I’ve been absolutely loving this vn so far. Everything you’ve built feels so intentional from the world, the characters, the music, and just the overall atmosphere in general. And I like how the story has a dark ambience to it while still having uplifting and likable characters.
The world building has been awesome so far. I really like how much effort you’ve put into creating depth to the culture of the Black Colony—with the artifacts, the bedtime stories, and just everything. The anatomy and foods of this world are also really fascinating. I love how you're not afraid to design the world in a way that may seem strange or unorthodox. It creates this great sense of mystery where, as the reader, I’m always curious what I’ll discover next.
I feel like Neo, specifically, has been a really compelling character and protagonist. He always seems to be considering people's feelings about things, making sure they’re ok, and making sure to not implicate them into things they're not comfortable with. I really like how caring and perceptive he is towards the people around him—especially when they’re feeling down. It warmed my heart to see how much of an effort Neo made to get Reuben to open up (and include him in the friend group) rather than letting him drift off into loneliness and isolation. It’s so easy to fall into the trap of self-isolation, and I’ve faced it in my life quite a bit in my own life. So, I really admire how much he recognizes the importance of reaching out to people when they need it.
This VN has been such an amazing read so far. Thank you SO MUCH for making this!!!
Also wondering, is the title "Season May" symbolic of something? I’m just curious.
