Character development in the game is notably inconsistent, with some characters like Fumo experiencing slow growth and remaining stagnant for much of the story, while others, like Aina, have potential for meaningful development due to language barriers. However, Yuriko's storyline is criticized for presenting unlikable character growth, detracting from the overall experience.
“Aina doesn't know English, which gives her a perfect opportunity for character development.”
“Eventually, Fumo would prove to have slow character development, always shutting down the main character and just being really stubborn.”
“She goes through a bit of character development all the way up to the middle of the story, where she remains in personality stasis until the end of her route.”
“As I went to replay the game to find the secret route, I was unpleasantly surprised by the most unlikable character development in the entire game through Yuriko's storyline.”
