Okay, as much as I'd like to love the visual novel, the writing style is just not it for me. I get "white room" in between character dialogues and the narrative, the prose itself doesn't feel strong or evocative, especially in the scenes with slow pacing. I think the pacing definitely could be fixed to be faster than it is and the writing style could be improved. Some just feel too slow and boring. The art for the background and the characters meet my expectations well. The music is also atmospheric. Overall the writing just needs quite a bit of work.
So far characterization is really well done so far.
However, I'm still in Chapter 4 and my thoughts are subject to change.
