Fair warning to anyone thinking of attempting these visual novels:

  • The protagonist is the dumbest and most thickheaded person I've ever encountered in fiction (and I've read a lot of dumb fiction, including quite a few visual novels). If you cannot tolerate extreme idiocy, you're not going to like this series.

  • About half the story is meaningless filler (yes, that's 40-50 hours of reading time).

  • The plot is very straightforward and predictable.

(Posting from the anonymous community account since I don't want to get into another argument with a muvluv fan about any of this. This is strictly my opinion, take from it what you will.)

He's pretty dumb at the start but I think he grows nicely as a person over the course of the series, though he's certainly never particularly smart.
