“It's a story about two individuals who support, inspire, and make one another better: a proper romance.”
“Dramatic moments, once they occur, have a lot of build-up and momentum and do not feel forced or shoehorned into the story.”
“The story fascinates me because it uses tropes to show us a more accurate depiction of the voice actress industry without meaning to.”
“However, her main issues just seem to get partially addressed in her story and then dropped.”
“The choices have no impact on the initial common route, which makes it feel very linear due to how after you've finished one route, if you want to do another you're basically just starting the game again and skipping all the way to their route start, without anything interesting to discover in the initial main story with maybe a winding path or two.”
“Honestly, the plot is slightly lackluster.”
