As I mentioned, I just started going through VN's, I saw discussion of Headmaster in the comments here are started messing around with that today. It has promise, but I still think I like Stormside better at this point. The other 2 to round out my top 3 have been Lunars Chosen, and Red Sakura Mansion1&2(yes I lumped them together), they're a bit different however, and I'm not sure if that helps, but take all the flattery you'd like.
Per the overlapping issue, yes, it was her face being cut out and layered, sounds like you know about it already.
Thanks again, looking forward to seeing where the story goes!
