DEV i am back after a long time, i played the game again and yeah i also thought that it felt rushed but i think you did a pretty good job! throughout the game there were some elements which were noticeable and some facts! keep up the good work!
My Man Kendo, he is really a warrior which could only be brought down using drugs!!! (well this was kendo route so obviously it felt rushed bcz it was a downfall route but the dev really proved that why kendo is a literal gigachad, feeling sad for my king

in that route, and i really thought that kendo would win over shizuka(he almost did but his body couldn't keep up due to drugs) and destroy Arato but the literal opposite happened Arato plan worked and Kendo lost....(well the true route is still left which we will see when kendo reach manliness 80)! Dev you really pulled off an uno reverse i mean when i saw that MC turned to Arato for help i knew it was either Old man's win or loss, i mean it almost seemed like shizuka will get stolen(in an instant) BUT we all saw how that turned out)
i also like how they completely show that mary mind is now destroyed!(well with the help of little bit of drugs) the moment kendo left she lost all sense of idk civic sense? and she became a doll and she just accepted and became a slut after getting abandoned by kendo!(atleast she believes she got abandoned by kendo and hence losing her sanity it was wonderfully shown and explained that kendo is the only one she has but the moment kendo "abandon" her she just turn to dark side to cope up with the pain) , P.S just to justify kendo, bcz of drugs he could no longer "get it up" in the bad route and it was the only thing he had(yeah my man is just manly otherwise he is dumb, simply dumb), and he knew that mary deserve better(Kendo Cares for every girl he sleeps with, that's what manliness is about and he cares even more for mary!) and that why he broke up with her!
and yeah even after all the back to back W for arato i still don't like his character one bit, i mean yeah the action and dirty talk is good but his character just shows me a child throwing tantrum and his only ability is using drugs to get advantage(and he is too much obsessive, he gets obsessed for no fking reason like with shizuka, mary and even kendo).(no hate to Arato route fans!)
Edit:- before arato fans bomb me with hate, i would like to justify that i hate arato for using drugs nothing else, i am pretty sure in arato route he dosen't need any drugs, i just think drugs is a cheap move thats all.
