The world-building of this VN is also marvelously good, clear element/operator system setting let us easily form everyday magic formulas, magic machines, and even binary logics from these magical elements and magical operations.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
17 of 223 sampled reviews raised it
Also, the title has some nice options available and there are six different endings so the replayability is quite high with this V.N..
