✦ AI summary

Players are deeply divided on this visual novel. Some praise it as a beautiful, masterpiece-quality story with outstanding visuals and diverse characters, while the majority criticize it for poor writing, inconsistent AI-generated art, an unfinished or uninteresting narrative, and annoying characters that make the experience feel like reading unpublished fan fiction rather than playing a game.

this is a masterpiece. it's rare to find such beautiful and deep games, and I highly recommend reading the text. The visuals are also outstanding, and I haven't encountered such diverse characters. 5 stars 10/10

boring game. art style is all over the place thanks to AI. the story is not interesting. the characters suck. i feel like the devs of this game have never served a day in their life. this game would've been way better with original art and more driven story.
