So, yesterday I wrote a scathing review. Not because of the writing or anything the Dev itself did wrong, per se. The AVN is a work of art and done so well. Instead, it was because of how Lym (one of the LIs) had been treated up to the point I had played. I've not played much more since (mostly because of work) but I have had plenty of time to think and most importantly fume. It's dawned on me that nearly a day later and I am still so very angry over this and I realized, that is DAMN good writing. That I am so invested in the story (and particularly this LI) that a day later I am still angry as to how things are and trying to puzzle the way forward that won't end in complete ruin or come off as cheap. Honestly, it kind of ruined my day and made work very difficult. But, to me that is AMAZING. Very little media really affects me, especially fictional characters. I might enjoy something and some have even gotten me to cry, but very few stick with me and affect the rest of my day. So I'm changing my rating from a 3 to a 5. Hats off to you Dev and where as I said I probably won't revisit this one before. I think I will now. It might make me angry, it might hurt and upset me. It will probably make me cry. But to me, that is the beautiful magic of good writing. Though, I hope, I sincerely hope this AVN will also bring me moments of happiness.
Edit: Finally caught up to the most recent update released so far, and yeah. I'm satisfied. This AVN is easily a 5/5 so far.
