Reviews:

I think the plot is a really cool idea, but imo the writing is just not there.The characters tend to feel fairly bland, while even somewhat nonsensical in the case of Hana, and progression of the story hinges heavily on similar nonsensical writing, and the protagonist being.....rather dumb, I feel.The first instance is really early on imo, with the principal canceling his health insurance, and then trying to threaten him to keep quiet since higher ups wouldn't believe him over her. This.....doesn't make any sense? It isn't a he-said she-said circumstance of being his word against her's, there was already a tangible consequence to her doing that, with evidence.Similarly, later on when the principal confronts you about being seen with Hana, the conversation again feels nonsensical in order to get to the end the plot demands. Why would the principal wait to confront us, when in every previous case she acted immediately? Why would she refuse to verify anything with Hana? Why didn't the protagonist say a single thing to explain a circumstance that is extremely easy to defend?It's a shame, since the idea behind the game seems interesting, but the writing feels like it's bumbling along with little regard for the involved characters...

One thing that stuck out to me is how almost every time there's any sort of development, it's complete nonsense.Nothing Hana does makes any sense at any point. Her deciding to get the protag a watch makes no sense, the way the confrontation plays out makes no sense, the way she approaches the circumstance after the confrontation makes no sense. It seems clear to me that there was very little planning, because almost every encounter with her has seen the author write themselves into a corner and having to do these nonsensical things to get out of it.Kaede's story honestly felt so weird, but not for the reasons the story tried to make it. Protagonist is literally just being nice by offering to play games with her, which while unusual for a teacher to do, is not immoral at all! Yet....the protagonist starts yapping about how he's so horrible and creepy for doing this to a student. The strange insistence that this scenario MUST be creepy is the part that feels strange to me.It's really a shame, since I did think the concept was interesting. Not terribly unique or originally, but interesting enough that at first I wanted to see it through. I.....do not think I will be seeing it through anymore.

From this day, this VN for me is the best game in terms of sharing emotions. Firstly, I thought that it's just another game with NSFW content, BUT after I've spent here some time and finished the game, I understood that it's not just some 18+ game... IT IS something else. You've made a great work to show emotions, issues and trials that characters had to endure. Literally, the situation with Natsuki in the shop even made me cry(a little).Keep up the good work and make the game really astonishing!
