Having said that my favourite girls aren't even LI's: Maja, Ayua (I think she's central to the story, but not an LI, unless Ocean changes his mind), Robin, Layla, mysterious redhead, goth girl.
While I like your posts...that sentence is just utter rubbish. Ocean is not a professional writer, I don't think a single VN dev is. So comparing his writing to a professionals is...well...do I really need to say it? Deactivating your account? Get a grip Fortuna and stop being so dramatic. Like those people who say they are going to quit their jobs lol...they never do.
Do it or don't, but don't wax lyrical about it. Look forward to reading your review.
I never said he was. The "professional writer" comment was so everyone else would know I know what I'm talking about. It's not just another fan rant. It's me breaking down what he did and how he could improve, especially since he's not the only developer who doesn't speak English primarily. "Get a grip Fortuna." Excuse me? Lol, I'll do what I want on this public forum. I'm generally not here, but what little I've seen of your posts I liked. So, in good faith, I'll say this. If anyone needs to get a grip, it's you. Cheers, luvღ
- 'aka I'm a token LI because I'm not Nami or Bella'
- 'aka I'm a token LI because there's not enough content for a glass half full'
- 'aka I'm a token LI because the game needs options'

Don't worry, we'll have to wait and see if Ocean changes his mind. After all, Ocean is a man who sticks to his ideas and never changes them. No sir he is not known for reworking his ideas until they meet his standards..
Because Ocean maybe has another plan for her. For example, I highly doubt Katie will be lewdable in SG, because she's lewdable in WiaB: her story's been told. It might be that Ocean has Ayua for canon purposes and doesn't want to mess up the canon if people cry about 'why can't I x or y or z with Ayua?' That already happens, imagine how much more it would if she was central to the overall plot at some point.
Or Ocean plans on having her unattached at the end of SG for further purposes. But then he sounded like he might change his mind, so there's a slim chance. Or, she might just be lewdable and only wants flings. Ocean's written the characters personality, for example Maja's loyalty to VIs is part of her decision making, so she won't choose her own happiness with Nika over Vic's happiness with Nika. Most likely we'll get some sort of lewd scene with her after BDSM reveal, but we won't end up with her, and she'll probably regret it if Vic finds out. I imagine something similar with Ayua, maybe she knows Katie's plans for Nika and Nami? It certainly seems that way when she cuts Sasha off about the earring.

Hey guys! So, I just got around to downloading the latest release. For those who care, I’ll be posting a review of Season 1 either tonight or tomorrow night. Since this may be my last review, it will be brutal. I'm not sugarcoating anything this time. I was kind in my last reviews, but since this game is supposed to be one where the story comes first, all its storytelling elements will be criticized. Despite what many of you may think, this game has many issues. And since it may be my last post (I may deactivate this account), I'm pointing most of them out. I say most because I'm only on one path, so I won't see everything. I’ll see you guys either tonight or tomorrow nightღ
P.S: If you're wondering why you should care about what some random user says... I write professionally. It's not my main profession by any means, but I've been publishing books/novels since high school. KK, I'll see you guys laterღ
Oh we'll find out 100% I am sure. Too many characters notice the earring, talk about the earring... we have Vanessa ask about it, saying it's familiar, we have Katie showing an interesting in Nami (if you consider that Nika only came to the bookclub in the last moment), we have Sasha wearing one and starting to ask Nami, we have goth girl appearing to look at it twice...
I'd be surprised if we don't find out the story of the earrings. It is more fleshed out as a plot device and with more dialogue than half the LI's

Okay, guys, this may be my final review of this game. After the chaotic beta release, which resulted in Ocean's leaving, I decided to stick around for one more release before leaving this website altogether. Even before Ocean left, many of my friends were leaving, so it was really only a matter of time. While I won't delete my account, it will remain completely inactive after this review. Thanks to everyone who made my experience here a lovely one. Now, for the review. Some of you definitely won't like it because it's brutal. It's also super long, so I'll put each main point behind a spoiler.
And that's where my expertise ends, lol. If you're still interested in reading this, you can skip to the bottom unless you really want to see my thoughts on the art this season.
As for Ayua, there are some obvious hints, such as she is an Asian girl with the last name Zane, she runs a martial arts studio like Miru, the girlfriend of the WiAB MC, she can't hold her liquor just like Miru and according to her words she got this from her mom.
But like many other hints from Ocean, such as winged earrings or snake bracelets, all this can be interpreted in different ways, and he has long warned that he is a pervert and tries to confuse players. And that many scenes from early chapters may take on unexpected or even opposite meanings as more information is revealed in later chapters.

So I've done one, but, I had to do the quadrant differently - evil is always the left hand path in literature/esoterics after all (sinister), good is the right hand path, and lawful is always taking the high ground, while chaos is base level entropy. So my apologies that it's not the same co-ordinates, but it's an important distinction to me.

Completely fair. I won't comment on specifics about what you've written as you're leaving and you aren't after a dialogue, but I've always valued your contributions to the discussion. I hope you find time for all the things in your life!

loved reading that as someone that only understands English but fails to tell the difference between good and bad writing I enjoyed this review. The only thing I personally disagree with but this is more personal preference. I always loved the usage of words like wormy and bibi even if it might be overused. As to me it makes them feel more like siblings that has certain words only they would understand. But im no writer so probably a bad thing using it to much and liek I said just personal preference that I like it even if it's over used. Again thanks for the review I did enjoy the read.
sorry Fortuna, but even I as a non-English speaker know that this sentence is nonsense.
Please define from your perspective, who in this world speaks ENGLISH without slang? Rethink your answer because you will get 1000 conflicting answers. Because you're overlooking one thing: like in ALL LANGUAGES, there are regional differences!!!

I have to agree with you in 100, 200, 500 or whatever %, Fortuna ღ's review is a constructive criticism, and a good one. In contrast to those who whine endlessly, and can only sweat out everything is wrong, everything is rubbish, everything is shit.
Like me, there are many people in this thread, who like/love Summer's Gone for what it is, but at the same time they also see its flaws.
