^^ Yeah, the main reason I had trouble with NIKKE is that sometimes it'll go for the jugular, and sometimes, it'll pull back. Such as mercy-killing a character in Chapter 1 only for that character to come back after briefly spending time as a villain.
The story that made me stop playing was Footstep, Walk, Run, which showed Rapi's backstory, going from a helpless, emotionless combat drone to getting a Dragon Ball Z-style super form without any real effort or character development to show for it.
Meanwhile, Mihara and Yuni's relationship is a Shakespearan tragedy almost from start to finish, with no chance for a happy ending in sight. A clear case of Bury Your Gays if there ever was one.
