Congrats on making it through Takuâs route! So glad to hear youâre planning on playing Slow Damage all the way through, itâs a VN that deserves it for how much it offers players, imho. To answer your question, this is a rare case for me where I donât have a preferred route; each are so essential to understanding Towa, they are all always a part of my replays. Looking back in totality, the âtrueâ route was the most rewarding/emotionally gratifying for me, but it wasnât specifically because of the love interest involved, and I donât think it would have had the impact it did without the build up from the other routes. Itâs probably because Slow Damage is truly Towaâs story at its core, unlike a lot of other VNs where the love interestsâ stories hold more of the narrative weight. Which isnât necessarily a bad thing, but Towa is such an enigmatic protagonist, Iâm glad he really gets to shine in this game. Itâs so good!
