Totally feel ya, but altough the Characters in said VN are apealing to me, the rest, is a total no go, now back on topic.
One thing what makes this VN so fascinating, is the deepness of the characters, and the pacing (although Riley Blueballs syndrome starts to hurt sometimes) they all are different, and it is good shown, Vanessa (Ice queen) was the most difficult to charactize, in my opinion, and dev had a few struggles with her, but finally she comes around, also she and Riley are the most complex characters, he conveys their personallity quite good, there are 3 ways how you dialoges have to be to score, sometimes it is a combination between funny and reliable, also your personality trait has a great weight in how you score with the main LI, has a good background story developing so yeah I'm shure you will have your fun,
