    @narcosis Don't let my review stop you from reading the VN, it's always interesting to debate and see what other users think about the same topic, maybe you understand the plot in a different way or see the story from a different perspective than I do.
    Which brings me to you @clephas, please don't self promote your review here (I don't care really) I just find it annoying, if you want to refute or give me your opinion on the game do it but don't just post something randomly, what's the point in that?

    Are you saying that the title of the blog is misleading because it's too broad and it may cause confusion about its content, causing click baits? If so, then that was the point :Kappa:

    name: another tutorial to play vns
    content: pretty chiitrans text hooking in fullscreen mode

    idk man

    You can use any software you want not just chiitrans, another parser like translator aggregator for example, this helps you to overlay anything you want in fullscreen mode which is something you can't do normally.
    Use your imagination :rimu:

    If I had to guess I'd say the shirt is just a joke :P Tronto is pretty bad though.

    It's not xD

    (they even wrote bad some names on the credit scene in some mini movie, after you finish the game!)

    btw I know i'm not the most qualified person to point out english mistakes :P but the ones you encounter in the vn are pretty obvious and bad (like tronto)

    Yeah, I read your blog, but that's exactly what the flashback looks like so that's what I wrote, even though marriage was never really mentioned. :P 

    And I know "No Program" was a joke because Yukito corrects her later, so it's not like the writers don't know any better. :sacchan: Oh, and to their credit, they picked a VA for Bethly whose English pronunciation is (relatively speaking) pretty good.

    Well yeah, that's a hand warmer right? Based on the fact that he had to shake it to get it to work, it's probably a chemical one too.

    Yep, those were chemical hand warmers. This is one of the of the things I complained, they talk on and on about some specific item but they never actually show it to you. How hard could it be to show you a rectangular picture of the mentioned item just to give you a rough idea? >_>

    Oh, trust me, the engrish is strong in this VN.

    You got everything ok until that part so keep it up! You have a long journey ahead of you so good luck.

    Spoiler

    well maybe not with the promise... who knows xD
    Your mom likes to tease you A LOT (and to momo-sensei also xD)
    Hinata speaks engrish on purpose that's the joke on itself
    Bethly speaks engrish because the writers didnt even bother to use google translator to fix their broken english... 

    finally you need to understand the whole situation with the カイロ, this is probably what she was dealing with, so it kinda make sense xD

    Bethley and Yuzuki are the easiest routes to read probably (specially bethley's)
    Hinata's route is probably the hardest but funniest (I will create a blog one of these days to talk about her route and momiji)
    The choices to pick a girl are really easy to spot (only 2 of them matter, the rest are meaningless)

    My opinion? I didn't know much about this here because I'm still not play this yet (Duh). But at least I knew that for Tone's Work VNd here the CG was the one that had most variation here, for example I'd found more than 10 or more variation for one sex scene CG here (I checked Hoshiori on some CG viewer site though, not this one). For more information here, even SLIGHTLY change in expression count as one variation for CG here, while many VN here didn't care about that. Other than that, not care much although maybe because just recently Visual Arts expressed interest to Western market, maybe this game had chance for localization (Or it could be Hoshiori too).


    Regarding the art, yes it is exceptional, there are 3 character sprites for each girl (almost child looking, teen and adult-like) and even naked sprites, so yes they didn't spare any expense xD
    I do find annoying the fact that, and this is an issue that pretty much every single vn out there has, they talk about something but they dont actually show you that thing, for example at the start of the novel they talk about a draw of snowman (that both they main character and bethly draw) but they actually never show you how it looks...which is mind blowing since showing you a little sketch of a snowman should be something really easy to do but they don't... and this happens with a lot of things! 

    I think the size of the script for bethly route is around 1.2mb (including the common route), so it should be like reading cross channel, around that. Translating it shouldnt be something difficult but the whole script is probably around 4-5mb so it would take a lot of commitment and time to do so, also translating bethly's route sounds like a pain in the ass.

    I've only read a tiny bit of it so far (because I read very slowly - I need to look up basically every kanji), so I'll probably be stuck reading this for a while. :P

    I chose to omit all the things that happen in the after story since that part is the best one and I don't think it's a good idea to spoil the little "plot twist" that this vn have, it definitely grows on you with time, it gets boring at some point but it pick up the pace later on, so yeah keep reading it, you wont find something easier to read at least not good xD

    Geuss I'll have to plow through all the crap in my backlog to be able to give this a try. RIP me :komari:

    Yes, it's super ultra long, it consist of 3 big parts basically, at one point it becomes extremely boring... the part just before going to the university or it was for me at least, but then you go to the university (which at that point you are in the "after story") and it gets good again because it introduces you a new set of characters (3 of them), so basically you are reading like 2 or 3 VNs in one... like I said in my "review" the length of the vn works against the vn itself.

    I dunno... Yuzuki's route was pretty good, though I'll admit that I liked Bethly's more, not the least of which because it has a much richer cast of characters (I was kind of disturbed by the fact that they added in three new characters with sprites in Bethly's path, but there were no newones in Yuzuki's, lol). 

    to be fair I'm really bias when it comes to the imouto route, I even disliked kana ~Imouto~ which was a solid vn but then again I have a sister and I just can't take any "sister romance plot" seriously in any vn no matter what..

    It really looks like bethly's route is the "true" one even if the novel really dont have one, she is even separated in the front of the cover lol and that always means that it's the main heroine most of the time xD

    why is there so much hate on Hinata's voice acting? I think it's pretty good, in fact aside from her cheerful attitude (and how she quotes her mom every time lol) I really liked her because of the voice acting, it was really hard to pick one heroine route because of that, leaving aside the imouto route which I hate and the old childhood friend and that promise cliche thing they always do... UGH!
    momiji, hinata and bethly are a must pick for anyone really (bethly still on top)

    I'm reading momiji's route right now and I hope that image isnt some kind of spoiler for bethly's route (I was playing her route and stalled it just to play her last because she seems to be the best heroine xD) or I will have to kill you clephas :ryuusui:

    Probably not a vn for everyone but as a lover of slice of life and good romance without any type of fantasy in the middle this is top-tier at least from the novels I've read so far.

    The technical issues are probably(99% sure) due to them using unity, why did they use it in the first place? Beats me but they clearly don't know how it works.
    While reading this vn I suffered constant mini hang ups on the screen transitions (it probably behaves differently depending on the pc itself but this shows that they tested the game only in a few pcs) and some times it crashes on the start or freezes for a few seconds, also some sprites characters at times they were wrong... I don't know how to explain it but when they changed position it looked weird..
    The sound in general is also a problem with the engine itself, like when you start the game the volume setting is set at 10000000000% lol

    You are criticizing that poor lamp but your what about the potato camera you are using to take the photo? I can't see shit! 
    IMO you are just being racist against that poor and kawaii lamp and thus being racist towards lamps in general.

    It's meant to be used as 1 little capsule for 1 coffee, if you buy a pack of let's say 24 then you can make 24 coffee, the normal coffee "sizes" are lungo 140-110ml, expresso 40-60ml and ristreto 25-30ml, I don't of any brand of coffee that makes capsules where you can make an starbuck size coffee, you will need to use coffee grounds and another type of coffee machine for that.
    There are some brands that say that you can fill it like 180ml but it will be watery as shit (you will need to use 2 capsules for that)

    These are however really big

    "If you have the option to choose a brew size, choose “Small Cup” (5.25 oz.), “Small Mug” (7.25 oz.), or “Large Mug” (9.25 oz.) based on the size of your cup or mug." 9.25oz = 275ml O.o I never knew something like these existed.

    I use nesspresso and dolce-gusto
