While it is painfully obvious that Lessons in Love and Dissonance are an "inspiration", as in most of the character interactions and stylistic devices are a little too similiar to not feel intentional and rather clumsy. Due to the very strong similarities it mostly feels kind of like an empty and meaningless collection of references to these games, but i that obviously applies only if the reader has also read the other two beforehand.
Near the end of chapter 1 it gets way better and more original. I really hope the originality keeps up in future updates and it doesn't revert back to being a LiL/Dissonance clone.
The pace of the character progressions is a very nice mix, with some being slower and others being more turbulent, which makes a pleasant experience.
I really love the UX tho, it is by far the best out of every VN i've read on here so far. I really wish some other VNs would take "inspiration" from the way your menus navigate and you can crossreference pretty much everything with one click.
I'm really looking forward to where this is going.
