Oh my god Bonet is so adorable.

This one was a fun time! As someone who enjoys baking quite a bit, I really like the importance placed on it within the plot, and the incorporation of recipes into it - the process of making breads and pastries really does feel just as magical as the literal magic within the work. It goes without saying, but the art here is absolutely fantastic - and both the incredibly emotive and cute sprites and the adorable CGs really help make the story's charming personality come forth.

I do think the writing of the story is a little off - the various spelling mistakes dotted across the story (lack of punctuation at the end of sentences, improper capitalization, and words which lack their final few letters for some reason) wound up taking me out of it quite a bit whenever I stumbled across them. 

I do think the story also has a slight tendency to spell out the characters' more complex emotions without properly setting them up earlier on - the moment that particularly stands out to me is the matter of the old letters and recipes that formed Bonet. Rosso seems to be entirely fine with tossing them away during the beginning portions of the story, until he suddenly isn't when it's time for the climax of the story to occur. I think a few more hints towards his conflicted stance on the matter could have gone a long way towards making that conflict feel less sudden - because while Rosso has been somewhat rude to Bonet before that in the story, it feels as though his outburst goes a step above just that.

That said, I do understand that reading the story in English is not the ideal way to experience it / just a translation - I imagine both of these issues might be less prevalent when reading it in its original form - and, regardless of them, I'd say this visual novel is certainly worth experiencing in spite of these issues due to just how charming and entertaining it is.

Glad to see many people like Bonet, hehe. I was worried he wouldn't really land, since he's not a conventionally attractive character, but i see his weird charm is working, so, yay!
I do see what you mean by Rosso's mood feeling a bit off during the story, and is one of those things that went over my head due the short ammount of time i had to create and develop the characters.

I'm really glad you had fun with the game, and thank you for understanding the translation issues (Fun fact, it's probabbly a bit off because i did it all by myself, and in a span of 2 to 3 days before the Jam ended, hehe.) and of course, the most important thing. Thank you very much for taking a bit of your time to read my story. <3
