Despite its somewhat focus later in the game on the eroge part (if you get the uncensor patch that is), and despite this having been one of my entry novels back in 2015, this is a really fucking good spinoff to the series, that can be played without context about Sunrider as a whole and enjoy. Sola's route having connections with the main game, Ava being the best girl ever, Chigara having her whole, well, *plot* (not to spoil anything), and asaga's dumb ass, all shone brightly to me and got me into the Sunrider series a whole. Only main issues is that this game is best played: - With a guide - Having more control over your stats from outside It also has some weird and niche mechanicsbut if you just get done with it and move on, you'll do just fine. Overall, I personally have a special place in my heart for the series as a whole, and this spin off being as light hearted as it was, was an amazing experience. Note: I only bought it after a month or so that I played back in 2015, so my playtime is limited due to that.

I just barely recommend this game, like a 6.5/10 rating. It's not bad, it's not great, right there in the middle. The plot is basic enough and fairly standard for life management VNs like this: you go to school and manage clubs, helping the girls out to increase your affection with them. The girls are each different and interesting, you'll probably find at least one you like. I found the writing to be actually very funny and clever, which was unexpected. There were a fair amount of typos and grammar issues, which is always aggravating for a VN - the whole purpose of which is reading. I can't believe developers can't be bothered with proofreading. There is no voice acting and not many sound effects. The music was catchy and it didn't annoy me after several play-throughs, which is a plus. The artwork was well done, both backgrounds and characters. No motion or animations, just still images. The 18+ patch was pretty good, but it's a pain to get it now. The biggest problem is the game play; you could cut the amount of activities in half, or halve the timeline, and it would still feel like a tedious slog. It really needed to be streamlined. The concept is good and I enjoyed increasing stats to meet goals, but geez it just goes on forever. Seriously, so much time passed between events with the girls, doing a billion mind-numbing clicks, that I forgot what was going on and had to pause to remind myself. And then at the end of the game, the girl's story wraps up and you finish your responsibilities, but they still have you increasing stats uselessly just to end the year! The positive is, you get really good at clicking really fast through muscle memory just to skip through it. The achievements are a bit ridiculous. Half make sense and can be achieved through the stories or careful stat planning, but then the other half are just outrageous filler, requiring half a dozen play-throughs doing one achievement each (hint: it's real easy to cheat thru them, see the guides). Overall, I enjoyed interacting with the girls and seeing their stories a lot, however, the game play was just tedious. If you like these kind of VNs, then I do recommend it. Of note: I bought and started playing this without realizing it's part of a larger series of games. It's like a disconnected side story to the rest. There were quite a few references and easter eggs throughout the game, but they were so obviously broadcast, that even I knew they meant something. I'll probably check those games out, maybe it'll make me like this one more. Shrug.
