I finished this VN and I gotta say, after getting to Lizzy ending choice, I was bitter about what Dev had done to her. I went to check some discussions here before proceeding as I dont mind some spoilers, read some opinions here and there and I ended up expecting terrible endings.
Then I played all endings and I think they werent as bad as everyone said they are, I kinda liked them, but they were rushed for sure. I think the last ending choice shouldve been followed by extra scenes after to build it up, last goodbyes and such.
But the Lizzy ending... that itself was just polyamory, which was fine, as much as I hate it personally. But making her like that out of nowhere? Her story was gutted the worst way possible. It felt like there was supposed to be a "Lizzy true ending" at the end, since everything hinted at her being brainwashed, but the developer didnt give Lizzy proper ending and just gutted her by making Clara say later that she wasnt brainwashed, which is definitely NOT true. This sucks, because I started liking her later on, especially when she said to MC, she only has eyes for him, before leaving...
Personally, I also hated Cora's character. Maybe its because I always hated the "dumb unfunny comical relief" characters in shows, but honestly, I think Cora shouldve been left in the hospital as a fling and the vampire hunter arc shouldve been cut entirely. The Dev couldve made Lizzy the vampire protige, like make her go with the witch like in the original and then when she returns, have the witch announce that they discovered some hidden vampire potential instead in her and then make her general story about her releasing that being a vampire is not what she really wanted or something like that. Heck, I wouldve been more happy with her ending, if she was rescued by Clara like it was CLEARLY originally intended. I really hated how the characters were fine with it as well, like??? I think the VN wouldve been a LOT better, if he wrote better drama into it, instead of avoiding drama. Why the MC isnt reacting that much when he breaks up with some of them, why are the girls reacting very little when he breaks up with them? Make the girls actually care about things more... Also, how come the vampire ending wasnt a harem one??? The potential was there.
But as usual, Daniels K VN's are rough around the edge's, with holes in them. But I cant deny I still like them. Writing lessons would do him a solid.
