out/cast

Thats a disappointment, i was planning to pick this VN. It looked like it could be interesting but in this state it would be torture to read. As a person who is not native english speaker i find it hard to understand in some cases. Not to mention how stupid some dialogues sound. I dont get what translation team was thinking, you dont have to be fluent in english to realise how stupid these lines sound. Really hope that mikandi proves us all wrong and fix this translation. Until then ill save money.

Well, i read entire novel and my question answered themselves. Have to to retract my statement about Kei's route being bad ending. After reading whole novel i consider it best ending, and since i know about main conflict/ways of beating mercurius i can see in a different light this ending and its consequences. Couldnt resist and read spoilers about KKK and have to say

Thanks for answers guys, especially Clephas. Can't say im very satysfied with how things look like. As far as i understand your post, it feels like other routes just serve as extended prologue or some kind of bad,ominous endings. While i understand that those routes werent meant to be conclusion to whole story, they could at least be more conclusive to their arcs. It really feels like ayakashibito, where only 1 route was "complete/true", and i cant say that's my cup of tea. Its like choices werent there at all. Probably gonna go for Marie's route first and then force myself to beat bakatsumi route, before Rea's. Hope that Rea's route is as good as i heard. Will still headcanon and pretend that in 20 years Ren gathered enough souls to crush Reinhardt and his sect, especially when with his new power he would be stronger with each knight defeated. Meh, why its always my waifus, that get short end of the stick?

I only finished Kei route for now, so i'd be grateful, if i nobody posted spoilers from other routes. I have few questions, first - can i skip Kasumi route altogether, and still understand whole story/dont miss anything important? Im aware of suggested route order, but i always go for best girl first, so i already "cheated". Thing is, im interested in other routes and story, save for Kasumi. So id gladly skip her completly, if i didnt miss anything that way. Also, does this novel have *true* route(Rea's?) or all are considered equally canon? Now, for Kei route - there are some things about ending, which i dont understand. -Is Kasumi's child going to germany to open sfatika there? It sure looked like it. -Also,after they escaped Reinhard's castle Ren and gang went destroying/sealing weapons but couldnt find anything about last 4 knights identity, do i think right, that 4 last knights are (unwilingly) Ren,Shirou,Kei and Kasumi child? -If so, how is it possible, especially in Ren's case? Another thing, if im right - does that mean they will be forced to obey Reinhard? That would implicate that Kei's route is essentially bad ending (and i really hope its not),since he said that they are his already. Or will they just be forced to participate in another battle royale (resulting in Mercurious & CO. demise, how i'd like to headcanon) as potential gates for sfastika? I'd like to think that Ren is now strong enough to beat Reinhard after 20 years of training with his friends, judging how much progres he made in two weeks, and how Kei labeled him as prodigy. -Are they "his" because he considers himself god now, or what did he meant? Would be very happy if someone could answer, after beating all routes i will probably look analysis of DI story, but for now im too afraid of potential spoilers. On a side not, have to say im little disapointed that Kei's route ended without proper conclusion, leaving too much to imagination, especially after all those Ren big words about "winning" his story with proper happy ending, reminded me little of Ayakashibito's Tonya route.
