Seems Too Grindy From Steam Reviews!
I happened upon this review from Steam and it has me iffy. I like the idea of the game, but not all this padded out grind. From The Review: "Cons -The grind! This game requires an incredible amount of grinding. Keeping track of hunger/sleep/shower means you're repeatedly clicking through the same five options every 3 minutes. Raising stats for love interests also requires constantly selecting the same options quite literally over 100 times for each love interest. -Progression is confusing, and you need to consult the wiki to understand how to progress most of the time. If you don't constantly follow the wiki, you'll find yourself stuck behind soft locks for love interests and missing many crucial events. -Confusing progression means constant saving, which is a lot to keep track of. Trying to 100% the game without cheats probably means hundreds, if not over a thousand, saves. Overall, this is a great VN that suffers from monotonous and confusing gameplay along with an absence of key quality of life mechanics. I actually think watching a playthrough of the game would be more enjoyable than trying to play it yourself. This is a game that I'd recommend with those fixes, but can't recommend in its current state." So if the idea of sitting there following a wiki while tapping the same choices every three minutes sounds fun, have at it. This is a very long game. Another user said they spent 50+ hours in only three or four weeks of the game. I just think there might be better options out there with less grind and padding.
