Oh don't worry. He and I know each other. He's definitely one to keep an eye on for new parts. And definitely good for inspiration too.

I do have an opinion, both good and bad (I mean, I have to. Been loving the art and loving the ideas. It's hard not to have opinions about something I'm enjoying seeing develop and made. Haha!)
The positives I noticed it, while it was frustrating to figure out a bit, it was also intriguing me to see the big wrestler showing expression as you go on. Like I'm already getting to know them without much interactions or dialogue. And I think the key point is that. The way you introduce the character to the point, frustration is gone. I'm going to keep exploring and seeing where this goes until I figure it out. I want to say it in full detail, but if I do, might ruin the experience if others learn about it without playing the game so... I think I rather say that detail in private to avoid anyone coming here getting spoiled.
The bad I have noticed is, people are used to wanting to succeed. And this isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's because they don't want to miss out details if something happens on the first try or any additional information that may be hidden based on record time or attempts among other things. But I honestly think the positives, at least in my opinion, overshadows the bad. This is really interesting and I wouldn't mind more puzzles like this. But there is one more bad thing too. And that would be we have the ability to go back in case we missed details instead of a log. Nothing is stopping from people failing, go back, try another one, and not accept getting something incorrect. And I'm honestly hoping people do not do so because, I kind of like how this was set up. If you get my drift.
Overall, I enjoyed the puzzle very much once I got the hint of what was going on and frustration was just gone. I was having fun with it and Emerson.
I am honestly fine with this. While I tend to focus on having fun and, I'mma be real with you, I struggle understanding political stuff on my own as I tend to need a friend or two to explain me perspective of such views, honestly it is your product. Build it as you see it fit. I love the main story of music in this game regardless. Can't wait to see more of your stuff!
This is a very good way to see things for sure. I'll admit, I've sometimes weighted the negatives over the positive every now and then, but it is always nice to also mention some of the good along with the bad. As long as it is justified and understanding of course. Can't be too unreasonable with some critiques, right?
But you have the right of it. We're only human. And it's easier to see the negatives than the good things for sure. Hell, I know I've got a few frustrating memories of critiques myself when someone criticized a character I was making. It's a part of it sometimes. What matters is what we do after said critique. Just like when a mistake happens. What matter is to not dwell over the mistake, and focus on what to do after.
I can't wait to see this project move on smoothly. I've only just started it recently and I'm loving the idea so far. Good luck on developing this VN!
