I think you got really upset because you couldn't prove me wrong. And that's okay. You shouldn't be ashamed at this frustration or at losing the argument. It was all pre-determined.

>Alternative rips out everything you thought you knew and loved.

I didn't care about any of the girls other than Meiya, and they spent so much time pandering to each archetype that even the one you were most attached to had a weak emotional attachment.

In the words of Sun Tzu, "Reinforce your right flank, and your left will be weak. Reinforce your left flank, and your right will be weak. Reinforce both, and both will be weak."

I did cry in Kashgar though. However, I felt nothing about all of the other characters aside from Meiya dying.

By the way, is there a word for that thing where the writers destroy the protagonist's "home" right before the finale? Why do they do that? Just to give it a bit of a 'the world is ending' vibe and keep the viewer uncomfortable?

Examples from stuff I've seen recently:

The military base is destroyed by BETA attack in Muv-Luv Alternative (which is why I'm mentioning this)

The Nostromo is self-destructed before Ripley fights the Xenomorph in "Alien."

Batman's house is torched by Ra'as Al-Ghul in one of the Batman movies, before the final stretch.

I can't remember others but I remember seeing it in loads of stories.

My Ayayas are a bit jostled.

Saber would have been so much better without the no-fun-allowed mindset.

It's kind of annoying how writers 'minmax' their characters' personalities. People don't have to be to be on an extremity of some continuum to be interesting.
