously awful prose and TL work, but what can you do at this rate), and making a blogpost like this is hardly new for me at all, and I’d rather keep that personal side of me here at all times. If you don’t like that it’s not a real review, fine!
