I don't play a lot of visual novels so I may just be misunderstanding how this kind of route is supposed to go but...this was a very painful game for me to play. The object of our character's affection is a stuck up ice queen and it's hard to understand why our main character is so obsessed about her other than the fact that he's a horny teenager and she's a beautiful young woman. When the game doesn't let you make any choices and your character's choices by default are so consistently bad it's hard to sit through episode after episode of not only the character being embarrassed but having to listen to the character's cringe-worthy thoughts. The school structure also makes little sense as it appears designed to limit the students' competitiveness by having the worst students always be in competition with the best students. Overall, I don't understand why this game has so many good reviews.

A bite-sized VN treat. Interesting story and characters -- there's nothing ground breaking here but it's all well put together with good writing, art and songs. It's short, but for the price offers excellent quality. I wish the devs had made other visual novels, continuing the series, but it seems their main focus is VR games.

There is not much to say about this one. It's kinetic VN, slice of life, about high shool romance. There is also magic (talents) and various absolutelly stereotypical characters that you have seen in anime. Add to that absolutelly average MC (with good heart ofc), some fanservice and that's it. That being said - it's well written and it wasn't boring at all :) Nice and optimistic story to fill some time between some longer games maybe. Visual side is really nice, and I can't complain about sound either. My only problem is that it had some plot holes that were never explained - like how the hell MC got to that shool in the first place xD I felt like it was implied that it was not really luck but rather something done deliberatelly. I suppoes that it could be revealed in other routes - but gess what it's 8 years already and I don't know if we are going to get other parts. Which makes me a little sad. Some polishing, choices to enter additional routes and it could be solid VN, not just appetizer. Anyway - it costs like 2$ on sale. Give it a try if you don't have anything better to do :)

Cute romance visual novel, but nothing groundbreaking. There is only one choice without significance in the whole novel. If I could give a mixed rating, I would. It's important to note that the game crashes everytime after starting on some devices. This is a known issue, but the novel probably won't receive any further updates, therefore it is possible that you won't get to play it. I had to use a different laptop myself to be able to play.

Other route when? especially Haru
