Okay here is my review on the first Chapter and its going to be a bit long.
I was dying from laughing and had tears in my eyes. Somehow you made it even funnier than the demo. The best part is when they sit by the basketball game and Joshua catches the ball.
You showed all 3 datable Chars in a good pace plus I like all theirs personalities. But Richard is the best.
You wrote the part with Joshua's dad really good, because i was so angry at him and wanted to punch this ***** in the face >:). Also the moment Joshua fights the boys to protect Ethan was kinda frightening.
Its interesting to see a new culture. I know nothing about the Philippines, but your small explaining card where you show us the food helps to visualize whats going on.
I really enjoyed Chapter 1 and cannot wait for Chapter 2. Btw im sorry for your Laptop. Im broke too so i can understand it well. But i swear if possible make a patreon. A 1$ Sub is nothing for most people and when you get small updates or small "spoilers" with it, people who like your VN will sub.
