Fantasy Tavern Sextet -Vol.1 New World Days-

I like it. I didn't like Dahlia's voice at first, but I have begun to really like it. Veronica's voice is great because it is done by Ryouko Tezuka. I knew immediately that I had heard Coconut's voice. All of the ladies have floral names: Lupine, Daisy, Plumeria, Dahlia and Veronica. A very nice touch. There are grammatical and orthographic errors galore. The writer has a comma fetish. He loves commas. I mean he REALLY loves commas. So much so that he uses them even when they are not necessary, no, especially when they are not necessary! Also, he often won't use a comma when the sentence actually requires one. The writer omits proper punctuation marks (especially question marks), that can throw the reader into confusion. The characters' facial expressions and voices don't always match what is written.

Story is short and funny. Lupine is very sweet, but strong at the same time. I really like that lacing pattern on the front of Lupine's maid uniform. they look like little chevrons. Daisy is not my type. She sounds too much like Azuki from Nekopara, who I also don't like so much. but I did kinda like her story where she's dealing with discrimination. Music is as good as in the other VN's by qureate/iMel. fast, fun and uplifting. Also you can switch between Japanese and English, so very good for language practice.

Fantasy Tavern Sextet -Vol.1 New World Days-, developed by iMel and qureate and published by qureate, is a lighthearted romantic visual novel that blends comedy, fantasy, and slice-of-life storytelling with the familiar charm of anime-style romance. It tells the story of a young man working as a chef at a maid café in Akihabara who is suddenly transported to another world. Finding himself lost and disoriented, he encounters Lupine, a kind and determined demi-human who runs a struggling tavern called The Stray Sheep. Taking refuge in this world and realizing that his cooking skills are still valuable here, the protagonist begins helping Lupine revive the tavern’s fortunes while gradually forming relationships with her and other colorful characters who pass through. The setup is simple but warmly executed, serving as the starting point for a trilogy that mixes humor, romance, and light fantasy with a modern visual novel structure. The tone of the story is consistently upbeat, alternating between light comedy and gentle emotional drama. Much of the game’s early chapters focus on the protagonist’s adjustment to his new surroundings and his growing friendship with Lupine and her tavern…

Constantly crashing (the process becomes unresponsive). So far this has happened when switching to fullscreen mode, when the UAC prompt appeared, and when resizing the game window. You also aren't able to alt-tab when the game is in fullscreen mode.

With this being only the first novel in a series of 3 I was amazed at how great the art, animations, and voice acting are. Even with how short this first part is, the story is well done and portrays the world with enough detail that I wasn't confused for the whole plot. The choices feel inconsequential due to this only being part one of the series, and I doubt the next 2 parts will have meaningful choices that do more than just unlock new CG's. Even being a super short read I think I would still recommend Fantasy Tavern Sextet, but I am a little torn as to whether it is better to wait for a sale, or to support all the hard work that went into the game, but overall it is still a good story to read through.

its really takes an effort to play this insanely boring novel
