Personally, I love the way they write the characters, and each character actually makes me interested in reading their route. However, I dont really like how the main theme of the story was developed. I understand that the game's focus is about an election, but the daily activities and interactions between the characters are not really interesting. Also, about the main conflict of the game, I think the issue revolving around corruption and the "80 percent law" is rather weak and quite illogical, as it's quite strange that most students kinda accept that without questions (while obligated to follow), given its clear absurdity, but this might be just me. Also, I will overlook how they make the student council of high school kids seemingly too powerful because many fictions do that too. I love the artwork and the music of this game a lot, especially when they insert songs in some emotional scenes.

Been wanting to read this VN in a long time since I watched the anime. Honestly I wasn't really interested in any other heroine but Satsuki. In this VN, if you don't want to get into a route for the heroines you don't really want, you should balance between picking option that favor them and favor someone else except when it comes to the heroine you want to get into.

Honestly, surprised at how much I loved this Visual Novel (helped that I watched the anime way back when.) It's honestly really good, even though it's set in one period (election time) I love how every story is unique enough that it doesn't feel like it's repeating besides the default election scenes. Aomi proved to me why she's the best girl in Koichoco all these years later. <3

Love, Elections, & Chocolate (LEC) is the kind of visual novel that washed over me. There's nothing particularly great about it, nor anything particularly awful; it just went in one ear and out the other—or in one eye and out the other, I suppose. The protagonist Yuuki is a member of the Culinary Research Club (CRC). Despite the fancy name, his club basically just hangs out after school eating snacks purchased with their club budget. That's until Satsuki Shinonome, a candidate for the upcoming student council presidential election, releases her platform, and the CRC is among the clubs she plans to terminate as part of her budget reforms. After much persuasion from his friends, Yuuki eventually agrees to run for student council president in order to protect their club. Unfortunately, his campaign is somewhat of a footnote compared to Yuuki's growing romance with the five routes' select heroines. And while I can buy into the student council elections being a big deal in-universe, the way that Yuuki and his campaign treat them like not much of a big deal for 90% of each route until some massive, sometimes life-threatening incident is more than a little unbelievable. Similarly, the romance plots are, most of the time, unbearably melodramatic. Still, there is a bit of good in LEC. Isara and Satsuki's routes are mostly good, even though the placement of the H-scenes in the latter is a little wonky. Likewise, the common route is actually the best "route" in the VN. LEC's best moments are when almost all of the CRC is interacting, bantering, and just having fun; the common route has the most of this, and was surprisingly funny. Overall though, LEC never fully engaged me. I know it's Love and then Elections in the title, but I really think putting the politics on the back burner was a mistake, because I think that's part of the reason why the sudden escalations in the seriousness of Yuuki's campaign near the end of most routes feel unnatural. I imagine LEC appeals to a certain demographic of readers for its blend of school politics and romance, but I'm not a part of it. 6/10
