Rather too crowded, plot-wise, and a bit buggy. My game hard-locked when I was in the middle of some secret society nonsense I barely cared about. (And, arguably, the secret society framing junk was the weakest part of the work.) Among the other plots, one has the mob, a teahouse owner who's trying to take over the market, a possessed student, and a dozen other threads by the time the secret society stuff gets into full swing. Each of these was more interesting than what was effectively some fraternity that was far too full of itself, and several could've likely been books in their own right. I found myself rather wishing I could tell the main plot to piss off, because it was boring compared to everything else. It also seemed near impossible to stop the secret society unless one had the foresight or luck to pick certain magical paths to train at the beginning of the novel. TL;DR, not a horrible game, not terrible writing, but too many plot threads at once.
good idea but too many sub plots + bug related to the mc's first and last name not showing (shown in game as "Mr. , ,")

Довольно любопытная история в сюжетном плане с рядом любопытных ситуаций и диалогов. Мне понравилось, хотя была пара недостатков, которые слишком бросались в глаза: 1). Описание персонажей крайне обрывистое. Как-то странно когда ты описываешь человека только одной-двумя чертами, причём настолько выборочными, что это редко первые черты, на которые обращаешь внимание. Мне немного сложно объяснить... Просто подобные обрывистые описания скорее характерны для ответа на вопрос "Что тебе больше всего нравится в этом человеке?", чем на вопрос "Как он выглядит?" или "Какое впечатление он производит?". Вот здесь очень сложно представлять себе персонажей потому что они не описаны. Не обязательно описывать внешность (а тут описаний внешности как будто бы избегают именно чтобы не судить о людях по внешности), но нужно описание какое впечатление они производят на людей. Мне очень этого не хватало. Какое впечатление на меня должно произвести описание человека из разряда [spoiler]"У него добрая улыбка и потрясающие волосы, и он с готовностью вызвался вести записи для вашей группы."[/spoiler]? Здесь все описания подобны этому. Они просто ни о чём. [spoiler]Что именно в его волосах потрясающего? Почему это имеет для меня такое значение? Почему автор не может дать больше деталей?[/spoiler] Периодически кажется, что лучше вообще без описаний, чем с такими. 2). Некоторые вещи недостаточно освещены. Это мелочь по сравнению с первым пунктом. Просто иногда кажется, что кусок истории пропал. Иногда это из-за того, что ты не находишь ответов на свои вопросы. Иногда потому что во взаимоотношениях героев произошёл резкий скачок и ты не понимаешь почему. Здесь реально иногда задаёшься вопросом "Почему *такой-то персонаж* такого обо мне мнения? Что я сделал для этого? Почему *он* ожидает от меня *того-то*?" В остальном мне всё понравилось. Просто периодически эти два (округлённо) недостатка губят впечатления от чтения. Особенно если ты погрузишься в этот мир и тебе становится не всё равно что тут происходит, то недосказанность некоторых моментов вызывает вопросы. Ты думаешь что найдёшь ответы позже, но история заканчивается и ты остаёшься лишь со своими домыслами. Я не против пофантазировать, но порой хочется больше конкретики, чтобы понимать насколько твои идеи близки к канону.
I loved the idea, the environment, the characters and so on and that's why I will recomend it because it shows great promise and I had lots of fun. However... it does seem very incomplete and in need of a big continuation. Also, it's buggy. I tried many times to get a good grade in the second semester and succeed in another plot moment and both seemed impossible. Specially the first because the GPA is bugged by the second semester, which made impossible to keep it above 3.5 (important for the game). For now, I'll only be happy that I managed to save the life of my in-game boyfriend.
ГГ мечется между кучей примерно одинаковых по весу сюжетных линий, и примерно с середины читатель начинает путаться между ними и персонажами, которые просто не успевают полностью раскрыться и зацепить. Если бы автор сосредоточился на одной сюжетной ветке, удалил часть других сюжетов и персонажей, более подробно расписал оставшихся и развил лор, это был бы крепкий середняк. Но в текущем состоянии - порекомендовать не могу никак.
Solid game, good writing, I enjoyed it. Absolutely hated how depressing/disturbing some of the bad ends were as well as the forced memory tampering. Really enjoyed it up until that point tbh. Probably just a me thing but that ♥♥♥♥ left me in a bad mood for days after. Just find that kind of ♥♥♥♥ disturbing myself. Overall it was very solid and I'm sure other people will have a better time.
ETA: I purchased this on steam, but played it entirely on my phone. I didn't know if I needed 2+ hours playtime to transfer this to my Choice of Games account so that's why I just left it running without playing it on my desktop. This story started off strong, but it quickly went down hill. The jump cuts from one scene to another were absolutely jarring, and many times it would happen after I had made a choice. So... what happened after I made that choice? Why is it suddenly a day or a month later? I found the writing style to be abrupt, often confusing because of how often it jumps around, and the overall structure of the story to be that of a deflated balloon. About half way through I really started disliking this story as it seemed like no matter what choice I made it was the bad / wrong one, and it did not matter if I had high marks in that skill. This was hammered home as the choices I made seem like they had absolutely zero impact on the story, and instead I as the reader was merely riding shotgun to how the author wanted the story told. I grew so frustrated and disgusted with the railroading by the author that I skimmed the last two chapters just to reach the end of the story. Since I didn't take the path intended by the author (again, every choice that doesn't line up with how THEY want the story played is made very, VERY clear in the negative results of the choice) the first words in my epilogue were, "YOU FOOL!" This is an unacceptable way to conclude a Choice of Games story, and it again showed just how little the author cared about the reader's experience. This story gets a huge downvote from me, and I wouldn't recommend it to other readers even were it on sale. I look forward to NOT reading any more stories by this author should they ever publish more.
我们有魔法,我们有社团,有一份充满神秘打工,有似乎是黑社会的家人,截然不同的同学,这些本来可以是讨人喜欢的元素, 可当他们集中在这个游戏里的时候,每一样都显得有些差强人意。 写作还是可以接受的,但是故事总感觉缺了点什么,可能是因为作者试图加入足够多的东西,反而使得每一样都不那么有趣了。 我必须诚实的说当我玩的时候,我对加入那个秘密社团不感兴趣, 而且整个游戏的内容似乎不是很完整,我不清楚作者是否有计划创作后续内容。嘿亲爱的作者,你也许应该集中注意力在其中某些内容上,而不是每样都来一点。另外我个人觉得故事里的恋爱部分并不吸引我, 试玩的时候我以为MC的室友是个有挑战的RO,可惜实际上并不是。 我不是很喜欢打差评,至少试玩对我来说感觉还不错,所以我会给推荐,但是我本希望我能读到更好的故事的。 以下是自动翻译的英文,因为很抱歉我英语很烂。 The following is the automatic translation of English, because I am sorry for my poor English. We have magic, we have a club, we have a mysterious job, we have a Mafia family, we have different classmates, all of which could be endearing elements, but when they are concentrated in this game, all of them seem a little less desirable. The writing is acceptable, but the story always feels like something is missing, probably because the writer tries to add too many things that make everything less interesting. I have to be honest and say that when I played, I wasn't interested in joining that secret society, and the game seemed incomplete, and I wasn't sure if the author had any plans for a follow-up. Hey dear author, you might want to concentrate on some of them instead of a little of everything. In addition, I personally don't think the romance part in the story is attractive to me. When I tried it, I thought MC's roommate was a challenging RO, but in fact they were not. I'm not a big fan of bad reviews, at least the demo felt not bad to me, so I'll give it a recommendation, but I wished I will read a better story...
Very good. Darker story than the image suggests.
love it
