The story in "Senzuripoint: Paccoman" is intriguing but criticized for its rushed pacing, particularly in the after story, which limits character development despite the interesting premise of a parallel universe. In contrast, "Nukitashi 2" offers a blend of humor and character depth, with engaging routes, though some characters feel underdeveloped. Overall, both games feature enjoyable narratives, but pacing and character exploration vary significantly.
“The story goes in a completely different direction pretty quickly, and a lot of shenanigans happen.”
“The game's story (like NT1) is actually really good, and the characters are all really likable.”
“I would grade Nukitashi 2 a 9/10 because it had wholesome and unique storytelling themes, fun action whenever it showed up, but most importantly, it might actually be the funniest visual novel I've read to date.”
“The after story is too short.”
“During the main story, you get to know her better, but it feels kind of rushed.”
“Rei already had her backstory in the original, so there's only so much they could do with her in the sequel.”

The humor in the game is widely praised for its clever wordplay and outrageous situations, particularly through the character Misaki, who stands out as a comedic highlight. Reviewers appreciate the over-the-top jokes and memorable moments that enhance the slice-of-life elements, making it even funnier than its predecessor. Overall, the blend of humor and character development contributes significantly to the game's appeal, ensuring players are entertained throughout.
“I loved what the first game did by creating a dystopia (some would argue utopia) of a setting, and having the main characters deal with it in incredibly hilarious ways.”
“Since there's a lot more slice of life, they just focus more on the jokes and they are even more over the top with more specific unique memorable moments than even the original which I already thought was really funny.”
“Especially Misaki, who might now be the funniest character in visual novels for me; almost any time she was on screen I was guaranteed to be dying laughing.”
