I first read this with an unofficial fan translation ages ago. By buying it here and now I thought I was just giving back to the people that had made part of my teenagehood a better time than it could have been - I didn't expect to actually re-read it. But I gave it a shot and I'm hooked all over again. In my opinion this is consistently the best VA I'd ever read. It is somehow the greatest comedy and the greatest tragedy at the same time and the tragedy (for the most part) is a lot more nuanced and sophisticated than you'd expect from visual novel writing. The so-called true route is so unrelentingly melancholy that it's hard to bear, but at the same time it's brilliant. I feel like dying right after reading it would have been a good end to life. That in some ways, this will never be peaked. I wish I were fluent enough in English to repeat all of that 10 more times in different words to properly convey how much I love this VA.

I've enjoyed almost all of Key's visual novels, but Rewrite was an unknown. I'd heard it was a departure from Clannad and Little Busters, but that was it. Now that I've finished it, here's my takeaway: Common Route: 10/10 (classic Key) Heroine Routes: 8/10 (hit or miss, but interesting) Ending Routes: 6/10 (Moon was confusing, Terra tested my patience) I'm conflicted about this game. One on hand, Rewrite's common route is one of Key's best. The character chemistry and slice-of-life comedy are outstanding and I didn't want it to end. However, I had no interest in the lore about superhumans, summoners, familiars, and secret societies , leading to long stretches of boredom. As expected of a Key game, the music is excellent. Shinji Orito provides some great tracks, and Jun Maeda's contributions to the soundtrack were much appreciated. I only wish he'd worked on the story too. The five heroine routes were varied but good overall. Kotori's was the best (always choose the childhood friend). Lucia's was bonkers with bioterrorism, mass murder, and the US nuking Japan . Chihaya's dragged in spots but was fun. Akane's was grim, and Shizuru's route... well, Shizuru's a good kid. I didn't dislike any of them. The ending routes are a slog. Kagari, the main heroine, gets little screen time, dialogue, and characterization. For most of the story, she's a prop. Yet somehow Kotarou falls in love with her and betrays or kills almost everyone he meets for her sake . Supposedly it's for the sake of humanity and the planet too, but to be honest, I just stopped caring. I finished the game out of stubbornness more than anything. Despite the disappointing ending, Rewrite's closing message was intriguing. It suggests that humans will inevitably consume resources until the earth is drained. This sounds grim, but it's delivered more as a plain statement of fact rather than a lamentation. At any rate, it was an interesting change from the usual save-the-trees sermons. In conclusion, this is still a good visual novel despite its flaws. It's worth reading for the common route alone. I'd recommend it for Key fans and those who like stories with extensive lore. I am not one of the latter, but I am a Key fan, so take this recommendation for what it's worth.

Have mixed feelings about this vn. Overall, would still consider this a pretty good novel and would recommend it for anyone who enjoys Key's works. The different writing styles between routes caught me off guard, and as a result I felt some routes were much better than others. The final route was pretty confusing, the overall plot/message was amazing but the delivery felt a bit lacking.

"Two tsunderes in one series is too much? No! It still not enough!" Rewrite is only long Key's Vn that I read so far that use political power as the main plot. I feel not dissapointed by it. At first, I am expected that this will looks like standars Key VN where you enter the route and feel depressed about heroine background. Well, this basically same, but they add another spice to make it more interesting. If you love shounen action and overpower protagonist, than you gonna love it. And I really love it!

Jan. 2024

Rewrite is written by 3 different authors writing their own route(s), so the story can be all over the place sometimes, same with the quality of the routes. Some are good and slow-burn, another is an action shounen that overstay its welcome, the other can be frustrating to read, and other just feel like it doesn't even need to be there. There are also several inconsistencies across the routes. The "true" route is alright and well-paced imo. It starts off interesting and becomes a bit stale later on, but not to the point of making me not want to continue. In a way, it is refreshing that each route has its own vibe. But the problem is that the parts that should be consistent like the limitations or characteristics of certain things are also different. I enjoy the OSTs and the "exploration" segment which works like in Ace Attorney where you click point-of-interests and texts will start displaying and stuff. It contains fun conversations and events. I have read Clannad, Little Busters!, and Planetarian and love them all. If you want something like those then this VN is not it. Not saying Rewrite is bad, but I personally don't place it above those three. If you have 100hrs to spare, then give it a try. It's not amazing but there are some messages to think about (I guess).
