Thanks for your feedback once more!

You're right: the side image of the protagonist shouldn't be there when he's grown up. I changed that for the next update.

Regarding the story's pacing: I'm sure that can be improved, but there's also the issue of different players: I had people saying my first VN was too slow while others said it were too fast. There are definitely different tastes there. – Same as with the length. I'm working on the pacing of my stories nevertheless. 

There's no big stakes in Dere Quartet, as it is a rather cozy story meant to give some relaxed time. It's different in The Last Secret and it will be different in Kieta Memory.

I meant Azuki, not Yuki. I haven’t read Sweet Science in a long time. I edited it to the correct name in my previous post.

For me, when I got to the end of Sweet Science, I remember wanting to cry tears of joy because I finally made it to the end. I was forcing myself to get through that VN.

The Dungeon and Dragons inspired segment in Sweet Science was fine, but I disliked how I had to sit through that scene either way, despite being given a choice to not want to play a game with the girls. That scene could technically be considered filler.

Yet, I actually liked the cozy vibes in this new VN. I still forced myself to read through it at times. I read through all routes in one sitting, and that took me 3 hours. 

That theme song was so catchy and good! That song was stuck in my head later on after I finished playing it but in a good way. 

The art was beautiful for both A.I. and hand-drawn backgrounds and sprites. The CGs were great too!

The only weird CG was the pink-haired girl running through the hall. Her face didn’t look quite right to me. 

And the CG where the protagonist and blonde-haired girl hold hands outside in the park didn’t look like a park to me. It looked like they were standing at the end of a mountain cliff overlooking the town, even though they were in an outdoors park within the town in the story. 

The VN was humorous to me and made me laugh, and I felt for the characters in the more emotional moments too. 

I noticed how everyone had the same floral and red stationary when the protagonist was given letters by them. It would have been interesting to see different kinds of letters and handwritings by them depending on the girl.  

And, somehow, the teacher is the hottest character in the game. I remember playing on another VN called Nelsim on itch where the protagonist goes to college and befriends different college-aged girls, but the mom ended up being the hottest character in the game. My friend could second that too! 😂

Not that it’s a requirement, but if you ever have future visual novels that take place in a school setting, the teacher could act like a mentor to the pupil to give the protagonist and the teacher some sort of relationship that is still appropriate yet endearing.

Just a thought. 😅

Yes, I autocorrected the name to Azuki when I read your post. ;)

I'm glad you liked the art and in particular the music. My favorite from Dere Quartet is the Yanko-chan ending song... but the opening also came out very well.

The idea with the stationary is nice. Next time maybe...

We haven't planed any more high school stories currently (besides a version of Sweet Science for female players that will be without romance), but I would consider your teacher idea.
