Having read some of dangpa's previous (non VN) works long ago, I expected the writing to be less cohesive or a bit harder to follow, but that's definitely not the case here, as the pacing, the dialogue and the information are presented in a manner that makes it very pleasant to read overall. A couple typos and a couple short sentences that might get just a little bit close to purple prose territory, but otherwise, it's enjoyable through and through, and I particularly enjoyed the character study approach that the story seems to have thus far, having ample time to focus on specific characters, without neglecting world building or Howl's development, specially considering dangpa's impeccable taste in husbandos.
The UI has plenty of fun elements, it looks and handles nicely, and the art is banger as per usual, leaving aside bgs that may or may not be placeholders to some extent (?). Other than that, a couple more songs would've improved the experience significantly in my opinion, whether original or royalty free tunes for ambiance. I'm still intrigued by the lack of sprites as well, wondering if that makes it easier or harder to work on future content, but aesthetically, it's a nice change of pace compared to most VNs out there and it looks pretty great... so yeah, it was a very enjoyable read and I'm already excited to get more of it.
