Ok, I was finally able to play through the entire Evermore Bond event (the 6 chapters for each LI), and I can confidently say that Sylus ATE this entire banner between this event and the 5-star card. Crowned victor on the podium.
The Evermore Bond chapters felt more coherent with the vows/proposal theme even more than the cards you pull for it, which are instead a single episode with the space anomalies that at times goes in conflict with established canon timelines. And for those fans who complained that MC felt too detached in those cards, the chapters definitely fix it.
The issue I have is that Evermore Bond makes more sense than some of the cards. For example, with Raf it's clear this event takes place as a proper vow/proposal event, whereas the 5-star card contradicts itself with dialogues about the Tome and the Sea God which makes it sound like they're way earlier into their relationship, but at the same time they're not.
Same issue with Caleb, with the card playing an odd back and forth with their relationship development (before his birthday? after his birthday? It becomes contradictory either way, like it's playing the same narrative plot point in both), whereas the chaptered event is way more coherent. [Also it's important to consider the original translation, once again, because it is extremely relevant to his characterization]
Zayne's was fine in both, and the placement in the canon timeline is only complicated by the latest addition to the main story, Death&Rebirth. But we can easily place it in the future.
Xavier's was also fine in both, no issues with continuity with him.
I reiterate my point about making sure you play through all the chapters (even on auto and 2x if you want to play them properly later) so that you have them available in your With Him menu after the event ends.
