VN - Others - Completed - The Fruit of Grisaia - Unrated Edition [Front Wing]

A very good character focused vn with an amazing set of heroines and a very fleshed out mc.

I think this game really sets itself apart from other games with how the mc arguably outshines the heroines and his tough, "tsundere," sort of personality makes for great character interactions both in the common routes and the story routes.

Regarding the common route, it follows a bunch of "slice of life," sorta unrelated stories that are there to showcase the different heroines and build up their personalities/ grow their relationship with the mc (Yuuji).

The common route is pretty long and that's the only real reason I wouldn't recommend this game to someone if that's not their thing.

However the game really starts picking up and changes completly when u dive into the character routes. It turns into an action/ emotional journey that will leave you on the edge of your seat.

Regarding the h scenes, I would say don't play this game if you are only going for the h scenes as you would need to play like 20+ hours before you get any. They are however very good and while I do feel like Amane got way too many compared to the other characters, it was fine. The h scenes are quite vanilla in nature, not that that's a bad thing for me.

So overall I would really recommend this game because of how unique the mc is and alongside that it has a great story and cast of heroines. Only downside would be the extremly long common route but that helps build up the characters and show their different interactions to each other.

A good visual novel with something for everyone.
You can pick and chose, and follow a path that suits your needs. Good emotional stories no matter what path you take.
You actually feel connected to the characters and want to learn about them and help them.
A classic with decent art work.

Tough one for me, I normally dislike dysfunctional MC's and this one is dysfunctional to extreme. He might self diagnose as sarcastic realist but he is in fact a verbally abusive pessimistic bully that highlighted from very first scene. To top it off even though raised with strong influential women he is extremely sexist categorising women into offensive groups and treats terribly. To top it off he is bigoted and thinks racism is ok and solved by segregation. Having said that he and all the characters are meant to be broken and it fits story.

A lot of people dislike the slow pace at start but all those short almost skit like scenes actually not only reveal all the characters and MC but show slow evolution of all the relationships and their mindsets.

Its definitely a VN for the story so if after fap material might try a shorter game.

I like the art, its a little quirky at time and profiles look a little odd but it gave it a unique feel.

Finally some good fucking waifus. The character and their interactions are funny and good. The story is a little slow but it does have good twisters and mysteries. The sex scenes are quite vannila and the dialogue is good and goofy. The artstyle itself is good and basic, if nothing else

Truly outstanding game, not the first to deal with character with mental illness and mental health but one of the best, it goes so many interesting direction both for the character and the story it's truly impressive.

All the routes/girls are great and interesting, also filled with a lots of different emotion, general production value are great, love the music, art, great sex scene but that's a vn that would be as good without the porn.

Recommended to any fan of story focused visual novel, an experience that has genuinely marked me !

Story 8/10
In this visual novel, the story will keep you entertained for hours to come. Not only it contains action but also comedy and drama, which makes this visual novel an interesting read.

Characters 10/10
Every characters has a different and unique personality and every main characters has its own brilliant and at the same time saddening back story.

Art 7/10
Many look cute, but everything else is average

Enjoyment - Very High
What are you doing ? Go play this right now !

Ok i try to review this game without spoilers.
First of all the game is well written, but some themes on the road are (a little) far fetched. And that in addition that some parts of this VN are a little stretched i only give 4/5

I have only played out the good endings, but there are bad once in each route too. Tbh one rout the good ending was a little dissapointing. Maybe i only think though cos it was my fav heroine.
The backround of the heroines itself is that what i call far fetched, because its in some cases somthing over the board i guess, but even with this storys and the long entrence without understanding the maining of anything, the story is well written and with a good humor and some sad parts in it. It took me a while to get attached to this VN, but after getting caught, i could stop reading it.

If your looking for a fast fap... your worng with this VN. If your looking for an entertaining story with humor plottwists and 5 different routes with a length over 10 hours per route your quite right. Take your time to dive in, cos the beginning unfolds slowly and is to some degree irritating.

Hope you can enjoy it as much as i have done it

By far my favorite VN. I am not a fan of VN's (traditional Asian ones, at least) but here the main character isn't another loser/rapist/doormat. I also like this story because despite the typical "harem start", the game doesn't actually end up being an harem (unless you play the final game in the series). There are some really suspension of disbelief stretching moments, and the one loli character is disturbing to anyone who isn't touched in the head especially the way her story/interactions are played with the main character -- but despite this, I adore this VN. It is by far the funniest one in the start I've ever read, and the saddest near the end. That said, if tragedy isn't your cup of tea, there is good endings available.
