finished book 4, well.. played until game kick me out with "no more content" prompt, whole run on love route
gonna say, even considering book 1 being on a weaker side - book 4 was the worst, sure writing and characters still on point, but game's pacing and overall gameplay is completely off - if before you needed to check every location and npc just to make sure you not missed anything and it was more or less up to you, now you HAVE to do it, sometimes multiple times over, just to progress, prison sequence at the end was just a pinnacle of this location grind, at least book 1 had some semblance of gameplay in it, now it's just "click every location ten times over till game decide you can move a bit forward to start clicking again"
and those new mini games not helping either - looking for attack/defend window while having to look where you even need to click? who even come out with that genius idea? is it for playing on phones? cuz on 1440p it suck, hard, unless there are hotkeys i'm missing, playing it with just a mouse is not fun... memory game not much better, but at least it short enough
not sure how things are different on slave path, will go for a new run now, but if i ever gonna replay love route again - book 4 will get a complete skip
