Been a long time fan, just lurking around but the recent public chapter just had to make me post here.
I FREAKING LOVE IT!!!! The girls has so much chemistry with one another, more so than with the MC. Imagine juggling that many LI and they still play off one another. Most VNs don't even have LIs communicate with one another let alone knowing about each other's existence.
As for chapter 25, I really wanted to talk about it but here are my favorite moments in chronological order.
This might contain a few spoilers!!! You are warned!
- Kanehana missing Hime and being disoriented without her.
- Dice going full Aladdin, dev was sneaky there.
- Moustache Dice's "There is no Dice without MC" and Hikari wiping her tears in the corner.
- The girls communicating with one another when there's a crisis.
- Azami being introduced as a possible antagonistic character, not exactly an antagonist. And apparently she's the avatar!
- The side characters are so freaking on point, interesting and some are downright lovable, all of them are gray-area characters, most supporting casts are black and white. Koma, the robot who doesn't even speak, Hatsumi, Akiro and Kyouko, . Love 'em!!!
- Intimate but not in a romantic way moment with Iroha and MC. After offscreen, and given a more understanding to her and MC's relationship, I'm struggling very much to rank her among my favorites. Ugh!!!!!
- MC getting pepper sprayed, that's actually a cute story to tell their child someday.
- Pink haired Sayumi and MC's chemistry is quite something. But for now I'm chalking to MC being easy to be with and her being a delight.
- Hime's aunt's support for Hime.
- Dice and MC's earnestness and sincerity during their respective speeches. Dice giving credit where credit is due to how he is, and MC remembering Hime's confession to him and dressing up as a cat maid.
- I like and dislike how Akemi is an outside counsel to MC, I like it because her wisdom and experiences shines more and it's given MC more freedom and perspective to express his thoughts. I dislike that she's disconnected with the harem, but given her stature, it's understandably so.
- The catmeal puns.
- The Blueberry Muffins along with Chitose's backstory. Touka-san is being built up for quite a bit, I'm expecting her to play a role later on.
- The music slideshow storytelling!
- MC being a great friend to Hime, makes it really hard for her to not fall for him . Then Hana camping in Hime's doorstep :(((
- The transition to the render depicting Hime's family was a dick move, Why do you have to hurt us like that? Divorce sucks, I like how Hime struggled to understand it, to process it, to deal with it. Her character is so well written .
- That stupid flash drive that we knew was coming back at some point, came back in a spectacular way and proved to Hime that MC really did love her. When was this started to build up? Ch14? Love the payoff!
- Hime in an idol outfit is something I didn't know I needed to see.
- While I dislike Takato, his clutch assist was so unexpected and very welcome.
- Future Hime and Hime coming back, beautiful. That conclusion to Book 2.
- The twist at the end credits to jumpstart Book 3! Fekkkkk!!! I can't wait for it to go public.
This game is morally complex, with interesting ways to touch said subjects. I bet that's why it's so underrated, people want to fap this game made people feel, and think. Hope you get more support, Chapter 25 is utterly brilliant! This game needs to be talked about more and it upsets me that it's not.
