18 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story is engaging and features a cute, polished narrative with likable characters, though it tends to be repetitive, offering a common route regardless of the chosen romantic interest. While the art and voice acting are praised, some players found the English localization lacking, and the forced romantic interactions with both leads can lead to confusion. Overall, the game is enjoyable, reminiscent of Korean webtoons, but leaves some players wanting more depth in its branching storylines.
“The story reads as one main story where you end up interacting with both leads even if you focus on romancing only one of them.”
“I found the characters engaging and likable, the story was solid, the game itself was polished, and while the UI had some quirks, it wasn't anything that detracted from the experience.”
“The characters and story are interesting, and even though the endings are pretty short, I found them satisfying conclusions to the narrative.”
“While reading the story, I was really confused because even when you focused on only one love interest, you were still forced into romantic situations with the other love interest.”
“One thing I didn't really like, though, was the fact that the overall story is the same despite what route you pick; the only difference is the romantic endings.”
“Normally in dating sim/romance visual novels, they have a 'common route' and then branch off into a separate storyline that focuses on the character you're pursuing based on your choices, but in this game, it doesn't do that.”
