I'm not very far into the book, but these are my thoughts so far, I will update as I go on.

I feel that this is novel has a lot of time and effort and passion put into it, so I say with a heavy heart... This game is bad. The art is decent at best, inconsistent and off putting at worst, with (unlicensed?) inconsistent real-life photos as backgrounds. The writing is awful, not the plot, as I do enjoy the story overall. The grammar is iffy and the pacing -oh my god the pacing- is so incredibly fast that I often had no idea what was happening. The story didn't leave itself anytime to dwel on anything; it felt like I was being hurdled through the novel at light speed. The characters aren't well defined, and aren't complex at all, they're generic archetypes that are a dime-a-dozen in any story. At the start I had no context as to what was happening and why, I didn't even know I was in a shipwreck until I was told, because the start of the story is vague, not only this, why am I staying in moonstray? Why am I not trying to get home? Do I have people to call, people to go back to? I haven't told anyone where I am, am I on a missing person's list? Am I technically an illegal immigrant? Nothing is explained! No, apparently I have retrograde amnesia, but I had no clue!

Despite all of this, I do enjoy this book, and I enjoy the characters; everything above is a personal nitpick that I hope you don't take as an attack. I see the potential, there is an amazing story here and I believe you have to power to write it, but stars, you mixed the mark. Three stars.

This is my first time writing a visual novel so opinions like these are very important to me. I'll keep in mind as I write the new routes. And don't worry, I don't see this as an attack! Thank you for the honesty ! : )
