The Moon's Cherished Flower

Woah! This was such a fantastical visual novel. I love how the diaries were all written and drawn on because it really looks like a child used it. Not only that, but the story was heartbreaking even through the different endings that can be found. I feel awful for Selene, to be born for such matters... And not at all loved just because her "future" was laid out for her... Why couldn't they let her grow up and be a child? Nothing stated that she had to be treated like this, and even then she was still a child with no one to rely on but her parents, and still they were so neglectful and uncaring for the 12 years Selene was in their life. It might have been just 12 years to the parents, but that was Selene's entire life! No school! No friends! No love! Or any sort of entertainment-- She was raised like cattle and it honestly felt so depressing just reading it. The neglect was so palpable that even I was worried for Selene even when I knew what the ending would be, but I still clung to the hope that Selene would be safe... And in some ways, she is.

Below I will be talking about the endings so beware of spoilers~!!

I have to say, as a normal person I would instantly go for the Ending 1 or 2 because surely, I'd be worried over the mental state of Selene. I was leaning towards Ending 1 because of how real and specific many of the descriptions Selene wrote were, and not only that but there was some sort of proof being shown. I also have to say, how was MC so deranged at Ending 3? Was it the beauty and fantastical nature that caused MC to lose his mind and long for the comfort of the Lady of the Moon? 

Yet, regardless to the state, in all endings you can tell MC genuinely cared for Selene so much. Even if in Ending 1 and 3 they were twisted (such as Ending 1 where I believe MC was consumed with guilt over his complacency in Selene's abuse, i.e. neglect, and poured everything in the chance to possibly redeem or save Selene, and in Ending 3 where MC did feel remorse and pity for Selene but it was twisted as though she was an idol or something like a guiding symbol for MC to start his cult in finding a way to get to the Moon), at their bare bones, it shows how MC cared for children and despised how hypocritical and awful his sister and her husband was.

Amazing work, I enjoyed reading through Selene's diary and I hope the best happened to Selene no matter how odd and mystical the story is~!

This is a lovely visual novel! I love the art, especially the varying emotions the artist put into the diary entries. I'm still curious about what happened to Selene though! Keep up the great work!
