Hey there, brothers. I've had a bit of a rollercoaster ride after finishing the 0.13 version, before Norah's ending starts, but nevertheless the feeling will surely persist until the game is finished, unless something huge happens, which I don't think it will. Let me share my insight with y'all...
It's been quite some time since I've been thrilled with a VN like it happened with this one. Although not animated (which could have brought even more points to it), I did play with the thought "Wow, this guy earned his nickname, alright..." but then, when finished at the time, something ocurred to me.
The severe lack of depth in its story: it felt at first that the dev made everything alright, made me enjoy it, like the girls a lot, and then, around the time when I read that the MC had sex with Leanne multiple times after taking her V-card (very nice scene, by the way) it all started to fall apart.
I grew attached to her, and all the others, of course. But the feeling started to sink in: I did start to love it, but wasn't having any more depth with anybody, which is a terrible feeling, even worse than hating a character, IMHO.
I can only summarize it in this way:
"So close, but at the same time so far away..."
I just hope that the endings will help at least to mitigate this feeling. And, as a bush diver, I can't finish this without commenting on Norah's: that's just heavenly! All men of fine tastes should appreciate a good, big, thick bush! (It would be just lovely to see more of it, especially on my favorite redhead
)
No matter what, Leanne will always be in my heart, and all the others too. The aftertaste could have been so much better, but let's wait and see what the complete endings will bring to us...
On a personal note, I don't think I ever tried to write about such a deep feeling here. That's a first. And sorry about my english, it is not my native language, but I try...
