Intro
Hi. These are my own notes that I made when reading through this VN,
and I figured instead of deleting it after reading this VN,
repurposing it into a reading log should be helpful for other people too.
It covers:
* Titles of all subchapters, meant to be useful for people re-reading
this VN.
* All choices.
* All chronological appearances of triggered achievements, useful for
achievement players.
If it isn't already obvious,
these notes are spoiler territory for those who haven't read Fata
Morgana yet.
Formatting
Things might be confusing if I don't explain how I present my notes, so
here they are.
"Example of among the earliest, significant words you should see at the
start of a chapter."

The Departed acheivement
Oh well, this is probably the only reason achievement players might want
to look at my notes.
Here's what I did that got me the achievement in a slightly faster way.
1. On your first reading of this VN, make sure to keep at least 1 save
file at this final choice.
_CHOICE MODE_
# Let's go @ ---------------------------------- Ending 7: Farewell
# There's one more stop to make. ✪
2. Clear the game for the first time. (must be End 8: Fata Morgana)
3. Start the game a 2nd time.
Dev says there's some new dialogue and stuff in the early half but I
mostly used the Skip Button.
4. Auto-skip all the way until the end of Chapter 4; don't forget the ✪
choices.
5. Tracking the progress of the auto-skip is easier if you open the VN
in windowed version,
Steam browser in windowed version on my subchapter notes,
then place both the VN and Steam windows side-by-side.
6. Unfortunately you can't just go AFK (away from keyboard) since the
VN will always stop skipping on choices, and there is at least one
scene transiton in Chapter 2 that forces the auto-skip back to normal.
7. I've timed myself in getting the achievement,
and auto-skipping all the way until the end of Chapter 4 takes
nearly 25- 30 minutes, yes.
8. Save your current reading on one file when you've entered the
beginning of Chapter 5.
9. Reload the save from this final choice.
_CHOICE MODE_
# Let's go @ ---------------------------------- End 7: Farewell
# There's one more stop to make. ✪
10. Skip and watch all the way to the end; End 8: Fata Morgana.
11. Achievement should trigger when the title screen appears again.
- There could be a scene nearer to the title screen that you could
reload your save from, but I didn't test this.

Extras
After you complete the game once, new content opens up in the Extras
section, namely:
* Art Gallery
* Concert Hall
* Backstage
Reading Backstage is hilarious, and it also gets you the last acheivement.
