I'm barely at the start of this one by I can totally tell this is another great success by iMel and qureate. Like previous titles they've put out, these VNs have top notch soul, writing quality and VO quality put into them, I can already feel the build up beginning even though I'm just over the first like 40 minutes. Also, like previous titles, the characters have good animations that bring them to life and this is hugely important, imho, comparing to the multitude of other VNs that are mostly static. The animations together with the VOs makes it feel much more life-like and engaging. The overall story, of course, is in line with what I've seen before: it relies on the tropes that have existed for decades (let's be honest) in anime, but with these team's games' they are done right - exploring the different aspects of the settings and characters. Even after just like 45 minutes I'm hooked. The writing is way above average and the pacing very good. You are a salaryman working in the idol business, charged with finding, in the street, the next big idol. Pretty tough job, right? Well, you find like a pretty much dream girl, but upon close inspection reality is more complicated. Sti…

Overall it is a decent game, maybe a 65 out of 100. I liked the game mainly because of the two leads progressing relationship and interactions, but often the gamplay is just boring. And I've played "fun" and "interesting" visual novels before with the standard click through dialogue. A lot of my gripes about it is just that for me it's not very engrossing as a story. Also a little too cliche. That along with the limited variation in the art. Mainly the backgrounds, will not change until the next scene/chapter. If the other characters had a face as well it would help. Still I liked the premise and the main characters themselves. It gets through a good amount of idol stuff for a short story. I played with the r18+ patch, and it was definitely worth it, even if the h-scenes sometimes seem random. Both of the good endings were great, the bad ending sucks as you would expect. Also, having the character you play as quote manga as a quirk, did not work too well. Especially when you get the references lmao.

Story quality is pretty much the same as any other Qureate "days" visual novels out there. I must say, the Live2D here is surprisingly bad compared to the previous games. The FemC's mouth opens wide whenever she speaks but her speaking tone doesn't align with it except when she acts all delinquent. Giving it a positive review but this is pretty much mid status for me.
