Reviewfair ja nai

This piece of garbage bipolar game I swear. The format is two protagonists and two routes that converge to one end. The problem? One side is irredeemably shit.

Senri side is actually pretty good. From the initial twist to the heroines' character arcs to the great mind games to Sawasawa's greatest performance ever in Ruu (Ruu best girl), I have zero complaints. The ending on his side also wrapped it all up very nicely.

Then you have Haruto side. Forgettable villains, cardboard cutout heroines, repetitive fights and worst of all: Haruto himself. If you want to die by alcohol poisoning, taking a shot every time he says "fair ja nai" will do the trick in less than an hour.

This is a 5/10 because Senri side was 5/5 and Haruto's was 0/5. Worst protagonist ever.

< report >somehow i can understand about it, in 3rdeye vn this one is the worst more than bloody rondo. haruto side can be better but everything can't work well like how gensou no idea work with their dual protagonist. i just didn't know why it can be like this despite all 3rdeye vn have same writer

< report >#1 I have a hunch it's deliberately written this way to set that contrast between Haruto and Senri. It's pretty clear they're trying to show how naive Haruto is and how he needs to mature and grow up, while the edgelord Senri learns to become more empathetic and human. The problem I feel is that Haruto is never really taught the hard way that just swinging his giant sword and bumrushing everything won't solve all the world's problems - because they basically are solved via him screaming as loudly as he can.

Then add Asahi who really is in the wrong genre, and then have the player swap to the bigbrain edgelord Senri every now and then, and what remains is a very unenjoyable protagonist and his very boring route.

Also, that catchphrase. That really needs to go.Last modified on 2021-02-06 at 03:47

< report >I have to disagree with Ruu being best girl.

never stick your dick in crazy. she's only anything 'good' because let's be honest she's cute. remove that and there's literally nothing left to her. she's a psycho and a crazy bitch. she's only a pump and dump material. leave her after that. change your renting apartment and never let her know where you live.

< report >pls she's probably more sane than asahi and haruto combined, also pumping and dumping ruu is fair ja nai

her laughter and overall insanity turns me on, based sawasawa

< report >ruu is more sane than asahi + haruto, well that is not wrong because riku is the only normal heroine in haruto side. sadly ruu have not too much development and it is not weird that some people see ruu as a replacement character for nine from shinigami no testament

< report >Yep, Ruu did nothing wrong, should've gotten more screentime. Wish the Ruu NTRing Asahi bit lasted longer, I enjoyed every second of that arc!
