There is a certain tag this vn has, "Pure Love Story". Sounds like some general tag that can be applied to anything, right? Wrong. According to Cambridge dictionary, word "Pure" means not mixed with anything else, and that is how you should perceive this tag. Vns with this tag generally have no story, no character development, no drama, no humor, no fun, nothing aside from romance.
You'll have the unholy triumvirate of "donkan-hetare-kind" protagonist ripe for self inserting if you have confidence issues getting acquainted with X amount of female characters in the common route during some "bunkasai" or whatever the fuck, then you will choose one of them, they will have SOL conversations about weather(remember, no jokes or fun allowed), then they will hold hands, kiss, fuck in missionary and the credits will roll. Might get a blowjob scene if you were a good boy.
In short, avoid this tag like plague |

Keeping Saya no Uta at a 10 may be contradictory, assuming we are working with the same site tags. Jtlyk. |

As someone who finished both Kazusa routes in WA2, I really wouldn't call it that. It can't be pure after all the grease it inevitably goes through. |

2021-06-21 at 18:59 | < report >#5 The first thing to do here is to start by defining what you mean by "pure love story"; it is important to clarify whether you are basing yourself on an "idealistic" or "realistic" approach to the concept.
These are just my personal thoughts, but I always considered White Album 2 to be the pinnacle of storytelling when it comes to romance in the visual novel industry (considering what I've read so far). |

2021-06-22 at 13:14 | < report >Ya pure love story seems almost weird to me. Personal I don't like tag because usually seems to have a true ending or a central heroine which not a big fan of either. I would say the tag is actual lends its self to be anti vanilla if you read description just that the love of the characters can over come obstacle. Yet seems like its used as a vanilla tag more than anything which seems weird on how do you describe whats pure love and what isn't. Many titles have some conflicts and moe eroge but story always over comes obstacles even if its silly ones. They rarely get pure love tag even technically meet all criteria. |

2021-06-22 at 13:24 | < report >^probably the tag just have a bad naming choice. the alias "love overcomes all" is more fiting with the actual desc. but nowaday the tag has been misinterpreted as "vanilla love story" instead and mistaged so much that it's hard to control. |

2021-09-21 at 08:43 | < report >@10 Everything is alright with the tag. It's a story about Pure Love, not a "Pure Story of Love and nothing else". The word "pure" is about love, not about the story. |

Not the only mistagged thing here though. The amount of people who don't get what twintails are is also staggeringly high to the point there's no way to fix the damage. Even though the tag description is completely correct, so many people mistag. |

First time reading a SoL (=Slice of Life) VN? What did you expect here? Some kind of amazing plot?
There is no Comedy tag too. You should have checked the tag first and researched what SoL is before going through Hoshi Ori.
Its supposed to be mostly about the characters (aka. charage VN), their life problems, their dreams and so on.
Its just a realistic type of VN. Nothing amazing will happen. It won't even have some kind of garbage and boring plot like 90% of moeges since it has no plot. Its just about their life lol.
I can't blame anyone who dislikes that genre since thats the case for animes too. It's mostly about the vibes, the characters and the setting. If you dont like any of those, you wont enjoy a SoL VN. There is just no plot.Last modified on 2023-01-01 at 12:55 |
