This is one of the first visual novels I've played, and genuinely didn't like. At first, I thought I simply disliked it because I'm not into sports themes or because I didn't particularly adore the MCs personality (why were they telling themselves "this isn't a date..right?" after Dakota SPECIFICALLY asked them on a date girl get a grip) or because the sprite artstyle isn't my favorite (though the cgs are beautiful) however, I soon realised that isn't the case. I consume media to escape reality, but Dakota seems far too realistic. He's a man, affected by the patriarchy with sexist views, the way he keeps mentioning taming women paired with how "innocent" the MC is portrayed..urgh. It makes me highly uncomfortable and reminds me of why I'm convinced I might be a lesbian LMAO..it's all so eerie and off-putting..If that's what the author is going for, then it's genius. If not, I'm concerned for your type in men. Honestly, I'm tempted to read Taming of the Shrew simply to analyze Dakota's character further. I do love how he murders with his baseball bat tho lolol, and the cat and mouse chasing scene was so very immersive, i felt my pulse quicken.
