Freakos 1. Civilization 0

the chapter starts out fine, but the second you hit the dark world it's when the problem starts. flower king is HUGE and extremely long and the encounters with the flowers go from charming to extremely padding incredibly quickly. i inmidietly got anoyed of em really fast, so any or all emotional beats with them did not hit whatsoever. its super easy to get lost in too, makes wanting to go back and traverse it a hastle and not fun. ESPECIALLY those plataforming segments

why is even japaned themed? why are the flowers even humans anyway?

i did not care for flowery or the "in ur face" love theme.

the chapter also honestly has 0 story going on, notihng we havent learned yet is shown, and despite this supposedly being ASGORE'S chapter he's barely in the damm thing. you'd think we could get to see him have a char arc through it like w berdly but instead its all shoved at the end at the last possible second and its the conclution we all knew he was going to reach anyway. not only that but like i said, the barage of minor side characters makes it all go to waste anyway.

the jongler pronounce thing also killed any and all mike excitement i had left honestly. i wasn't expecting that. i really wish toby hadnt even shown the mike cutscene because that's genuinely all the content we were gonna get anyway.
