"Is It Okay to Fall in Love with an Idol?" is a fresh new romantic comedy visual novel.
You become the manager of the new idol group "Melonchu (♡愛恋人♡)".
To succeed in their debut live concert, romance with the active idols is strictly forbidden... But love flags are popping up left and right, and the members start with MAX affection!
How will you overcome this crisis?
It's a chaotic romantic comedy with a "no dating" rule—a first in the otome game genre (perhaps!?)!
The story progresses on a common route until the live concert.
The Dilemma: Choosing options that increase the idols' affection will decrease the Live Success Rate.
Your Goal: Select choices that increase the Live Success Rate to guide the story toward a successful debut!

如果是剧情党就别入了吧。。。开头莫名其妙到我以为是pv啥的,声音挺好听的立绘也挺好看的。嗯,就这样
石。
甜饼小零食,几个人设都不太喜欢,而且有点相似(?)都是年下弟弟感的,实在是吃不来。隐藏的零司还可以但是太少了啊啊喜欢他!有的文案也有点尴尬了。玩法还是很不错的,第一次玩避免恋爱的乙游,画风也好看。如果喜欢看男主争风吃醋的或许可以买来玩玩?我个人是很不喜欢这种剧情←_←

只能说不是收集控和补票的别买,流程很短可以去novelgame上挂翻译器玩。(二编:steam上那个demo就是日语完全版啦,可以不用去novelgame上!) 种草点:喜欢体验不同口味以及手头真的很宽裕的可以入,本作包含大量乙女梗。同时主角姓名皆可更改,代入党友好。可攻略角色有四个,立绘还是挺好看的。 拔草点:第一次玩的时候其实是有一点摸不着头脑的,完全就是“这群家伙在干嘛呀”这种想法,剧情会有一些跳跃,并且全线通流程很短、没什么cg,大概也就两个小时。然后那个(应该算)附加特典的配音演员评论好像没有烤肉,本人听完一脸问号。同时因为玩了很多乙女梗所以有的地方会出现一些比较雷霆的剧情,看个人接受程度吧。
obviously you can see the hours i have on this game. mid.
Feel kind of middling about this game, but it's good enough for the price. This isn't a super deep game or anything, but then it's not really pretending to be lol. There are a few mistakes in the English translation (eg occasional typos and the like) but nothing super egregious. Unfortunately, the VA commentary you can unlock after completing the routes isn't subtitled at all, and the button to skip read content doesn't consistently work. It's pretty funny, although not all of the jokes hit. I thought it was interesting (in a good way) how for the main three routes, [spoiler]you get a bad ending if you don't break up with them[/spoiler]. Reiji is best boy. His route is legitimately the best in the game and is honestly worth buying the game for on its own imo. Unlike what the guide says, you CAN get his ending on your first playthrough, you don't have to play the others beforehand.
not worth it, the story was pretty bad and characters acted weirdly for no reason
"무료로 플레이 하기에는 엄청난 퀼리티, 6000원의 가치를 온전히 하는가 하면 애매한 게임" 미리 노벨게임컬렉션에서 무료버전 플레이 하고 왔음을 밝힘. 도저히 몇트를 돌려도 레이지 엔딩이 안 나오는 오류(성우코멘트와 엔딩 빈칸, 리뷰들로 추측)가 있어서 스팀판으로 넘어옴. 에초에 성우 연기라던지. 소재에서 매우 만족감을 느끼고 있었기에 수집하고 싶다는 고민을 했었기에 빠른 결제를 갈김. 인디게임에서는 5천원이 그리 가벼운 숫자는 아님. 생각보다 긴 각 캐릭터별 추가 에피소드에 놀랐고. 아예 주제가까지 녹음했다는 사실에 박수쳤음ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 실제로 충분히 만족했음. 기존 기계 번역으로는 이해되지 않던 인터넷중독말투도 완벽하게 번역되었고. 주제가 너무 명확했기에 방도가 없었겠지만 [아이돌들의 부족한 프로페셔널과 로맨스 남주로써 너무나도 허약한 멘탈]이 아쉬운 부분으로 꼽힘. 한번 팬들이 의심했다고 멘탈이 터져서 2주채 사귀지 못하고 헤어질까...? 한다고요? 그 높은 호감도와 그동안 보여줬던 노빠꾸 모습과 너무 크게 비교되어 캐릭터들에게 많은 실망을 했음.. 보컬멤 없이 데뷔해서 성공한다는 말도안되는 판타지아이돌이니 좀 더 굳건한 모습을 보였어도 좋았을걸. 결국 모든 문제점은 하나로 뭉쳐짐 >>>>>부족한 볼륨으로 생긴 필연적인 서사부족<<<<< 이야기만 길었으면 완벽한 게임이 되지 않았을까 정말 아쉽다....
생각보다 굉장히 짧고 간단한 편으로, 깊은 스토리나 서사를 기대하는 사람들은 플레이하지 않는 게 좋습니다. 깊은 스토리 서사 게임이라기 보단 간단한 개그 게임에 가깝습니다. 일러스트나 스토리 자체는 웃긴 게 많은데 너무 짧아서 생각보다 감흥이 없는 것 같습니다. 무료게임이었으면 간단하고 재밌게 했을 것 같은데 돈을 내고 하기엔 그만큼의 가치가 있나? 싶습니다.
It's just... bad. Don't waste your time.
