I have only skimmed the wall of text you sent as it is 8:15 in the morning where I am at and I haven’t gone to bed yet. I feel like your post would be much better processed once I’ve had some time to recharge, but I have bookmarked it on my PC so that I can return to it and and comment on it once I have slept.
As for Harmonia, I was also interested in buying it, but I decided to go wifh Clannad as it is one of the titles I have always recognized but never had the chance to read. This will be my first real experience with routes or choices - basically, I’ve only read kinetic novels before, save for a few hours of Root Double: Before Crime/After Days. I don’t know whether to be excited or intimidated. I appreciate your discussion, as well. Thank you!
