Thank you for downloading the demo, I'm happy you loved it so far!
I'm glad that you liked to see which item matches which character and... you might be surprised for one or two of them x)
You say that you habitually don't like kinetic novels, unfortunately, there won't be much of choices further in the story, and the few you will encounter will not have a huge impact on the routes (mainly, it will only lead you either to the Friend Route or the Sweet Route), so I hope you'll not be too disappointed because of that ;-;
Ryu seems to be people #1 so far (buuuut Toshio is catching up, somehow!) and he ended up becoming the project's mascot, for some reason xD
I hope you'll still like him after reading further in his route~
And as for the supernatural hints, it will be present in two of the routes. Although the supernatural activities will not be the main focus on the routes, it will still be an important part of their back stories.
Thank you again for your kind comment and feedback, I hope you'll still love the final version despite some points that might not fit your tastes (> w<)/
