Yup, pretty much the reason I haven’t posted my entire thoughts here yet, either.
Sometimes it really does drag on…

Very intriguing 
Hm, I guess that depends on what you are looking for!
Manga: Favorite manga is NANA, mostly because I loved it when I was younger but rereading now and it still holds! ダンジョン飯 is another favorite, fun humour and DnD like adventures. よつばと! was a hit for me, found it very wholesome and was my first introduction to what can life be like in Japan (had never seen the inside of a house and knew nothing of the culture when I started it). ロジカとラッカセイ has only 3 volumes and is very unique, recommend strongly. It is both funny, dark and wholesome at the same time.
Novels: don’t have many to recommend yet. あなたも殺人犯になれる! I liked a lot because it is short chapters and very action packed so very easy to follow at my level. Same with 怪人二十面相 (though slightly more difficult vocab), plus it’s a classic and sometimes referenced in other media. It’s also free to read because outside copyright! Enjoyed the first volume of 薬屋のひとりごと but it was a tough read, I will try to read more of it when my Japanese is better (should be OK by the time I’ve emptied my backlog of already bought stuff 
)

Comments on door 4 (with spoilers)
It’s not a whole review of the whole door but more the comments that I wrote down as I was playing.
and here I was complaining (in my head) that this VN didn’t have a lot of choices x)
私が、死に至らしめている。
This one puzzled me a bit but found what it meant on bunpro
Seems like there are a lot of verbs in the らしめる form, hadn’t really noticed them before.
もう見たくはない。……こりごりだ。
nice vocab
Very touching scene in the parc, when Michel reveals his secret to Gisèle. Also touching when she tells him that she wants to stay by his side because she loves him (if you forget the fact that she’s 10 I think? and that he looks like a grown up adult)
ええ――それは、本当に儚い夢でございました。
Combo!
Was (a bit) surprised to see that the girl with white hair didn’t die. I am getting vibes of Romeo and Juliet here, impossible love, lovers both die by suicide, in theory, actually in the end, only one actually died and the other one commits suicide when they find out.
I don’t think it was officially told before now, that the maid was Morgana. The name was mentionned before, but not who it was. Then when it was told how girl with white hair was called (Gisèle), I had assumed that Morgana must be the maid, but now it’s official. Officially a witch too. Funny that Morgana gets her name in that scene, but Gisèle is still always called the girl with white hair by the interface, maybe it will be relevant at some point.
Very cool scene with Morgana offering eternal rebirth. Now all that has happened until now makes much more sense! Almost feels like the VN is just starting now, exciting
