I've watched the anime of this vn and it didn't make sense and it was way too rushed, so I decided to just go to the source material instead, and I am glad that I did. The main girl of this episode is Noa, a cute chuuni girl. This game is the cumulation of the prequels so I do not think this should be the first episode that someone should play. This episode has probably the most amount of character growth and progression, while this episode is focused in noa as the main girl, you still get a lot of interaction with other characters, it felt like we are in the same timeline as the third episode with slight changes. This episode got you looking at the events at the prequels and that is how our timeline of romancing noa comes to be. It’s pretty obvious that we are romancing Noa but the story doesn't force this and it takes its time with the flow of the story without dragging it out too much. It’s bittersweet to see this series end in a way as you can see how the previous chapters built up to this moment. A lot has happened and to me it seems like that the narrative properly explain any big lingering questions. It was nice to see the protagonist become a capable lead character. His character kinda falls onto those pervy or other tropes but honestly it's pretty normal for his age. I would just expect him to be more traumatized, but he still holds true to his cool and capable personality, which works in its own way. This episode is more or less all about tying up loose ends, saving everyone, and defeating the villain. The pacing was a bit staggered for me, but I felt the narrative balanced the bulk of it. Although I'd like to see what happened to the timeline on where iris was killed because I wanted to know what happen on that branch since every girl is dead and yoichi is ded. And of course, I played with the 18+ patch so idk how it was like without it. The scenes are fairly spread out in the middle end and at the end unlike the third episode which basically shoved it all at the end. The CGs get really good here as it really did impact the emotions that the characters felt or feel. From episode 1 to 4, this is a great conclusion to the series that only stumbles in the pacing of a few points of the story. But honestly I enjoyed practically every second of it. It enhanced the memories made in the prequels while building a new timeline of events to provide a unique experience to readers.

Well, first of all... i'm not into this kind of chuuni-ish story. But... this chapter 4, it's just too good to not like it. The plot twist, is just mind blowing. To me, it's perfect way to end the series. Also Yuuki's gap moe is so cute, i love her (Sora still the best tho)

✔️ Tested on Steam Deck, it works fine (12/09/2025). 'A' button to advance text and touchscreen/buttons for menu and choices. Definitely the best episode in the series, still pretty weak by my standards. It's true that the writing is way better and the author makes a solid use of the visual novel format to integrate the plot. Still the romance feels like a shoehorned awkward subplot that drags the pacing quite a lot, even making the ending a bit anticlimatic. I really liked the concept of breaking the 4th wall but it's noticeable its potential is held back by the mediocre character routes from previous episodes.

Absolute cinema episode. Noa is such a cute and lovable character, I loved her development to overcome her own trauma and slowly opening up to Kakeru, what a great character and good romance. Also, damn Noa is passionate and the spicy content def shows it😊 The story is finally reaching it's conclusion, with one last fight, we thought we defeated Iris. But my god, I was wrong, once she pulled out the "Killer Queen: Bites the Dust" (those who know Jojo part 4)IN THE ENDING CREDITS, faking her death to create her own Overlord artifact. It took such a dark turn with the constant back and forth and when all hopes seems lost, my man run it back one more time and that fight was epic. Bringing back everyone from all the branches and utilizing every ability gained. Holy that fight was a feast for the eyes and def the hypest I've ever been in this series. Overall, this was def one of the best episodes by far, while I do love the emotional rollercoaster that Sora gave me on episode 2, this basically gave me everything I would want and exceed my expectations many times. Great conclusion and I'm grateful I got into this series, a whole lot of fun and great cast of characters. 9/10
