Mixed FeelingsWell-written

I could not understand my feelings. It comes very complex. Is it disgusting? Is it horrific? Is it great? Its answer is all of them at the same time. In fuminari's view there is someone very beautiful. But it is the problem itself. Fuminari sees good things bad and bad things good because of his surgeon. And ım curious. If she is the most beautiful thing in fuminari's view then how does she look like for normal person? Its also very philosphyical ı think. What is the difference between a human and a creature? What is disgusting, ugly or what is beautiful? Maybeit just fucked up my mind.

Synopsis

Fuminori Sakisaka, a young man who lost his family in a tragic car accident, has his life saved through an untested surgical procedure. However, thanks to a strange side-effect, all that comes upon his eyes appears twisted and ugly. All except for the beautiful girl who goes by "Saya", who draws the color of beauty to Fuminori's stained existence. For him, she is the only strand of light still remaining in life. (Source: Seikaisha, translated)

Truly a great VN. I'm not sure if any other VN will live up to it, personally. The MC has a traumatic brain injury which makes him experience the world as a disgusting fleshy hellscape, and then Saya comes along. The story really is interesting, and the occult undertones only made me enjoy it more. It's romantic, deranged, schizophrenic, apocalyptic, and really is beautifully done. The only thing I didn't like was how they infantilized Saya and her appearance, made her seem kinda lolicon in the eyes of the MC which I'm not into at all. She is a very cute, innocent, and endearing character but the wayit's sometimes emphasized is not my thing, so it lost some points because of that. Definitely worth the read/playthrough!
