Ahh, Hoshimemo. I completed most of the routes back in my early days with VN. First time I learned about Tsundere. Prior to the main routes, everything was quite nice. Got pretty much every standard requirements for decent common route. The artwork and character sprites however, truly pleased my eyes; probably what keeps me going and unlock other main routes.

I just recently realized that I seems to only enjoy common routes or prologue in most of the school life/slice of life VN. For some reason, when I got to the main route, the enjoyment and enthusiasm seemed to deteriorate when the plot shifted towards individual romance and the rest of the characters got much lesser screen time. Sometimes the romance part became too heavy for my ADHD brain and I lost interest altogether. (For example: the common route in Hoshi Ori Yume Mirai is beautiful and amazing but after picking the Rikkia's route and continued a bit, I kind of lost my enthusiasm) Most of those common routes that fascinates me contain some sort of lighthearted stuff such as a group of friends hanging out, slap stick comedy during various activities, lots of side characters and developments among heroines. Sometimes It felt so good that I forgot to sleep. I believe that the common route in Majikoi and Little Busters influenced my taste the most. If only common route can be longer.... I'm craving for some good and long common route..... I sure hope to hear some suggestions or maybe perhaps some insights.
