Not a bad ranking. I read pretty much the whole thing today. I think the flat characterization point is pretty accurate. The drama in each route (sans Shizune which has only a little drama to speak of and nothing that really happens in it) is only really superficial. Like they looked in a manual what all the requisite parts were for a VN arc without actually doing very much to bring them to life.
And the prose wasn't just bad, it was so inconsistent. Like Shizunes route used a pretty consistent syntax and then all of a sudden in emi the guy decides he wants to be pretentious mcdouchebag and start using fancy words for no reason despite the level of actual writing being pretty low.Like it was written by a high school senior struggling with his English classes.
Aside from the writing, the uneveness of the visual presentation was hysterically bad. Like the different characters, especially if you throw in the side characters like Emis mom and the Nurse and its like characters from 6 different anime met up in a single VN. The photo backgrounds are kinda cheesy too and the sounds were horrible.
I thought the portrayal of all the heroines disabilities aside from blindness and deafness which arent exactly rocket science was way overblown and unrealistic.
Easily the worst feature length VN I've played.
Shizune>emi>kenji>>Hanako>Rin>Lilly on my end.
