People often say Muv Luv is slow at the start and gets better as you go. I'll just say how it went for me.

There are three parts in the Muv Luv Trilogy. Extra, Unlimited, and Alternative.

When I first started reading Extra, it seemed inane and cliche. It took me several months to get through it, because I wasn't really particularly invested.

When I hit Unlimited, suddenly it became pretty interesting! Still a little slow, but I was hooked. I played it when I had spare time over the course of a week or so.

When I hit Alternative, I literally could not put it down for anything. I literally did not sleep for nearly 72 hours until I finished it. By the end I was a complete emotional wreck.

Coming back to Extra, it's very emotional experience on your second playthrough. Everything I didn't care about before seems much more important, and there's lots of subtle little foreshadowing.

I'll admit that this game is the weaker half of the trilogy. But I still think it's absolutely worth it, and if purchased with its sequel (expected release winter 2016), then I'd absolutely recommend it. It goes places you won't expect, and has one of the roughest emotional rollercoasters I've ever experienced.
