Your opinions match the general sentiment towards MLA I think. The reason it’s rated so high is because a lot of people gave it a 10/10, not because it’s objectively better than other top VNs. (I would rate CLANNAD as 11/10 or 12/10 and MLA as 10/10, but the scale only goes up to 10, so the effective score is equal to a 10/10 score. So it appears as though I would rate MLA and CLANNAD equally when I don’t.
I didn’t really like the final chapter either, I completely agree with you there — Takeru hardly got any better throughout the story!! And I wasn’t really affected by the girls’ deaths (besides Meiya) because you knew they were gonna die. And the fact that Takeru forgot everything in the new universe just made me kind of mad. Seeing Kasumi cry was touching, though.
I was satisfied by the science even if it was lolwrong, though. They mentioned several times that the G-Bombs had strange residual effects, so it wasn’t too much of a stretch that the G-Bombs were able to propel Sumika’s consciousness to bring Takeru to the Unlimited universe. (Sort of.)
