Man I don't know if it's just because I haven't engaged in an event in a while, but the flow in this one feels really bad. I like when it's "read a little, do a battle" and then repeat that. This one is like 8+ nodes of just reading shit with a 3 enemy battle mashed in between on like 1-2 nodes.
There have been some funny moments but there's just so much time/attention commitment to read this stuff and most of it is just cotton candy garbage (fun but no substance).
A lot of the story is some dialog and then some monsters show up. That isn't anything new, even for what main story you've completed.
Their summer events are usually on the goofy side so there is a lot of fluff. I quick read a lot of it. It does give some character growth to Skadi and the Valkyries though. If you played each day, each part can be done in a half hour or so. It feels like more time if you have several parts you're trying to do all at once.
Content takes time. Regardless of what type. Watching a movie takes time. Reading books takes time. Reading a visual novel takes time. It's the nature of the beast.
With the blue apple system, you can save your AP till you unlock better nodes in events. If you're caught up, you will have over 1300 of the item for blue apples.
Gotta take each part for what it is. A non-serious event, take the goofiness for what it is. For the serious stuff, take it all in.
If you're looking for serious stuff, LB5 ends on a banger. LB6 has some humor mixed in but gets pretty serious when it needs to.
Don't forget to keep picking at the main story for the upcoming events.
