neurocybernetics:

I just finished reading Floornight and I really liked it!

Some crappy observations/opinions/whatevers:

• it’s done to me what Evangelion probably was supposed to, but didn’t
  
• I liked that the world-changing apocalyptic event was presented in a positive-ish way - one of the biggest things I disliked about NGE (besides the unnecesary Freudian garbage) was that I was clearly supposed to think Instrumentality was bad, but I didn’t really see why

• for some reason it looked to me like something that has nonbinary characters, but it didn’t and I was mildly surprised
• shiny rainbow all-knowing Maria, the ridiculous Precure-esque glittery colour wave engulfing the simulated city and the giant army of feral magical children are my favourite fictional imagery now
  
• LUDWIG was a cinnamon roll
  
• Herm is not the best name for a trans character
• I was surprised that Kyle ended up unimportant, but I wouldn’t have wanted to see more of him
  
• the weird children’s mythology was great!  I’m not really sure what role puberty played in it though
• were the script scenes in the final chapter referencing the last episodes of Evangelion
  
• Ratio was a realistic and believable depiction of a person with an ASD, but as an autistic person who can barely count I’m still waiting for an autistic character who doesn’t rediscover an entire field of mathematics for fun
• I immensely enjoyed the changes in writing style and the metafictional layer
• I kind of really want to see the Metric S ethical status scale
• I don’t think I’ve ever read something that could’ve been as easily adapted into an anime
  
• “– we’re closer now, we’re so close we complete one another’s –” “– existences.”
• I’m definitely going to draw fanart
• please read Floornight if you haven’t already
