EDIT:
Okay So I decided to give 0.2 a shot. This is by far better than the initial release and is much more intriguing than I had initially expected. I reserve my final thoughts for future releases, but this instantly has my calling this an easy 3.5/5. I really do hope the Dev has thought this title out and I'll continue to make edits in the future. I'll also keep my original statements up. Many of which I no longer agree with, but it should stay to show that I can have a bad take sometimes and any project can change my mind. Looking forward to future updates. BTW still think Kayla is ugly as fuck. lol.
ORIGINAL:
So far I'm not digging this new direction. After the terrible ending to Part 1 and the rocky start to Part 2 I think I'm out. I have no problem with aging up the characters. However, that could have been easily done by literally showing a black screen and stating "insert number years later." Nah, the part I have a problem with is the quite literally the out of nowhere conspiracy against the protagonist with no indication prior and the absurdity that follows within seconds of each other. Aside from that there's the fact that all the old good characters are gone or haven't appeared yet. The new "love" interest is ugly as sin and Sara, the person the title is literally named after, isn't even in the story (as of yet). The truth is seems more likely that the dev got scared about the demonetization taking place all over the place for loli characters and/or his country's laws now include him as a potential criminal so he had to wrap up the story as quickly as possible. But that would mean starting something new and leaving supporters hanging, wondering "now what" and the dev needed to string them along by giving them hope that the story was continuing instead of just starting something new.
This is all just speculation, so big grain of salt mind you. But I gave this 3/5 stars because of part 1 (prior to the end) which was actually pretty damn good. Part 2 ... well this seems more like a lesson in how to nose dive a VN as quickly as possible in my opinion. Part 2 gets a 1/5 stars from me at this point and I really have no desire finish this. But who knows, maybe I'll get proven wrong, and this will turn into a truly compelling story. I will give this another try in about 8-12 months to see where the story has gone. If it's better I'll gladly update my review to reflect that.
As of right now, if the dev wants to fix this they're gonna have to focus on the details. Explain who the antagonist is and why Sara wouldn't ask what the hell is going on and constantly be looking for the MC. The MC's story of survival needs to be a thing. That absolutely needs to be explained. How the hell did this guy survive what can only be described as complete bullsh*t. Finally, the dev needs to pretty up the main model ... a lot. If Sara isn't going to be in this for a while, reader need something to retain their interest and that ain't it.
All that aside, I sincerely hope for the dev's success and a gain in readership. Leave a review of the VN and let the dev know what you like and what you don't. Try to get some constructive feedback. And if you enjoyed this VN try to show the Dev any support you can.
