I finished Sweet Pool a few days back. To the anon in the last thread who said it was soul crushing, I wholeheartedly agree. Goddammit, every time I hear 'Miracles May' or 'calm02' tears well up. It was unexpectedly moving, and Fuchii Kabura's writing has improved in spades since Togainu no Chi. She was able to write a very convincing relationship without resorting to the usual shit that plagues the genre. It was reminiscent of Fuminori and Saya's relationship actually, which isn't surprising since Urobuchi was Sweet Pool's advisor.

Fuchii wrote what she wanted to write and didn't care about appealing to the readers. It's kind of frustrating that so many people are turned off of it due to shitting out meat monsters, but it can't be helped, I guess. I'd no problems with it, save for everything involving Kunihito and the meat lord towards the end, and those notes that Kitani came across about the female/male. I can't even.
