It's already been a while since I've read this. I expressed my appraisal to my friend who had recommended this to me, but not to you directly. The way you've managed to match the 'feeling' of Ryukishi's works and delivered a strikingly similar atmosphere is very impressive. What I was most impressed by was the prose; it's simple, yet very strong in description. It might seem silly to fawn over something like that, but still. The characters also seemed very consistent: the very first scene where Battler and Beatrice are playing togethere felt very authentic, as if it were straight out of the original games.
Very much looking forward to the final release.
