I'm real confused about this one. The art is fantastic, and the setting is good enough, but the writing is just really bad. Its as if someone just woke up one day, and decided they wanted to write a story. But this person had very little interaction with others, and had never really read a book all the way through. Sort of like a- "it sounded better in my head," -kind of idea. It's really cringy to read, and situations really don't line up well. Things just suddenly happen, like the main character is deranged and can't keep their thoughts together in the slightest, and your just stuck on an inner dialog train ride, that is lost in a world of unfamiliar social interactions. That or the author just started writing, and constantly kept changing their mind cuz they got bored of their last idea, but didn't decide to go back and rewrite or change anything. Almost as if the author is incredibly lazy. Might also explain the 0.06b to 1.0 release as well.
It really is off putting. You want to stick around cuz the arts great, but everything surrounding it hurts. This really needs a rewrite. Heck I've thought of several ways to write it, and keep the art in the same order so it actually contains substance and anticipation.
It gets the 3 stars cuz the arts great, and I like how you can change the names and associations of the characters. The writing is an atrocity though. I guess if you look at it like it's some awful MTL translation that has been tidied up to be a little more coherent, then you might think it's okay, cuz you'll naturally clear up all the mumblejumble and sudden changes in direction that occurs to something a bit more tangible.
Also: There is a boat load of copyrighted music from various movies and TV shows in this game, and it normally follows complete silence, as there is no actual ambient audio in the game, or slice of life music you often get in the background of VN's.
