#most of the somniums are boring (apart from the ost which is still good) half the comedy is boring

note to self, new policy change. whenever i accidentally stumble into a conversation about aini and i have to justify my dislike of it somehow, i’m offering one answer and one answer only: It’s Boring.

#im sorry im sorry i want to love it but its just soooo friggin boring im so bored and uninspired with it #the simulation stuff looks and sounds very flashy but its so vapid theres nothing there whats it for what is the story saying with it #what is even the point. nothing it is there to exist the writing has no opinion on it other than its a cool trick #and its not even that cool of a trick these days maybe a decade ago but in this economy? its been done so much #mizuki is boring all the returning characters are Boring the world is boring the villains are boring the motifs are wasted #ryuki and tama couldve been so good and expansive wrt to the first games ideas. but theyre not its boring #most of the somniums are boring (apart from the ost which is still good) half the comedy is boring #i really really dont want to be mean about it but i just cant make myself interested in talking abt it im BORED #i cant even get that animated abt the ableist stuff and the weirdness towards teenage girls cause its bad in such a tired hackneyed way lol #i keep trying to imagine experiencing this from the pov of someone whos never played a single vn let alone an anime vn or an uchi product #and like. itd be so confusing. id be like 'man i dont get it what was that even' #and not even in a 'have have so many Thoughts abt this i cant make them coherent' way more like 'i cant think anything at all abt this' #it demands knowledge of the genre to grasp whats happening but if you have that experience then it becomes more of the same #it feels so weirdly sanitised for some reason. it makes me yearn for indie games #so there's all of that hooha. and then. LOOK how they MASSACRED my BOY.
