Note before I start this review that this game was on Kickstarter and was asking for a $50,000 goal in mind when creating this project. Though keep in mind if you check the patreon for this company they are able to leak an abundance of content in the art perspective which shows that the majority of CG's and spriteworks were done. A demo was also released which let players listen to the soundbytes for all of the respective VA's and their work, and from what it seemed that had been done too. If the art production was nearly complete if not done, and the VA's had an ample of soundbytes when the quotas for VN's aren't even to be voiced. Then what was left that truly warranted needing to rely on Kickstarter to get $50k? Now for the review, this game is a mess of a product which is held back by it's writer. All art and VA's show clear love for a project, regardless of it's topic. The writer though can't seem to decide whether he wishes to subvert tropes and break the status quo or to roll in it as if he fears he won't be able to reel in an audience. This game tries to deal with serious subjects within the idol industry, but overall the lack of understanding that the writer has of it, and his general lack of understanding when it comes to how a person works makes it obvious when themes of sexual abuse, and sexism are immediately forgotten in fear in not appeasing people who want a shallow pornographic VN. It's ridiculous how much this product tries to be things that it's not, and also fail at being what it really is. This VN is over 500k words long, and I will admit this. It was always advertised with this word count in mind to appeal to people, but it's just pointless filler that meanders just to fit an advertising quota, and a very dodgy one at that. It disregards even the simplest rule of writing, "Less is more" In conclusion, nothing of value would've been lost if this VN's Kickstarter would've just failed. The same applies if it sells awfully as well.
