Finished 2.1

What a step up in quality compared to previous chapters. Very little filler, I always felt engaged and wanted to hop right into the next segment. Most of the filler I saw was from the in-combat puzzle sequences where they explain how to click LMB 4 different ways. I entered not really liking Yuzuha but she grew on me throughout the story and tugged a few heartstrings along the way. Alice not so much, I understand what they were trying to do with her, it just didn't hit the mark for me. Not to mention I don't like how she sounds. Manato is chill but didn't see much character development, other than being the muscles for the group. Maybe they'll do something more with him later. Damian was definitely the MVP of the chapter with his dubious ethics and apparent self-interest. I always felt like when he showed up it could either help the investigation or take a turn for the worse. I'm looking forward to seeing him again in future chapters.

9/10 pretty good for gacha slop
