无论如何，这个故事值得一个好评 先说缺点吧 1、立绘我看下来最好看的还是阿麟本体，还有就是阿求（但是阿秋色调也太亮了）其他角色说实话质量有点低了，前后画风有些地方还有点不一致，琉璃这个原创女主的脸有点不太行 2、真在剧情里活跃的车万角色有点少了，最多的居然是阿求、大狸子、妹红，不过标题毕竟是夜明前（看到标题就知道肯定要说灵梦登场前的事了，但是人里居然没乡长还是很让人意外啊） 3、信息量炸弹，剧情整体还是挺缜密闭环的，但一下子给的信息还是太多了，权谋起来也很烦人呢，不过故事把控的很不错，只要跟着剧情走，不去思考回看也没什么影响 优点主要还是故事，我最喜欢的就是这样的故事 讲的是一个自愿牺牲的故事，讲的是一个没有人需要牺牲的故事，讲的是一个众志成城的故事，讲的是一个人定胜天的故事 固然，近乎一个童话，但我希望我们同样可以奔向这样一个童话般的结局 这个故事里的很多话，很多内容，很多表达的东西，是中国人所独有的 ”讲好中国故事，不一定要讲中国的故事” 我由衷的希望有更多的朋友能来看看这个故事 Anyway, this story deserves a positive review. Let's start with the drawbacks: 1.In terms of the artwork, the best-looking character is still Arin herself, along with Akyuu (though Akyuu's color palette is way too bright). Honestly, the quality of the other characters feels a bit lacking, and there are some inconsistencies in the art style between different parts. Ruri, the original female protagonist, has a rather unappealing face. 2.There are actually very few Touhou characters who actively play a role in the plot. The most prominent ones are Akyuu, Mamizou, and Mokou. However, since the title is "Before Dawn" (which already hints that the story is set before Reimu's appearance), it's still quite surprising that the Village Chief doesn't make an appearance. 3.The sheer volume of information is overwhelming. Overall, the plot is quite intricate and forms a closed loop, but the amount of exposition delivered at once is still excessive, and the political maneuvering can be quite tiresome. That said, the storytelling is well handled—as long as you follow the narrative without overanalyzing or looking back, it doesn't hinder the experience. The main strength is still the story itself, and this is exactly the kind of story I love most. It's a story about willing sacrifice; it's a story about no one needing to be sacrificed; it's a story about unity and solidarity; it's a story about human determination triumphing over fate. Admittedly, it's almost like a fairy tale, but I hope we can all move toward such a fairy-tale ending. Many of the words, many of the themes, and many of the sentiments expressed in this story are uniquely Chinese. "To tell a good Chinese story, you don't always have to tell a story about China." I sincerely hope more people will come and experience this story.

很好的故事。世界观构架很精彩，人间之里的社会结构和和妖怪的外交关系描写的很好。以 人间之里的政变 为主线，所以推理内容不那么多，主要的是看老狐狸在勾心斗角。 阿求， 小樱桃（原创角色），文，椛 的立绘很可爱。
