It's a wonderful advertisement for consuming alcoholic beverages; it made me want to, like the main character and his friends, indulge in a bottle of sake while reading. However, you can't feel the same romance in a city of concrete and plastic. Overall, given the setting and plot, the contrast between the lifestyles of high-tech and traditional societies is very striking. On one hand, the reader is shown cold, soulless skyscrapers with advanced technology, while on the other, there are vibrant and colorful cities and the nature surrounding them. The same can be said about travel – there's something inspiring about undertaking a long journey, whether you're a monarch or a commoner; it's still a test and an adventure compared to buying a plane ticket and arriving on the other side of the world on the same day. And the same goes for work – ironically, given the protagonist's character, his actions can be inspiring, but in our reality, it never ends, and you never see the fruits of your labor. And about idealism – if here people are fighting for truth, dignity, and the future, then in our world, there is only deception, and there is no other choice but to turn a blind eye or become a nihilist. But, I think that's enough complaining for now. It's clear that another long, fascinating, and emotional journey has come to an end, and I have to return to the gray reality, which is hard not to feel down about, but instead, I want to finish this story with a feeling of gratitude for all the positive emotions it gave me.

I finished the first part some time ago, and then the label for the second part sat on my desktop for over a year – I read about five hours and stopped, I don't remember why, but it doesn't matter because after finishing the second and third parts, I was still delighted by the live music, beautiful illustrations, many inspiring and relatable themes, the well-developed world and culture, the endearing characters, scenes from their daily lives, the interesting plot, and the abundance of touching moments – one of which may have been the most emotional thing I've ever read or watched. I would say for sure, but such things are very difficult to "measure," let alone try to compare, but the fact is that I cried during it, and even the next day, just one memory was enough to make me feel emotional again and again. It's also worth noting the presence of gameplay – the fights and leveling up between reading were very welcome, and the fact that the characters have sprites is definitely a plus.

In general, in my opinion, this is a masterpiece worthy of study by future generations. If anything demonstrates the worth of a person as a species and the presence of a soul in them, it is works like this. From the "negative" side, perhaps the only thing I can mention is the communist-transhumanist villain and his henchmen – even the fat guy and the pathetic official could be pitied, but not them, but this was due to the plot, the kindness, and the mercy of some of the characters, so it can't be called a minus with a clear conscience.

I wanted to write a cool review, but it turned out to be a bit rambling 😞... So, I'm taking off my imaginary hat.
