I read slowly through Lucia's route again, I've come to be ok with all the parts now . It's a cool route. I was too emotionally charged the first time.

Spoiler for Lucia:

The fights with Lucia were honestly not that bad, I finally saw it as kind of cool. It's not as cool or dramatic as it could be, but I think I was wrong to have laughed at it the first time. I was too in romance land and way too serious and emotional, for me I was finally able to find the last scene a little enjoyable by bringing indifference and some feelings that Lucia was in the wrong. That was my biggest problem, I was not seeing Lucia as an enemy toward the end or I wasn't believing it. I forgot how badly her personality seemed split before. The transformation iin the game was too tame. A better buildup would have worked out to be a lot more dramatic and effective for the climactic action scenes. Such as if she had a mental breakdown after seeing the deadbodies from her poison and then have Lucia stand over some bodies and cackle when Koutaro first sees her. Then it would have really felt like they had to fight to save Lucia from herself. In the real route it seems that Lucia is herself but just wants to hear the right words from Koutaro for a little insurance. Hardly a reason to fight.
