Just found this game recently and I absolutely love it. The dialogue is so well written and I love the bits of humor sprinkled in here and there, given that it's a fairly serious story.
I guess a quick look through the thread and it seems like some are upset at the rate of progress, maybe something I might feel down the line but as a newcomer, there was a lot of content and I was quite happy with it.
I guess if you're really gunning for one of (or some/all of) the students as your favorite LI, then I could see why you might be let down waiting for some progress with them...
Personally, I don't know if I'm in the minority here, but I'm here for Sophia. I absolutely love her character, her looks, the background story she has, the way she treats the MC or how she acts in general, even her humor. I'm probably a little biased since we get a lot of time with her, but I love everything so far!
