I think the reason why I adored Fata a lot is that it's quite unlike anything I've seen. Along with its aesthetically unique artwork and its incredible OST. It nailed the storytelling, characterization, atmosphere, thematic execution & emotional value to the right degree for me
The structure of VN is very bold and experimental. It's just so cohesive with its endless twists and foreshadowing while also having many incredible narrative payoffs.
What really sets THiFM apart from the rest is how it do that with such a unique surrealistic setting that constantly changes and become something completely different in each chapters.
Not simply different plot but also different cast, era, setting, themes and atmosphere in those while the foundation of all that was meticulously laid out for the very cohesive overarching narrative. Its dynamic evolution in terms of storytelling is very compelling & astounding.
It feels so planned from beginning to the end with great character work. Rather than being a flaws, the way almost every characters from different stories is woven into the plot and all have an impact on it despite them not consistently on screen is very impressive to me.
While having some of the greatest dual MCs & heroines I've seen in japanese media. They're flawed & masterfully written characters that display various emotions, in addition to them having so many layers that are explored through events which only increasingly thematic relevancy.
The presentation is something I can't see being done in other mediums as the build-up to certain scenes and their revelation wouldn't be as effective outside of the this medium.
As not only it manage to convey type of visual & unreliable narrator that only works for VN, it's also subtlely conveying hidden characterization for the cast. It's the masterful use of VN capabilities and the type of storytelling that take advantage of its potential to the best
Another thing I always like abt Fata is that rather just abt how different pov led to different truth. What it actually convey is more abt how it is worth to forgive people.
Sometimes people was consumed by hatred and just can't forgive them. Fata doesn't take away anyone their disatisfaction nor try to preachy abt any grand moral to the reader
But rather beg them to consider a question abt how it might be better for those who looking for revenge or judgement to seek for peace, nor on anyone but themselves.

This aspect was beautifully integrated in Morgana character and her relationship with the sinners.
It's much more intriguing & nuanced themes than simply improving empathy and understanding for other since sometimes the actions can never be justified regardless of the truth behind them.
What it actually argues, it is worth it to forgive people but sometimes one can't forgive them and that's fine to. What is the most important is that the hatred doesn't define anyone.
The VN does not begrude anyone their rage but rather it asks the question: people can seek revenge or justice, but might it be better if they just sought peace for themselves?
this is much more complex than "showing the real truth behind everytime's actions". As sometimes those actions can never be justified or doesn't have any truth hidden.
Fata is a tale about moving forward in spite of all tragedies in your life, but it's also about learning to love yourself & coming to terms with your failures, regrets and past. It understands that for survivors of trauma
It never diminishing the strength it takes to let go of something you hate but also tells you to made up for it by appreciating the happiness moments you share with others.
