| To begin with I'll say that I've watched both seasons back when they were airing. I know how the character routes end, I know the 'truth of the world' so I can't see the VN surprising me about important plot points. I don't see how the VN will be able to keep me to read more especially since I heard it is an extremely long read. Despite all of this is it worth to read the VN? Will I get an otherworldly experience compared to the anime? I know it wasn't the most faithful adaptation in the world but are the changes worth going through everything else that was similar? I'd like the opinion of as many different people as possible before I decided whether I'm going to read it or not. |

| Well the VN is quite fun personally so the common route is worth it. The heroine route are pretty similar but rushed so if there is an heroine you especially like you might want to re-read her route or an heroine route you saw in the anime that you liked you might want to see the VN counterpart. Refrain though. From what I gathered from the others player, they say that even if they already played refrain, they can still re-play it and cry so you might want to try the VN version at least once. The atmosphere is way better than the anime, the impact and deepness into the character struggle is well explained and it is really well written and paced so In my opinion it is worth a read. In short, yes I think it's worth it for the common route and refrain, the heroine aren't really worth it except if you really want to know how it goes in their route. |

I've only watched bits and pieces of the anime, but the humor in the VN works much, much better. Just try out the first 10 minutes of it, and see if you share my sentiment. It just has a very different feel in general. |

| Knowing the 'secret of the world' ruins the VN in my opinion. Common route is still fun but without the mystery it just comes off stale as a whole. |
