[SHORT REVIEW]
The Author is a really confusing AVN. Is this supposed to be an AVN? Because to me, it looks like a standard depressed looking novel made by a young adult who just experiencing adult life. This VN also has too many pep talks, too many “hangout together with friends” scenes, too many “reflection about ourselves” talk, too many unnecessary drama, etc. I came here to be entertained, not because I needed a psychiatrist or motivational speech. The most important thing that I find it lacking is that this VN doesn’t have enough romance/dating moments for each girl. For example, everytime I want to spend my day with Aoife alone, out friends always trying to tag along with us. This happen so many times and it’s really frustrating. I remember after playing arcades with the gals and I wanted to spend my time in bed with Aoife, suddenly the whole thing shifted into taking care of Kimmy for two months. I hate getting interrupted like this, I know that they have their own problems but I hate to be their guardian angel for 24/7. The MC himself also kinda broken, because he tried to jump from the bridge and failed, and it costs a girl to lose her visions. Playing under his perspective is hard because I do really feel bad with Dru. His little fight with Christine is a little bit weird and unnecessary either like two kids fighting for an XBOX controller.
I swear to god, this VN makes me scratching my head more than usual. I never go harem mode with this kind of “AVN” and yet, it’s still giving me that vague feeling. Is it a harem? No. Is it a “each women have their own path” kind of VN? Also no. I might replay this game later to see if everything happened because I was missed something during choices or this is literally how the game's supposed to be (just replayed some of the paths, and yes it turns out this is how the game supposed to look like) . The Author is not supposed to be an AVN or a general VN in my opinion, it should've been written as a light novel book or a Wattpad novel.
Two stars, very disappointing.
