Look at that! It's that time of the year that I get out of my hiding and actually review something!

Jokes aside, let's talk about Cleaved. Spoilers ahead, I guess.

I've seen some people talking about this being a good on the isekai trope, which is fair, not everyone likes isekai, I do but not the point, but it seems that this one is a good one and I, a random person on the internet that reads too much VNs, agrees.

Cleaved already had a good light for me by having Haps as the artist (Love his drawings and his character designs.) so when I saw that I really had to play it. And it was a pleasant surprise! The first build having at least a choice is a good sign for me, as I like having choices and different endings, which I assume this is going to have, and the two characters and the protagonist (not counting Calder because he appeared in the last 5 seconds) feels like real people.

I like the use of "new world language" which is lost in translation, because it's another place, VNs should use this more often.

For the first build... Is a bit short. Might be because I just got off Roads yet traveled and the first build of that thing was massive, but it wasn't bad. Short and sweet.

This is definitely going on my list of promising VNs, and I will keep a close look on the updates.

8/10

Ok, here's a long one. Also maybe spoilers.

SO! I will be completely honest and say, my expectations were low. Not because of the art style or writing or anything, just because I went completely blind, not even reading the info about it.

And I gotta say, I'm utterly impressed. 

I played a lot of visual novels, going from magic stories to mundane life's, each with a magic to it that made it special.

This however, was such a fun and enjoyable experience that I HAD to post a comment.

Every single character has such a fun personality that makes them so unique yet I feel like I'm seeing an average group of friends (which I find super good, as it makes puting yourself in the shoes of any of them possible).

The references, the dialogue, the characters sprites, I can only describe as fun. Even the scribbles was such a fun and enjoyable character.

It had been a looooong time since I stubbled into such a good experience. 

I'm glad that I discovered this early as now I can grow with the community. It may not mean much for the creators, but this Visual novel will definitely be on my watch list for updates.

And maybe thinking of supporting this VN.

*Slaps roof of the Visual novel* 

10/10 great stuff right here.

Definitely gonna check out!

Ohh, didn't know! Thank you!

Wait really??? Omg I've been waiting for so long;-;

Just putting out here if someone didn't see Kael's notice, for personal reasons the update will be out tomorrow instead of today.

As long as he's fine, I don't really mind the delays.
