story7 positive mentions
gameplay3 negative mentions
  • Engaging and heartwarming romance with likable, distinct heroines each having a unique storyline.
  • High-quality character art, detailed CGs, and excellent Japanese voice acting that bring characters to life.
  • Balanced blend of wholesome romance, humor, and adult content with a straightforward, easy-to-follow gameplay and story structure.
  • Heavily linear gameplay with limited player choices that have little impact on story progression.
  • Extensive reuse of backgrounds and music from the original game can feel unoriginal and cost-cutting.
  • Requires an external patch to access the adult content, and some players experience updating issues on certain platforms.

  • story

    29 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    24% positive mentions, 66% neutral mentions, 10% negative mentions

    The story offers four distinct, character-driven romance routes that focus on daily life and emotional growth, each with a unique narrative tone ranging from casual to deeply engaging. While choices are mostly minor and the structure is linear, the storytelling is praised for its warmth, charm, and thoughtful development, creating an immersive experience beyond typical visual novel romance tropes. Overall, the plot is enjoyable and well-crafted, encouraging players to explore all heroine routes.

    • “I went in expecting a simple visual novel with a half-baked story just to have something to give the characters a reason to get intimate, but I played it for 4 hours, got invested in the characters, chose one as my favorite, had plenty of wholesome moments that had my lame virgin ahh grinning before I ran into any explicit scene, and I loved every second of it.”
    • “So unlike other harem-style romantic visual novels where the protagonist meets and dates multiple girls before eventually choosing one, this title adopts a “restrictive” and uniquely narrative style, choosing one girl from the very beginning and exploring her unique story without ever having contact with the other three girls who were not chosen.”
    • “It offers a love story with four distinct storylines that really encourage you to play through and read them carefully, thanks to the entertaining plot of each one.”
    • “The route is mostly linear with minor branch choices that do not affect the main story.”
    • “If you are looking for a complex story with major choices, this is not the game for you.”
    • “After a short prologue, you choose one heroine, and the story moves straight into her route.”

  • humor

    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

Overall, the humor contributes positively without overshadowing the story's warmth and character development.

    • “The localizers did a great job, the game is hilarious :)”
    • “It borrows heavily from the original: a short common route followed by long heroine routes that mix goofy humor with wholesome romance.”
    • “Smee visual novels tend to excel at having a near perfect blend of wacky humor with wholesome romance.”

  • gameplay

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    14% positive mentions, 43% neutral mentions, 43% negative mentions

    The gameplay is very limited, primarily consisting of clicking through dialogue typical of a visual novel. While there are some decision-making elements, overall the mechanics are minimal and largely reused from the previous installment.

    • “Sequel in name, mechanics, and reused assets only.”
    • “Very limited gameplay.”

    • “First blush reuses over 90% of the backgrounds and soundtrack from Making Lovers.”
