My favorite part about this VN is that whenever I think of it, the first word that comes to my mind is COCKHOLE.
I didn't even know it was a term people used, now it's cemented in my vocabulary.
I notice a lot of people are asking a route for Zoe without understanding that the main character is written to be gay. While it is a possibility that a Zoe route could be added in the future, it is highly unlikely. To avoid this misunderstanding in the future, I feel Rook should make this detail more discreet.
That's a good mentality to have as a game developer or a developer in general. You can't let negative criticism bring you down because that's what it is, criticism. Unless something crazy happens in the future that is totally unexpected, I think you've got a good future in making stuff on this site. But also keep in mind I have no idea what is happening behind the scenes so I wouldn't know of any other struggles you're having. That being said good luck. Sorry if this sounded cringy.
Another deep philosophical question: I've played a couple of VNs in my day and what I see (sometimes as a little easter egg in the game) is the creator's view on criticism. A lot of them talk about how people usually just say the game was just "good" and not going in-depth. I haven't played this VN long enough to leave that good a review and this isn't even finished yet (I understand a game can be criticized without being finished). So in relation to this oversized comment, how many people do you usually get just saying this VN or other projects are "good". I've read through these other comments and they have been rather thoughtful and well crafted.
Edit: I realize it says comments, not reviews
