Why is everyone riding this novel's dісk? It's complete trash. The fxcking worst novel that could ever possibly be conceived. This novel was clearly devised in an unusual manner, specifically by getting thoroughly prepared before its creation using a ton of drugs, because in a normal state of mind you couldn't write such bullshіt. How I pity all the readers of this cheap piece of shіt, I hope the developer of this novel attends some literature courses or at least reads a book, taking an example from something normal. What's even the point of such novels when there are normal electronic or book versions available?

this VN made me realize i don't relate to this kind of despair as much as i used to, which feels weird as hell, but now i'm invested in whatever doomed romance the sequel is concocting.

Very nice story and very nice introduction to the other game. You can relate yourself both of the characters and the game touches very important topics such as peer bullying and depression very realistic. The game has a strong side for awareness too.

A solid kinetic VN that goes to some fairly dark places, but they're all very realistic, showing that the writer understands adolescence and doesn't give over to obvious stereotypes or campiness. The characters feel real and their thoughts and conclusions feel authentic, even unfortunately so at times. Really well done.
