Soukou Akki Muramasa
I'd long wanted to play read this visual novel, though purely because I really liked the design of one of the characters — I knew practically nothing about the story. Over time I forgot about it, but this month I quite accidentally discovered that a translation had been put out in the middle of last year, so naturally I dropped everything else, including the ducklings promised to Loken, and ran off with my tongue hanging out to read it. And I can say I didn't regret it! It's even surprising — you sit there mindlessly staring at the screen or grinding XP, and then suddenly you're wolfing down this much quality content on both cheeks — first the stunning Muv-Luv, and then the ultra-stylish Muramasa. You could sink into skepticism and assume it's just the antidepressants working, but better not.
Here we have excellent humor, an engaging plot with all sorts of twists and hints scattered across several routes, a deeply fleshed-out setting with many opposing factions and methods of warfare/combat techniques/equipment, atmospheric music, tons of great art, backgrounds and sprites, worldview clashes between flawed characters, each living according to their own convictions, and the novel lets you understand their point of view. The main theme of this VN, which I won't name to avoid spoilers, is well developed throughout the entire story and resonated with me, as did many other philosophical moments. A thought-provoking work, in short.
^ That topic when players attacked the GM's character.
As for the heroines, it's hard to say since they're all good. I'll only note that the narrow-eyed one has some absolutely unhinged humor. Oh, and yes, the protagonist is excellent, not only due to his role in the story itself, but also because of his personality traits.
