'Shedding' is a cute contemporary slice-of-life episode where cute deer goes on a trip to the mall with some friends. It's also a nice little view into the head of a character who's decided to transition, and the windfall of all the new possibilities and social dynamics that come with it. The characters are all fun to read about, and it's just a pleasant conversational atmosphere that this story brings forth. There's a little bit of drama and conflict that comes from usual friend bickering, but it all works out in the end. The shift between visual novel character text boxes and the paragraph boxes was an interesting touch, though it feels like they were used only cause there was a lot of setting information that needed to be given. It might be more beneficial to use those deliberately, maybe for flashback moments or moments of the main character going through a internal monologue. The story also does front load with a lot of backstory and set up, maybe also consider jumping right into the character interactions and conversation, and using that as a way to convey the main character's backstory. Overall, it does a good job at what it sets out to do.
