Started in 2022, finished in 2025 Of course, its recommended for anyone who enjoyed the Kinkoi base game. Each after story was decent, not bad, but not amazing either. I was initially interested in Ayaka route, but in the end, Ria stole the show with a nice ending. 7/10

By far surpassed its prequel Kinkoi Golden Loveriche, not exaggerating at all, Kinkoi Golden Time is one of the best in the area of “character development” in all of (18+) lightheart rom-com genre vn in the market. If you like Kinkoi Golden Loveriche, buy this ASAP.

Kinkoi: Golden Time is somewhat of an alternative telling of Kinkoi: Golden Loveriche. I highly recommend you play Golden Loveriche first, as there are far too many characters and events that don't entirely make sense otherwise. Golden Time has a similar set up as Loveriche; there is a prologue, three new routes (and like Ria's route in Loveriche, her route in Golden Time is blocked until completing the first two routes, Ayaka and Mina), and several "append" scenarios that are 20-30 minute-long scenes for each of the remaining girls. The append scenarios are a little bit of bonus story and if you have the external patch installed, an additional H-scene. Golden Time is a bit of a re-telling or re-imagining of the first game in that the prologue is set up as a sort of flashback, but it doesn't follow any of the routes in Loveriche. The timeline and events line up such that it would be as if Ouro didn't choose a route in the first game; though he knows certain things about the other characters he only learns in specific routes but he isn't in a relationship with the other characters. Overall, the new routes were good; though I think Mina's route is the second-worst in the two games, just a little better than Akane in Loveriche, but I did like Ayaka's and Ria's route, even if they didn't quite stick the landing. Ria's route has similar feels to the first game, so be prepared for that. The append content is really just fan service and frankly, I have no recollection of any of the events; they're short and mostly just seem to serve to draw out the length of the game a little bit. I recommend Kinkoi: Golden Time to anybody that has read through Kinkoi: Loveriche. I didn't think it was quite as good as Loveriche and it's a little bit sillier in spots, in a negative way, but still a solid visual novel. *External patch provides uncensored, non-mosaic'd scenes.

Kinkoi: Golden Time is a mixed bag for me. I was super happy to spend time with the group again, and overall it was a fun time. Absolutely play this AFTER Kinkoi: Golden Loveriche, or you'll be missing the story. The common route was the typical goofy romp we've come to expect. Mina's route was actually pretty good, as was the "Append." Ayaka's route: I really, really disliked the over-the-top 4th wall breaking and overall treatment of her route and "appends." I feel like they did her dirty. Too much fan service - yeah yeah I know it is a "fan disk," but still. Elle's "append" had a bit too much 4th wall shenanigans as well, even though she's a great character. Sylvie, Reina, and Akane had pretty good "appends" as well. If Ria wasn't in the mix, Reina would 100% be my fave girl across both games. At the end of the day, we're all here for the Ria end/True end, and I think it was handled really well. It's worth getting through all the other routes to witness it. It's not perfect, but it's pretty damn good, and still hits your heart. Make your Golden Time now.

Kinkoi Golden Time here acts as a sort of DLC for the main game where it focuses on the after stories of the main girls. Even though it does focus on after stories Golden Time does give new routes for both Ayaka and Mina which was definitely needed after the base game gave them so much screen time, but no route. It reads like the original except they did Akane dirty and turned her into a gag character. If you enjoyed the main game then I can recommend grabbing this one as well just to stuff yourself with some after dinner reading sweets. Reina is still best girl in my heart no matter how much the story focuses on Sylvie and Ria.
