I picked this up on release on a whim because I just finished re-reading Laplacian's earlier stuff and it's...pretty rough. I know a lot of anons were critical of the AI assisted translation feature and I can tell you it's definitely noticeable, but not so bad to ruin the pace. Translation issues aside it's a pretty fucking boring story. I'm only on Chapter 5 currently but up to this point the story hinges on piecemeal hints of some future, yet not a single scene has been dedicated to actually building any kind of rapport for these characters.
