Gameplay is good, and character animations are very smooth and polished. I was really not digging the art direction and chara-design at first, but I got used to it, there are a few characters that I find pretty.
Other than that, the story and characters are just very uninteresting to me. I straight-up hate the fact that you're playing as this Divine being, you just can't develop a proper casual relationship with the other characters. I dropped the game because I believe I met all the characters, and with no story to keep me engaged I didn't feel the need to play more after around 18 chapters or something. (Also I decided to play in classic / hard and I guess that's just not for me haha)
It's funny because after playing Three Houses I wanted a story structure more like Awakening : going on an adventure, travelling the world and recruiting new characters on every chapter. But now I realize that the 3H structure makes for deeper bonds between you and the characters.

( Didn't know where to add this but felt the need to mention it : the black girl being called "Misutira" in japanese, really; and the desert kingdom being full of colored NPCs yet amongst the 7 recruitables characters in here, 5 are white. Put a little more effort into this please )
