I finished this up last night, great VN do no know if I am doing a review of it but if you need a switch VN then this could do you justice.

Finished up Shiraishi today, did everything for clan up, and launched up the final route which is Yanagi's route which I assume will take me most of this week due to it being a lengthy route.

Finishing up this game before moving on to some other ganmes (like trails to zero) because I should finish a VN before jumping into a jrpg.

Been going off and on this, since it came out in June 2020, I have finished 2/5 routes (Enomoto, and Sasazuki) and am working on my third route which is Okazaki, and it is going well. I am on chapter 4 of his route and will report back when I am done.

I'm finally nearing the end of this one. Then I have the second one/fandisc on Switch to play after.

I played Enomoto's route first like a year ago. Then I played Sasazuka's earlier this year, and started Okazaki's. After like six months, I finished that one and also played through Shiraishi's in the past few days. That unlocked the final …

It's back to work on Monday, and I really haven't spent much time on books or games over this break, unfortunately. I feel like all I've done is clean the same things in the house and do endless laundry and dishes every day. But I did finish Nexomon, at least, and I'm hoping I'll get Yanagi's route done before Monday.

Finished Takeru's route last night.

I played Mineo's first several months ago and took a break with other games and such.

Definitely liked Takeru's more overall, as more answers were provided throughout. I felt like there was also a bit more involving Sakuragawa and Mukai, who are likeable and refreshing female side characters.

Next is Kei, then Kageyuki. Then the …

More of a 4.5, but it's only because I didn't really enjoy one character (personal preference that's it) I enjoyed pretty much everything else. Oddly, I knew right away who the "bad guy" was which was a bit disappointing, but it didn't really take anything away from it. I liked being a mostly competent police officer who was also sometimes …

I liked being a mostly competent police officer who was also sometimes a damsel in distress (it's okay to like both, guys!)
