ReviewSo Smee tried to copy Making Lovers formula (which i love, and also successful) where after you know little bit about the heroines you force to choose one of them.
But in Hajirabu they put it in on high school setting, which unfortunately didn't work as intended. While i like Hatsuho's route and pretty enjoying Sakurako's route (but sometimes the 'icha-icha' really overboard in her route), Kouta's route pretty nice too with more family centered, and Yui's route decent. IMO the formula just not works as well in a high school setting, there just something missing. Also not really helping that the writing was sub-par

All and all not really a bad game just a disappointment for me, since I really like Making Lovers

< report >The fact that they made Hajilove high school only is really stupid given part of the appeal of OG Making Lovers is the short common route makes sense when most characters are adult age and how modern dating works.

High school makes it more limiting even if you try to copy the short common route thigny.

< report >Yeah i agree, the short common route (especially Making Lovers style) does work against high school settings

< report >I think high school setting could work but problem is vn tend to be stuck in tropes. Everyone in high school from all backgrounds was horny and had a bf or gf from all the different groups. Even the crazy ones that eventually got kicked or worse. The only issue would be how different that protagonist would have to be to likely end up with one person or another if want it to be unique.

< report >#4 yeah they could technically, but they just copy-paste making lovers formula so it doesn't feel right. If they execute it better the short common route style definitely could work.Last modified on 2022-07-31 at 23:50
