Lingering Fragrance Reviews

the stories of "Lingering Fragrance" consist of three parts. here, i only provide summarization of them to avoid spoiling the stories further. [olist] [*][b]Lingering[/b] is the main story. it pretty much tells about a couple of students (the main character and his girlfriend named Daisy) who want to spend their remaining high school days before they separate because of having to go to college. in order to achieve that, they’ve booked a 2-day trip to a luxurious resort. although they can only afford free facilities there, they try their best to spend all they have until the very last moment. the couple also know very well that they probably won’t meet and remember each other anymore. [*][b]Fragrance[/b] is the first alternative story. it provides a new route of the MC’s life, in which he becomes a part of exiled community known as “Nothing” and lives in the dumping ground. when he managed to escape after having been there for so long, he meets a random girl. the further he interacts with her, the more he imagines of Daisy. for me, this is the most depressing part. [*][b]Nothing[/b] is the concluding part. it tells about the MC who initially lived normally for most of his life, but has to face punishment because of law violation. [/olist] all parts have the same lining, which is the government. to put a bit of context, the “fate” of MC and other characters has been sealed by them since the beginning. that’s why the “dystopian world" is perfectly desribed throughout the VN. enough with the stories, here are my pros and cons.
