    Fantabulous

    (Review of Ch.1 Pa2)

    Writing is a bit terse, presumably because the author doesn't speak English natively. Regular scenes are average; characters you're speaking to sometimes look in random directions, and camera angles could be better. There are also some strange situations...

    The storyline in general is weak, it would seem that the writer decided on a plot and didn't mind cutting corners oversimplifying things to reach whatever goal in as less steps as possible. The net result is that sometimes you feel like you're reading your typical teen show rather than something that is supposed to be taken seriously because it's based on science. Oh well.

    The preferences aren't standard Ren'py. You can pick among three sizes for the font in the text box but they are all too small. All the characters' names are rendered with the same colour, again making reading innecessarily harder, and some thoughts from the MC are rendered as dialogue. If you make the text box semitransparent, reading is even harder because the text changes to a darker colour. Yes, really...

    Animations in the few sex scenes currently implemented are so jerky they're painful to watch. The first such scene is also extremely weird: the girlfriend gives the MC a handjob, he cums on her face, then she magically dresses again but doesn't clean up her face, and promptly kisses him, and THEN the cum is gone. o_O Honestly, if you came here for the porn you're in for a disappointment.

    See you in chapter 2, maybe...
