I will admit, initially I didn't expect much out of it as it seemed like a standard "MC was in an accident and has to rediscover his life" scenario that we've seen many times before. So I was happy when it became clear that it was not, and the story really picked up once it gets to the first school day. I'm now quite intrigued by the story - complete with personal theories and predictions - and the characters, and it seems like it's only going to keep getting better.
3 out of 5 is still what I consider a good game. It's mainly a slow beginning that brings it down tbh, but it's far from the only AVN to suffer from that, and the fact that it's only v0.2 naturally means that many characters and storylines haven't gotten enough focus yet to bring the score up.
Most AVNs wouldn't have gotten higher than 3/5 until v0.4 or v0.5.
Fair point! When I compare that with my own crunchyroll rating preferences... I usually don't watch anything below 4.2/5 stars xD. Also, if all new games get at most 3/5 I think a lot of newer devs might loose motivation to continue developing. So I might have to make smaller updates to pump my version number up, heh. Anyway, just my two cents, thanks for clarifying, though!
