I am going to ruin the perfect 5 star rating on here but for a good reason that the other reviewers failed to mention but I think its important. I have nothing to add on the story or the art other reviewers covered that really well but I do have something to say about the romanceable characters.
I think they are all good characters the main cast but as romanceable characters not so much. Lea should just straight up be removed as a romance option if they were going to put this little effort into her. Doesn't help she is the least attractive character of the main cast either. Hopefully in the next game they can switch her for a Sindian as it was a crime that there were so many good looking NPCs that can't be romanced. Or maybe the Elven queen if they can do it with Virion I don't see why they can't with her especially as her and the MC will be forced to connect to one another because of their children.
Also Marianne needed way more romance scenes and so did Agrie (Big blue dude can't spell his name to save my life). Those 3 characters got shafted really badly compared to the amount of romantic scenes the other 4 got. Lea was by far the worst though and considering her character arc is over and she is clearly the least popular love interest with backers they should just scrap her. But the other 4 got a lot more focus than those 3. I know fans/backers have their favorites but the dev/writer really needs to balance them better.
While this is a visual novel and a well written one with great art. It is also romance story so it needs to balance the love interests better. So while I did enjoy the game a lot I can only give it 4/5 . So yuri/lesbian romance lovers I would approach this game with caution but Alwenn is a solid romance. I still liked Marianne but her lack of scenes and circumstances will put some people off her.
If you are here for a vanilla romantic Otome style game with great writing pick Raelan and Virion and stick with them and its an easy 5/5. The father daughter bonding scenes were really heart warming.
