I love how much effort goes into this VN to be interesting, yet something most everyone can enjoy.
The 'neutral route' (I would much rather call this the route-less version), also had a funny effect me. It showed me much more than ever that I was here more for the romance than anything else. It was much harder for me to follow the events in the route-less version, not only because of the fact that I already saw them, but also because there was no romance. But, this feels more like a me thing rather than a sign that the writing is flat without the romance, I just needed to point this out.
The effort is greatly appreciated tho, I love how the route-less version tackles everything. I hope Stormsinger Studios doesn't abandon this because it provides an interesting way of looking at the events of the game, and to a degree, it helped with the characterization of the cast.
Lastly, I noticed a huge mistake in route-less version, I think there needs to be a massive dialogue change there:
