Thank you for the update, I absolutely love this game. This latest chapter is packed with content, the music is fantastic, and the visuals are amazing—Scarlet is simply incredible. However, I feel that this update lacks a bit in terms of excitement and surprise. Overall, it seems like the content design was a bit rushed. Here are my specific thoughts:
Although "Ripples" is a harem story, the time travel element adds a sense of technology and mystery to the game. So, I was hoping that traveling back to the past would bring more adventure and excitement. At the end of the last chapter, it was mentioned that Darci’s mom was captured, which I thought was a big deal. I expected a significant adventure when going back to the past, with danger and excitement running through the main plot of Chapter 7. Instead, I found the rescue process a bit too quick and felt somewhat rushed.
Additionally, the protagonist mainly develops relationships with the girls through dialogue in this chapter. It would be great if there were more adventurous interactions between the protagonist and the female characters to build their relationships. This would make the emotional development more moving and profound. Overall, I feel that the design of this update was a bit hasty. It would be better if there were more interesting stories with the girls after traveling back in time. Even though I know there will be very intimate scenes between the protagonist and Scarlet, I hope their development process is more engaging.
Some people think the game's development is slow and urge the author to hurry up, but I don't think so. I really like the author and "Ripples," and I hope to see better works from the author. I believe that a slower story development isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the plot buildup needs to be deep and interesting. I can accept fewer sex scenes for now if it means the emotional development will be richer and more appropriate later.
The conversation between the protagonist and April was fantastic—that's one of the surprises!
English isn’t my first language, so I used a translation tool to help with my words, which might sound a bit odd. I apologize for that. Once again, thank you for your hard work and dedication in creating such an excellent piece of work. Thanks!
