My Personal Angel

About

My Personal Angel is a black and white visual novel about the complexities of relations between people. It often rains in our city, and sometimes it's difficult to differ the day from the night. Almost always the sky covered in dark gray clouds. Maybe because the city itself is a port, and the endless splashing of the raging sea.

The story of "My Personal Angel" follows Vladimir, a dock worker grappling with his stagnant life and the arrival of a life-changing event, but it suffers from poor writing, a lack of engaging character development, and a frustratingly slow pace due to long load times and non-skippable dialogue. While the themes of depression and struggle are present, the execution is marred by verbosity and a subpar translation, leading to an overall experience that feels more like a cash grab than a compelling narrative. Despite its interesting premise, the story ultimately fails to deliver a satisfying or immersive experience, especially for those seeking a polished visual novel.
- “The story shows a 'slice of life' of Vlad, and his frustration at being working class and not having opportunities for advancement.”
- “The whole plot revolves around depression and gloom, with the usual story-changing event (in this case, a plane full of money crashing near the port in which the characters are working and struggling through their lives).”
- “It's a good story overall, if you like visual novels dealing with depressing and sad themes; it's clearly translated from Russian but it's a nice work in the end and well, it's definitely not a masterpiece (and it's not worth its price) but it's a nice title, not so easy to find among visual novels that usually treat themes like girls, love and romance with anime-like graphics.”
- “This visual novel offers an average plot presented with a below-average writing style and a poor translation, along with simple artwork at a high price tag.”
- “The author clearly has some talent for writing, but needs to focus on 'show, don't tell' - in this story, most things are told to you and very little is shown through the characters' experiences in the world.”
- “You can't skip the dialogue, even the already-read ones, so going through the whole story to get all the endings is a long pain in the ass.”

The graphics of this visual novel receive mixed reviews; while some users appreciate the unique black-and-white style that complements its dark themes, others criticize the artwork as generic and simplistic, especially in comparison to other titles in the genre. Overall, the visuals are seen as average, with some customization noted, but many feel they do not justify the game's high price tag.
- “Well, this visual novel has many choices, has many good points - it's entirely in black and white, which suits the depressive mood; graphics are great in my view, both characters and backgrounds, they're quite customized and I liked them a lot.”
- “It's a good story overall, if you like visual novels dealing with depressing and sad themes; it's clearly translated from Russian but it's a nice work in the end and well, it's definitely not a masterpiece (and it's not worth its price) but it's a nice title, not so easy to find among visual novels that usually treat themes like girls, love and romance with anime-like graphics.”
- “I'd recommend it to anyone who likes these themes in visual novels, being just aware of the price and the flaws - among them, the impossibility to view the artwork apart from when you're actually playing in them.”
- “This visual novel offers an average plot presented with below-average writing style and a poor translation, along with simple artwork at a high price tag.”
- “The way I initially mistook this novel's Anya for the previous novel's Sarah is an example of how generic the artwork is when reused.”
- “It's definitely not a masterpiece and it's not worth its price, but it's a nice title, not so easy to find among visual novels that usually treat themes like girls, love, and romance with anime-like graphics.”

Additionally, players have noted a lack of control over music and sound effects, which are always on at a fixed volume, detracting from the overall experience.
- “The creator even states that it is poorly translated and in the credits adds that the backgrounds and music are royalty-free crap from the internet.”
- “The music was unremarkable, and there is no soundtrack included or available as a DLC.”
- “There is no control for music and sound effects; they are always on at a preset volume you cannot control.”

The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized as a cash grab, with users noting poorly written content and intentionally prolonged load times designed to extend gameplay and encourage additional spending.
- “I like a story that's supposed to be depressing every now and again, but this was a poorly written cash grab with intentionally long load times for scene transitions and character fade-ins to increase the playtime.”

Players have reported issues with the save function not working as intended and the absence of a skip option that should be accessible after the first day, as outlined in a guide. These gameplay concerns have led to frustration among users.
- “I've read an awesome guide posted a year ago here on Steam about the save function, which doesn't work for me. Additionally, the skip option that should appear in my gameplay hasn't shown up, even though the guide says it should by right-clicking after the first day.”
- “The gameplay feels repetitive and lacks variety, making it hard to stay engaged for long periods.”
- “I encountered numerous bugs that disrupted the gameplay experience, making it frustrating to progress.”
