I liked the early part of the story and will keep the 5 star rating because I really like MC and Maria and their relationship. The story kinda starts to go downhill for me though as soon as they get to Southland - I don't like the AIs, or the other girls. I didn't really like Emilia, but am ok with her as "wife's best friend" who I have very little to do with - wish she wasn't around as much as she is but whatever. I really didn't like the other Southland girls. I got excited when they were talking about teaming up and I got a dialogue box because I thought I might have a chance to say "no" -- and again later, I thought I might be able to end it but the best I could do was "ambivelant" both times. I think I would have preferred not only the "Maria only" path but a MC and Maria only game.
