i don't want to go into the drama shit but all i can says is thats lots of fake rumors was spread over just by jealousy and pure hate i know it's wild but that's what i saw and see permanently this comunity.
beside that , adastra is ONE of these favorite top tier VNs i love and it will never change it was my first VN and it's indeed nostalgic for me too, fbtw it's not poorly written TO ME but not the best one and it depend of tastes i gues, but i love it for its own world and lores that sadly lots of wonderful vns don't want to explore more, i also love RtF, Lyre, Soulecreek, but adastra is the only echo project vn i like tbh, i don't like the others just because it's not my cup of tea (tho echo itself has its own faults too but only this one) and after all the vn is way far to end so let's see what it's going to become, but i understand your point about the vn it's indeed not the best written one (i mean it will get better over builds i hope) but i do love it so much for what it is, same with Rtf, Soulcreek, Lyre, Adastra
