Melancholy Love

A good visual novel enjoyed it, a lot of twists and sad moments :'(. There are 3 endings would recommend to pick up the game on sale.

This is a very good yuri visual novel. It has the same high quality OST , character writing, and art of it's predecessor without the same pacing problems. It was also great seeing a couple of the characters from Symbiotic Love as adults. I hope the rest of this series gets a localization.

Melancholy Love is a reflective, emotionally grounded visual novel that chooses restraint over spectacle, focusing on the quiet evolution of a relationship shaped by insecurity, expectation, and unspoken feelings. Developed by White Dew Games and published by Kikai Digital, it situates itself within the yuri genre but distinguishes its approach through a slower, more introspective style of storytelling that prioritizes emotional authenticity over dramatic escalation. The narrative revolves around two students whose lives intersect within the structured environment of a private academy. One is composed, admired, and seemingly in control of her future, while the other exists on the margins, carrying personal struggles that influence how she interacts with the world around her. Their initial interactions are marked by distance and misunderstanding, but as circumstances bring them closer, a more nuanced relationship begins to take shape.

Great game with some soap opera-ish elements that just works.

A mediocre Yuri game. It’s a story about manipulation, lies, and immature love. Some say Qianxun doesn’t feel remorse for what she has done, but I believe she thinks what’s done is done, and that doing anything more would only make things worse or wouldn’t change anything. She is still an adolescent, so she at least has some excuse, while Zihua and Qingwei just come off as immature. Zihua and Qingwei helping Qianxun manipulate others could have worked if the subject had been handled properly, it doesn’t even have an excuse. Some features are buggy, including window resizing and the save/load system during choice scenes. I like that they kept the original names of the characters. I love Mianxun’s voice acting. I also like how they sometimes do a 360 while talking, like they’re on a runway.
