A decently competent story that utterly lacks any ambition with very lackluster themes and poor characters for the most part imo. Most of the cast feel like walking stereotypes without much else to them and any attempts to flesh them out failed miserably for me. Looking at you Luka. The only exceptions to this for me are Okabe, Suzuha and Braun who are fairly decent.

I simply do not understand why it is put on such a high pedestal, especially after going through the rest of sciadv as they generally do far more interesting things.
