ReviewThis visual novel is honestly disappointing however, I will say that there are few things I like.

The character designs are criminally cute (especially Mia), not only do they have great overall designs that are just unique, but they are very beautiful and colorful/vivid.

The music/OST: The openings and also the background music are soothing and shift in tone is really good and suitable for some of the scenes, when it shifts to a darker tone.
The singing by the artist sana is just awesome and I really liked the two opening overalls.

However there are many flaws to this VN and sure this isn't a When They Cry masterpiece or part of the franchise and I never expected it to be in the first place but the writing is very jarring in my honest opinion, I feel like some of the character development are very rushed and enforced upon in the story (especially Mia and Tyler) and also some of the characters literally have no fucking character development whatsoever.

Sure Mia x Tyler was there and secretly Hilda x Leona was there as well but the rest of the character like Holy, Joe, Rita, Simon, they all seemed to have a backstory somewhat but were all rejected, but they also had potential to have a good development.

The twist about the Loop was average and uninteresting, but the ending where they all unite once and for all and Mia's awakening from her coma was a sweet ending, but it doesn't amount much honestly because the ending felt very rushed

This doesn't feel like a Ryu07 VN at all, it feels like Ryushiki was a puppet getting controlled by someone and writing this story for Loopers.

If you are a WTC fan, I highly doubt you are going to like this.
Dear people waiting for EN translations, if you are just an average reader, sure but be warned that this is very average even for an average Ryu07 fan.
5.5/10.

I think this has potential to be a good visual novel, but this ain't it chief.
