We've seen you talk about the other writers a handful of times, so penny for your thoughts on OKSG?
OKSG is a pretty limited person. He knows the things he knows in a lot of depth, but it doesn't feel like knows a lot of things, or at least to broaden his content repertoire. He's OKSG, the guy from Oita who made and managed Type-Moon's website. This sentence is enough to track back to all his content.
He's enough of a Sei Shounagon fan to name himself after her okashige aesthetic, and proves his merit by making really obscure references to factoids about her. He's from Oita and proves by making an Azumi no Isora character based on a version of his myth accepted only in one (1) shrine located probably where his childhood home is. He is a long-standing Type-Moon member, so most of his events are centered on past Type-Moon characters. He's a veteran web designer, so he shows off how online he is, but naturally mixing vintage and current memes in his character dialogue.
Well, he wrote little enough that I can comment on everything. Starlit Marmalade can't make its slice of life fun, and Sarashina is a super boring villain. Nagiko's Valentine makes perfect decisions for what Nagiko's character should be, but the plot is about offensive parodies of The Tale of Genji and that's the part we're forced to sit through 80% of the time. It sucks for the reader as much as it sucks for Murasaki. Caren's Valentine is too bonkers to be funny. Bazett's Valentine is his best work, filling all the checkmarks of what a FGO Bazett story should do.
It's one of those events where Fujimaru solves a Singularity because Singularities are bad by default. There's no moral discussion against either Siebold or Umisachihiko. They're both virtuous and reasonable antagonists. There's no big stakes in the conflict, and most importantly, Fujimaru's victory feels unrewarding. Chikagi is more enjoyable when her story is not about Chidori and Isora's character is decently charming, but I don't feel like either of them built a personal enough connection to the antagonist duo.
