The Seasons

1/10 it isnt very well written

The Seasons is Miki Squadron Project's first visual novel, released in mid-late 2017. It is one I picked up a while ago and have wanted to read for a bit now. The concept of connecting character arcs based around the seasons intrigued me, and while I didn't go into this expecting anything particularly good, I can say I was underwhelmed. The visual novel is split into 4 short stories, these being in the following order: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Summer and Autumn are undeniably the better stories. Both are really solid, and you get a good sense of character and story out of them. It amazes me that Summer wasn't the opening story, and instead the weakest one (Spring) was. The other two stories are just not good. The plot is all over the place and no effort is made to make the reader care about the characters or make them remotely interesting. I find this especially weird because Summer/Autumn actually did make these efforts and were quite good as stand alone short stories. The art, while not my preferred style, is used really well throughout most of the acts. There's a good variety, though the image quality and resolution on some images isn't very good and takes away fro…

A very short novel that discusses a few life concerns in a concise and meaningful manner, but it lacks a solid foundation on story pacing and on-point execution. [b]Graphics: 7.5/10[/b] Pretty? Yes. But not the highest of the high. Its comparatively better than other VNs in its price point; I’ve seen much worse. This is more than enough for this type of novel. I’ll go as far as to say that this is one of the strongest points of the novel. [b]Storyline: 5/10[/b] The story told in the Summer and Autumn seasons were spot-on and I’d give those a 9/10 respectively. Although, the story told in the Spring and Winter seasons didn’t make much sense. It feels as if the author [i]tried[/i] to connect these two seasons with the TREE you keep seeing at the end of each season, but it seems as if it didn’t turn out as expected. I initially thought that the individual story for each season was a great idea until the author decided to connect them, it was a good attempt, but was poorly executed at the end. [b]Sound: 6/10[/b] This was “fine” for the most part. Sure, it’s very repetitive, but it sounds great. For its price point I didn’t expect so much attention to the soundtrack. I’m quite ple…

游戏没有skip，autoplay文字点了也没有反应。过长动画太长，每次结局都要展示xx工作室的广告。

Boring. Uninspiring. Slow. Devoid of Skip Button. Wouldn't recommend to anyone. P.S. Full price is atrocious.

Mediocre stories with mediocre art and a poor translation. There are dozens of far better options.
