イハナシの魔女

An indie visual novel that was so well received, that it got an English translation and release even on consoles.
The plot has magic and Okinawan folklore, but the focus is on the relationship between people.
Akari chapter is the weakest, I didn't really like it. Especially when stupid, absurd, silly nonsense began to happen. Fortunately, it was only in this chapter.
Tsumugi chapter I liked very much. It was touching and sad.
And next Lilun chapter. It didn't disappoint either. Finally we learn more about her and protagonist.
Some questions have not been answered and there are some strange plot twists. I guess people who analyze and theory crafting will find holes in the plot. But I'm not like them. I just read and enjoy.
Not everyone will like this VN. I have a friend who didn't like it. As for me, I don't consider it a 10/10 masterpiece. It's just a good VN with which I didn't mind spending time on.

the usage of real life photos without any context over several dozens of characters is unnerving, there's alot of characters getting introduced without any drawings, so basically you'll only see an empty background while this 2 people progressing the story.
but nonetheless its a good "love story", a bit deus ex machina type of story, where all of the problems are solved "magically", but a love story needs a good ending so its a fitting one at that.

9.7/10
Best Love VN I have played.
GP: Daily talk and touched story, especially during the character POV change you can see the story more deep which let you under the totally story better. When I play EP3 every emotion burst in a sudden and can't help myself.
The most I like the topic the story wanna show : Fate.
Nothing is decided unless you have said no to yourself. The story about friendship and fighting I still will pay for that with tears.
No BP: I just reduce this 0.3 because I wanna the music collection badly, please. And hoping the Append will have the EN version soon.

Basically, it is a masterpiece in manipulating my emotions -- in a good way. It starts out like most slow burn romances but when it picks up the pace, it picks it up masterfully and in a way that keeps you in your seats. I was basically on the verge of tears by the end and I am for sure experiencing dopamine withdrawals from the fact that there is not more content after the ending. Sadly the post-post-credit pdf is RM21.75 and isn't translated so unless they translate that I'll be left with a Lilun and Nishime shaped hole in my heart. </3

An average boy means a not-so average girl, and his life is changed forever.

The game starts out a bit slow-paced gradually introducing elements and characters that play a large part in the ending of the game. The characters are charming though I do wish some of them got more screen-time as the rest of the cast.

The game doesn't have the highest budget as, characters outside of the main cast are unvoiced.
The # of overall CGs, though few in number, are used great times and are all very beautiful.

The culmination of all the elements of the story come together extremely well and make for a very emotional game, particularly, in the last half of the game.

I will definitely be keeping my eyes on Fragaria's upcoming games, hopefully with an english translation.

I'm not too familiar with Light novels and got some clunky usage of the game system like saving loading auto ,... but I love this art style and I got hooked to the settings and the flow of this story.
I'll get the extra content once it's translated (I hope).

good story & great art
need more cgs and less sound effects (the explosive one is awkward sometimes)
