ver. Update 2.0
Overall: Still a 3/5
I am kind of repeating my review from last time, but the use of ChatGPT for the dialogue and AI generated music is still apparent in this present version. So, moving forward......don't expect anything different. The use of ChatGPT makes the dialogue feel unnatural and unnecessarily wordy. When characters try to make a point, they come off too profound and out of character. The conflict between the two groups the Wave Kings and Rebels seems like an interesting concept at first glance, but the dialogue and setup hinder this tremendously. It makes it seem like a weak middle school brawl with no substance or stakes. I think if the writing and setup were better, this'll be one of the best VNs on this site because of the concept and setting. At the moment that is not the case.

The game visually looks amazing, and the renders look amazing, but there is one thing that threw me off.... it is the writing. I have a feeling that it was fully written by ChatGPT given by the way the characters speak, and the music seems to be made using AI as well. I mean you could tell almost right away if you had used ChatGPT to create your own story before. I got to say the setting and exposition is unique and fun, and the story seems interesting. It's a game that pulls you in, but it leaves you feeling like there is something off about it. I have nothing against using AI as a tool to generate ideas and create art (for developers who lack the means to hire artist or create their own art)...BUT to create all the dialogue for the game using ChatGPT gives me a bunch of mixed feelings. Is anything from the game an original idea from the dev or was it purely made through ChatGPT?
Visuals/Renders: 5/5
Narrative/Setting: 4/5
Dialogue: 2/5 (uses/created through ChatGPT)
Music: Okay-ish, but also AI created and generated (SunoAI)
Content: Fair
Overall: 3.5/5
