Chrono Clock - Miu and final thoughts

Miu

Well, he was right. This is not a route, but a mini-route. That can be finished in 15 minutes tops.

The content is itself not bad, just standard charage stuff. Don't expect anything great.

 

Final thoughts

On hindsight, I might not have needed to split the whole VN into so many posts. But I thought of writing them as soon as I finished them, so it ended up being that format.

Anyway, I'll just list down my complaints first:

1. The central plot device could have been explained better. Especially why the routes are ordered like they are. I understand they have tried to put forward a world lines theory of sorts, but that doesn't hold candle in terms of clarity and usage when compared to a certain other famous VN with world lines as its genre.

2. Was there really a need for a Michiru route, at all? She plays a brilliant support character in the other routes, so was it needed?

All that being said, I enjoyed almost all the routes, each in their own ways. Misaki's route had me grinning like anything, Makoto's route was really exciting, and Cro's route was an awesome ride and the best of the lot.

And I really liked the different route format, i.e. the climax is almost always about the confession, enabling ichaicha to be kept to a bare minimum (*glares at Senren Banka*).

So yeah, apart from Cro's route, this is your average charage I guess, with a more classic galge-type route structure. That's it.

 

Maybe I'll resume Rena's route in Senren Banka next. Aka long flurry of posts should calm down for a while, lol.

Nice review there, and by the way if you need some more icha icha you could play H Scenes for each character.

As for Miu, to elaborate here actually there is a reason I called prologue 'Miu arc'. The reason was the prologue was actually more fitting to be Miu's route (Albeit with no ending unlocked yet) because the prologue focused on Miu like Clephas said. That's all for my elaboration.

By the way, right now I'm tackling Misaki if you curious.

Ah, finished them sans Michiru.

Indeed, as such, this VN has no "common route" in that sense of the word.

And enjoy the cute faces she makes when angry. Oh, the voice acting for her is great too, so might be a good idea to listen to that. :P

In keeping with the time travel theme, I actually liked how they did Miu's route. When it came time to unlock Miu, I replayed the entire prologue to have a sense of fullness about her. It greatly enhanced the replay.

Yep, that was originally how the Miu route was meant to be enjoyed. In my case, only a couple of days had passed since I read it so I remembered most of it. Therefore didn't feel like reading it again. Even though Miu's so cute, it's rude to her...

There isn't really any route order, there is only miu and cro for last

I know. That's just a personal musing on which route order would be maximally profitable in terms of impact and fun.

Que sera sera ~

One question i have in mind, i really liked Makoto's route but why the image of makoto holding a water gun playfully in the sea wasn't shown anywhere in the Makoto's route?

and why in the memories i have yet to unlock a gallery of 27, i thought upon finishing Makoto's route it will be 27/27 instead it's just 20/27 (the one while Rei's playing a gamble with Makoto)

Good point. But do they have a scene where she plays with the water gun? In the game itself I mean... I can't remember.

 

As for your 2nd question, don't mind that and keep on reading. ;)
