Ha, seems like I've missed yet another "exhaustive review" from someone who gave up without bothering to read anything.
The art really never gets that much better... Near the current uploads have artwork that at least have like straight lines and smooth textures, but like, it still looks awful
That's a blatant lie and a half. The artstyle improved tremendously. Talk about making shit up to hide your bias.
The character writing and choices are terrible.
Anyone else seeing "I barely read anything and didn't understand when I tried to read so that means it's terrible" ?
Like why on earth would you even make a likeable girl (or femboy) that is literally the president of your fanclub and then make an extremely disturbing option to kill her when she finds out about your secret identity.
Complaining about the game not forcing you into a predetermined outcome when complaining that the choices suck is wildly stupid.
Even with a walkthrough which seems to be practically required for the amount of bad endings this game has, you can STILL soft-lock yourself by not "training" enough at a certain point in the game (many hours in.)
"I can't be fucked into making more than one singular save for a game that has several dozen hours of content."
Skill issue.
it was just an extremely overrated, poorly drawn, edgy-fest that people adore for some reason
Yet more proof that they didn't bother reading any of it. Like, seriously. You need to be either arguing in bad faith or just plain stupid to not get the amount of world-building, and the smart character writting.
But I guess some people prefer two-dimensional characters who are just all good or all bad with no nuance and depth. It's too complicated for their brain's bandwidth otherwise...
