This VN really gave me a lot to think about. I've always been conflicted about what it means to be selfless: is it selfless if you get satisfaction from helping people? do you need to be on equal footing with someone to love them? is it wrong to want something in return?
I've never read a story that addresses these ideas so directly. And that's not even the half of it: there were a ton of thought-provoking dialogues (I won't list them because I don't want to spoil it for anyone reading) that got me thinking about things like self-esteem, sexuality and validation, and how respect plays into romantic relationships. I actually got so engrossed in it that I stayed up reading until 4 AM when I had work the next day lol.
Aa thank you so much for your comment! It really is appreciated! I'm glad that the story was able to resonate with you! 🙏 I received some negative feedback from people because they thought Abel was too unlikeable as a character haha, but people aren't always 100% likeable: especially if they're going through difficult times. Writing a character with so many Issues was also quite a challenge, but hopefully he feels realistic because of it!
In any case, thank you so much for the feedback! I hope you were alright at work the next day too haha ;;
This is a lovely VN! Adorable people who are slowly growing tender feelings to each other. The dramas and resolutions were enjoyable, it was a nice experience! The art is so beautiful and the bgm is also very relaxing. Very nicely done! Now I want to read the other Fairy stories. ^~^
The Fairy's Song/Secret are both summarised at the start of In Fair Spirits, so you should be able to understand the plot without any problems. It might be a bit overwhelming to get infodumped for like 5 mins at the start of the VN, but the rest of the story is a pretty fluffy slice of life thing, so it's not too complicated.

Will I understand the story if I play this one first?
