The LP inspired me to play this before it dropped off the face of the earth entirely, and in my experience the hardest route is the one you wouldn't even think is that hard. Goddamned Naoko! I even had a cycle I was focusing on her turn into a Kiku route at the last second, simply because I had enough Lit for Kiku to like me more than Naoko. Even though I'd gone on zero Kiku dates. I think that's what makes Naoko hard - she doesn't have any stats she likes, as far as I can tell. Everyone else seems to have a lot of affection boosts just from having high stats. Naoko just has going on dates with her and making sure Kazuki likes you. She also doesn't seem to get as many events as the other characters, for whatever reason. On the non-spoiler side, my mouse hates for all the clicking I had to do. I like what the game was trying to do, but dear god did it need a more competent devteam. Or at least one that could program a skip button into their game focused around a repeating cycle. Pine Bamboo Plum posted:Can't we just skip Aya? I don't know how that girl can have friends when she's so consistently terrible to them. That science lab scene was the first in a long time with her that didn't have her putting someone down.

From my own run, Naoko actually seems to like the beeswax most. Not that it matters a whole hell of a lot on a Suzu run. Also, you get an astonishing amount of leeway with your grades, as this set of grades from my final run shows. I didn't get a talking-to by Satsuko until that second all-B exam, and still got away with another one afterwards. Keeping Fashion and Popularity as dump stats makes it really, really hard to do poorly enough to get sent back.

No, we need the full experience. Goon-kun must learn that life is suffering.

Also most VNs let you skip until you come across new dialogue. Doing that would have let you see all the little differences without having to sit through the same Obon/Christmas party/etc 5 million times.

Also hoping for a Rena run, although apparently most people want to go Lit instead of Art for that.

Shira Oka has some good ideas that despreately needed an editing pass and a better set of game mechanics behind it all. e: I honestly don't mind seeing other characters when you're angling for someone else's route, since a lot of VNs act like everyone outside your route ceases to exist(or punishes you for interacting with them if they're available) once you pick one. But it doesn't jive very well with being expected to use up time for those events that you could be using for the all-important stat grind.

The saddest thing about this game is that it'd probably be okay if they added basic QOL stuff like "fast-forwarding through already-seen text"(especially in a game that's about repeating the same few years over and over) and had a few more editing passes on the script. They clearly tried to do a lot as best as they could, they just did too much for their team to handle.

It's also okay to do the occassional shorter-than-normal update if you know you need to get something out but aren't up to doing a full update. Some content is better than no content.quote:Cashmere being a rich people thing explains why I've never heard of it.

I've seen worse art than that in other VNs. The art here is just slightly wonky instead of anatomically impossible. It's still not great, but it's tolerable.
