Perfect guide, screenshots, and some reflections on the Saber route in "Fate/Stay Night".

A post with this title appeared on Mirai-sensei no Ie's forum. As soon as it was published, it attracted the attention of hundreds of readers, who clicked in surprise.

"Is there really a guide for this game?"

After reading the content, everyone was stunned. In addition to the detailed guide, the post also contained numerous screenshots. The exquisiteness of these images was surprising.

Below the guide was a paragraph with reflections on the game, full of praise and admiration. The author of the post was a high-level player in the video game industry. He described "Fate/Stay Night" as the ultimate expression of music, words, and images.

"I had never played such a beautiful game. After playing it, I felt liberated and satisfied. I couldn't help but cry for this story and its protagonist: the Knight King Saber."

Many people say that Saber insulted King Arthur, but they surely haven't finished reading this story. If you finish it, you will better understand Saber in "Fate/Stay Night". She is governed by the spirit of chivalry, always puts honor and dignity first, and possesses all the qualities of an excellent king.

I admit I'm fascinated by her. I prepared for an hour to write this guide, but until now, my mind is still full of Saber's voice, her smile, her appearance, and her story. I have no words to describe the place she holds in my heart, from her impressive first appearance to the tranquility of sleeping under the tree at the end. I believe she is perfect from beginning to end.

There is no second king like her in any literary work. She makes people cry. Mirai-sensei is undoubtedly an artist with extraordinary skills. I believe this statement is not an exaggeration. The Saber he wrote will undoubtedly drive many people crazy in the near future.

"Saber, you are my eternal king..."

The post greatly praised the game, and the forum readers were enthusiastic.

"Is it true? Is it really that good? Didn't everyone say it was bad?"

The user replied: "They didn't play it seriously. 'Fate/Stay Night' is a game that must be enjoyed carefully. I just finished the first route and now I feel the horror of the game. There are other routes to come. I decided to take a break before playing."

"Hey, no, I deleted the game! Can the activation code be reused?"

The user replied: "I don't know, my condolences...".

"You're joking! A bad game is a bad game, and you'll die infinitely!"

The user replied: "Haha, then don't play it if you have the skill...".

The discussion about this post was very intense. But there were still readers who refused to believe it. Until more readers who had completed the Saber route returned to the forum, they posted one post after another praising the game. For a while, all of Mirai-sensei's home was filled with praise for "Fate/Stay Night".

Readers finally realized something was wrong. How could such a bad game receive so much praise? They were eager to play again after reading the online guides.

"The Collector's Edition is sold out, damn it!" Some readers wanted to buy the Collector's Edition, but found that there was no stock left. They couldn't help but curse: "How fast those speculators are!"

But others bought the Collector's Edition in advance and laughed: "Who told you not to believe Mirai-sensei? I told you a long time ago, when has Mirai-sensei made a bad work?"

At Mirai-sensei's home, the afternoon scene was completely different from the morning.

A man who was at work saw the change and sighed: "Mirai-sensei is making miracles again."

Several colleagues beside him asked him what was wrong. After he told the story, everyone laughed.

"Don't joke, how is that possible?"

"Hahahaha, how funny! A game has completely opposite reviews on the same day, even the biggest idiot knows it's impossible!"

At the same time, in the rented house, Kenji had a nightmare.

He played "Fate/Stay Night" all night, narrowed his eyes for less than an hour early in the morning, rushed out to work, and fell completely asleep upon returning home.

However, in his dreams, he encountered bloody scenes.

"Ah, Shirou!"

Kenji had another dream. He was hacked to death in the game. He was so scared that he sweated all over and sat up in bed.

After taking a deep breath, Kenji's mind cleared. He saw his girlfriend sitting by the computer, focused on the game.

"What are you doing? Why didn't you wake me up when I got back?"

Kenji was a little sad. He slowly got up and walked over, but he was stunned after a few steps. He saw that the computer his girlfriend turned on showed a familiar image: the game screen for "Fate/Stay Night".

"Did I tell you you're crazy?"

A flash of fear crossed his mind. It was the shadow of the dream from a moment ago. But Kenji immediately felt curious. His girlfriend saw him playing so miserably, but she still dared to play?

"Ah, you're awake, don't bother me, I have a guide!"

The girlfriend looked at Kenji and said indifferently, then she turned around and continued playing.

"Strategy?"

Kenji approached and saw that his girlfriend wasn't playing in full screen. Next to the game window, there was a document with densely written options. It was, indeed, a strategy guide for "Fate/Stay Night".

"How can someone write a strategy guide for such a bad game?" Kenji asked, somewhat impressed. The person who wrote the strategy guide was truly determined. I don't know how many times he died.

"It's not a bad game, you just don't know how to play it!"

However, his girlfriend dismissed his words. She frowned and said: "Now everyone online says this game is excellent. No one who has played it says it's bad."

"Besides, this is just one route... I heard that thousands of people are now trying to complete the second route. When I finish reading Saber's story, new strategies will also be published."

Kenji found it amusing. He reached out and touched his girlfriend's forehead: "What are you talking about? Are you sick?"

"You're sick!" His girlfriend slapped him and said: "Think quickly about what to do. I read the report you wrote today. It's too fake. The editor-in-chief is about to call you to scold you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Kenji's mobile phone rang. He took it out and looked at it, revealing a ghostly expression: it was actually the editor-in-chief.

"Hello, editor-in-chief..."

Kenji answered the phone, and before he could say anything, a sudden roar came from the other side: "To hell with this garbage, we're almost becoming a joke! Mirai-sensei's new game is receiving tons of good reviews online!"

The huge roar made Kenji's eardrums vibrate. He couldn't believe it. Did it really have so many good reviews online? Although he hadn't yet recovered his composure, Kenji flinched and immediately bowed his head to apologize.

"I'm sorry, editor-in-chief, I was wrong!"

His attitude was good, and the roar from the other end of the microphone ceased; only a sigh came out...

"Forget it, anyway, we're not the only ones being treated as a joke. All the morning's media and magazines are being mocked. Mirai-sensei, that demon, is always bad every time you see him!"

It wasn't the first time the media had been slapped in the face by the mangaka, but the editor-in-chief could only complain. He repeated: "Play again tonight and write your thoughts tomorrow...".

This sentence confused Kenji. He wanted to die playing last night. Now he had to die playing again?

"Editor-in-chief, editor-in-chief...".

Before he could refuse, the phone hung up on him...

Kenji almost cried, but luckily, his girlfriend took his hand at one point, smiled, and said: "I'll play with you...".

That night, Kenji and his girlfriend played together. Thanks to a save file and a strategy guide, the process was very smooth, and the Saber route ended before ten at night.

After playing, his girlfriend wiped away her tears: "What a beautiful story, what great music and graphics...! What a great game!"

But Kenji suddenly stood up, pale. His girlfriend asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"

"This game is excellent, but I don't feel any pain!" Kenji scratched his head and cried sadly: "First he severely tortured me and then he cured me. Devil? Is Mirai-sensei a demon?"

This game is like two different games when played with and without the guide. How could Mirai-sensei be so cruel!

"I'll never trust Mirai-sensei again. If he releases another game, definitely...", Kenji said seriously under his girlfriend's gaze: "I must wait for the guide to come out before playing!"
