Sakura Shrine Girls

Well i don't know what to make of this. Generic as hell but at least it is a step up from the sewer that was Sakura Beach. The MC here is somewhat reasonable and appears human. The characters are bland but they are not as annoying as I thought they would be. It was okay I guess. Passed through it very quickly, especially the useless inner monologue that is abundant. So the story is much shorter and very basic. And the ending is just... well, kind of a let down as it is abrupt. I'd give it a neutral...

A great Visual Novel to read, would recommend on sale.

Basic VN, no nudity. Story is nothing to ring home about, there's no meaningful decisions to be made. Maybe this genre isn't for me, but I can't see the point in playing something like this.

One is calm, refined, and dutiful, while the other is carefree, impulsive, and playful. Their presence not only disrupts Toru’s quiet routine but also forces him to confront his beliefs, responsibilities, and growing emotional attachments. The narrative unfolds at an unhurried …

Yes. 10/10

Yes I know ya'll are getting this to goon, but come on. Have a tiny bit of higher standards than a visual novel that barely has anything worthy of gooning over and characters about as interesting as a piece of cardboard. They couldn't even be bothered to draw any of the other characters that weren't the 2 girls. Makes scenes where you talk to anyone else so hard to get through cause you're just looking at an empty room.
