  • There are issues with localization, including typos and inconsistent language usage, which can detract from the overall immersion in the story.
  • story
    40 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of B-project Ryusei*Fantasia is a linear slice-of-life visual novel that centers on the protagonist's management of 14 idol trainees, exploring their personal and professional challenges. While the narrative begins slowly with flashbacks, it picks up pace and offers two distinct routes based on player choices, leading to different character experiences and epilogues. The game emphasizes character growth and interaction through text messages and phone calls, providing additional content for fans of the series.

    • “The story focuses on the 14 members’ trainee days and the challenges they faced on the road to success.”
    • “I really love the story and themes of this game, and I think if you're someone who likes to do a lot of retrospective and loves idols, you will enjoy this a lot.”
    • “Putting that aside, the amazing voice acting depth performance, the pacing and introduction of the story was very thorough, added with the live 2D animations in this visual novel really brings the characters to life!”
    • “It does mean that the actual story takes a couple of hours to start, since the beginning is front-loaded with flashbacks while the characters are reminiscing at a wrap party, but once that's over, the pacing becomes much more brisk.”
    • “There aren't dedicated routes for each of the idols (considering that there are 14 of them...), but nonetheless, there are two distinct routes that the game takes based on your choices in the first chapter, basically differing in which members of the larger group experience personal crises during the story.”
    • “The two routes diverge at the end of chapter 1 and have almost no shared content, even during events that happen during both, so if you've gotten one ending, then you've only seen about half of the main story content.”
  • music
    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in this game is highly praised for its outstanding quality, featuring catchy j-pop songs performed by a talented cast, complemented by effective and cheerful backing tracks. The fully voiced experience enhances the overall enjoyment, making it a standout aspect of this slice-of-life visual novel centered around idol management. Reviewers note the game's strong musical theory elements and the dedication to portraying the hard work behind producing a successful idol group.

    • “The voice actors are very talented, and the idol songs are also of a very high quality.”
    • “However, it is not an otome game, and a lot more like a slice of life visual novel (as it is a mainly linear story that concerns the main character's daily dealings with her company, staff, and the idols/music she manages).”
    • “As for the soundtrack, it is simple but effective; with really nice backing tracks that tend to be mellow and cheerful.”
    • “Since it’s a music-oriented visual novel, the soundtrack is obviously outstanding and the j-pop songs performed by the band are all stellar.”
  • emotional
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “This game is really heartwarming and sensitive, with a wonderfully rich cast and very nice music.”
    • “When playing through the daily working lives of Sumisora Tsubasa (the main character) and all 14 boys that make up B*Project, I feel deeply emotional and moved by how interesting and varied every character is in this visual novel.”
    • “There’s a lot of banter between them and plenty of funny and cheerful exchanges, topped with some heartwarming one-on-one dialogues.”
  • humor
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “There’s a lot of banter between them and plenty of funny and cheerful exchanges, topped with some heartwarming one-on-one dialogues.”
    • “I feel emotional scenes were translated pretty well and taken seriously when need be. Some of the jokes added in that weren't in the original are funny sometimes, and I appreciate trying to cater to a younger audience.”
