I'm going to be honest. I liked some of the writing, but a lot of things about this game felt a little... unfinished. The characters were tropey, but they felt almost a little TOO flat and a lot of them actually turned me off of what was going on in the story. I also wasn't sure about some of the pacing; it took way too long to build up to anything, and then all of the sudden there was a ton of stuff happening at once. Couple that with the game's final ending, and it just made for a very oddly-paced story that felt like there was no true conclusion. With that being said, I really liked the artwork for the game and I loved the sound choices that had been made. I also liked the choice of making a taco seller the protagonist. All in all, it's a pretty decent game and one of the few VNs I've played that I liked. I just feel like some of the pacing needs to be tightened up a little bit.
The tropes were there, but they didn't really feel fleshed out. And the game took a while to really get going, but once it did, I felt the tension rise from what was going on. The true ending was a little lackluster however, in that we didn't get any closure from the MC at all. The pacing definitely needed work.
