Eh... Aside from the two princesses the other heroines are great but the story genuinely isn't, largely because even the other girl's routes revolve around the two of them way too much. The only satisfying route storywise is Vel(the little red head), the nurse's route is irrelevant to the main story but a nice character story too, but that's it for decent routes.
h-content wise, the game has really nice well made art, but even if you apply the mod, you'll get one short h-scene per heroine right before the epilogue(honestly they're oddly satisfying from a narrative perspective, not from an h one though), and it doesn't even register in the gallery, so you need to preserve your save to see a scene again.
Protag(Squire)
No matter what you name him he'll be called squire just name him such it'll make a lot of scenes less awkward to read, probably the only character I considered to have bad voice acting, it's fine at first but it gets way worse and never fits the non-humor moments since he only has two tones cheeky or in the heat of battle, sad/earnest/serious moments just really don't work, also he randomly goes from barely hearable and really loud constantly later on, just mute him in the options menu once you get to that point.
Your princess
An inept idiotic brat not fit to rule, she's portrayed as a well meaning person but her personality makes her a terrible very easily manipulate fool of a leader that doesn't know how to take advice properly from her subjects(takes everything to extremes, never considers nuance, and prioritizes her own ego above all else)(If she were just some rich girl she'd still be great but she's a ruler). In her good route she gets by thanks to "might, Vel's might, making right" and "ignorance through stupidity is bliss", story wise it's implied that she essentially turned herself into a puppet ruler who allied herself with the people that likely poisoned her father to death, that are directly responsible for the destruction of Vel's homeland as a child, and that are likely still scheming against hers.
Foreign princess
Malicious evil spy that gets her way no matter what unless you force her bad ending, the game bends over backwards to try to paint her as a good person and shift the blame from her onto others but especially on her own route just no. I genuinely find her bad end the most satisfying for her, great to see the logical conclusion unfold after she actively backstabs everyone in the most retarded self serving way possible. (It'd make sense that if her kingdom was destroyed after a losing war or only saved after being crippled the player's kingdom would still be fine since the enemy force would still be weakened enough to steam roll them, but actively helping her enemy win unscathed and giving them a better strategic position to attack her from is just, wow.... I suppose her thought process always was that the player's people are an inferior people culturally so nothing is lost by sacrificing them, unless something in their culture can be exploited to help her personally, never any actual consideration for the strategic implications, just that getting an alliance would help bolster her personal standing in her own kingdom and possibly outside of it.)
The red haired girl(Vel)
Lovely character with easily the only actually good route storywise, she manages to get the foreign princess to get over herself and her delusions of being righteous born from focusing on other's faults and ignoring her own. Both princesses are made to acknowledge that they're in the wrong for trying to brush off the destruction of Vel's homeland, a land your princess had a duty to protect/restore and the other a duty to atone for the destruction of since it's destruction was deliberately enabled by her country, in all likely hood directly ordered for, and it wouldn't be surprising if the "pirates" were their soldiers in disguise either.
The nurse
A very good likeable character with a nice eh... sub-route?, it's just your princess's route told from the perspective of what if I had instead spent time with the nurse not the princess. Literally no real impact on the main story, just a nice little background story where you help a girl out.
Your step-sister (save her route for last)
A nice likable character, her route just really sucks though, "THEY KILL OFF BESSY!!!", like the nurse route it's irrelevant to anything but unlike the nurse route no one is better off as a result of you having done this route Bessy dies a painful death due to poisoning, good end is dependent on the relationships you've built with every other character(hence save it for last) and Bessy doesn't reset on new game+, lastly storywise it's just your princess's route all over again except your family is much worse off both prior to the war(your farm is destroyed, animals murdered) and after(forever under scrutiny, that might end in your family dying) compared to every other route. it just sucks.
