Very very meh, for me.
Absolutely gorgeous art, but dull character arcs and pretty uninspired romances overall.
The “main” story takes forever (something like 8 chapters!?) with nothing much happening at all, whilst the romantic routes often felt like boring info-dump slogs with uninteresting stakes and too much random melodrama. Many chapters had no reader choices at all, further deepening my lack of personal investment. Kotone never really develops as a protagonist, instead merely shifting into whatever nebulous ingenue the thin plot requires.
Surprisingly, I ended up enjoying Rindo’s route the best, thanks to its slightly more grounded story and natural romantic chemistry.
The translation was at times inexcusably poor. Beyond the usual typos, translations often felt awkward and word-for-word literal, which stuttered and jumbled the English grammar almost beyond readability.
So….. yeah. Not great. I was invested enough to finish all the routes, but that’s really about it. Beautiful, but disappointing.
