Woo!! Congrats again on publishing your first commercial VN! Been here since The Legend of Winged Ones and an active lurker in the devlogs(not active enough bc I missed the release date) I've finally finished the antagonist route last night, accomplished every route in this month.
And phew, what a ride for the antagonist route, it's such a gut punching, bittersweet ending despite being a good ending. The final CG of MC and him are well done(and other words that I can't describe). I can see the pain in his eyes as he decided to do the right thing.
I love the characters! They are charming and lovable but the top 2s are Arya and Antagonist. I kinda regret going for Arya's route first because Guntur and Kahlil(especially Kahlil) didn't have a proper chance to shine because I skipped most of the story and only read the new dialogues and events after finishing Arya's route.
Because of that I feel a bit inadequate to compare them to Arya's and Antagonist's route. So next replay, I probably do Kahlil's route first.
My favorite routes are
Arya > Antagonist > Guntur(the teasing towards MC are funny and both of them have fun dynamic) > Kahlil(I don't hate him, it's just that his route is the least memorable one😔)
After playing all 4 routes, the endings does felt a bit rush, I was expecting a little reunion for MC's family, their reactions to MC's bachelor and her overall feelings about the whole adventure for the ending. Not getting it felt...off? Because how I see it is that we've been building up MC's family and her dynamic with them at the beginning, to showcase how important they are to her and not seeing any interactions afterwards felt off.
Honestly that's it for my criticism for the game, the game is like solid 9/10 for me. I'll probably replay in the near future.
(I will buy any dlc/extra content for any of the bachelors(especially Arya and Antagonist) if you ever plan it, Antagonist needs more love from MC!!!)
