Go to sleep on Saturday, wake up on Saturday. Just one more turn, I swear. No, but in all seriousness, I don't really have the time to be playing all that much Civ right now. Backlog doesn't stop expanding for anybody, so I have to hack away at that.
Started today with the Fault series, which is a VN of which episodes 1 and 2.1 are out, 1's prequel should arrive this year, and 2.2 sometime next year. Point is, it's got a bunch of content out and coming.
As far as I got (and perhaps almost as far as the first episode goes, as they're on the short side - less than 10 hours a piece it seems), it was just setting the scene. Some cryptic inspirational prologue followed by a quick story of the basics of the magic system and it's evolution and spread, and how that all lead to a war. Followed by the actual story starting.
So far, I love the magic system, as there's clearly some thought and rules behind that, which makes for a more immersive setting because there aren't any obvious loopholes. I was a bit concerned when they introduced science into all this, but I didn't read further than that for the day, so hopefully the story stays all nice and logical. But that's just my personal taste.
Other than that, the character art looks quite nice, but most of the backgrounds are, in stark contrast, flat and boring. Which strikes me as odd, seeing as the... whatever you call the backgrounds that are shown when character sprites aren't on the screen, but rather in the background itself... are very well done. In any case, I'll definitely be continuing reading later on.
