Thank you very much; I can't think of any way I would have figured that out. You have saved me much frustration.

I don't get it. There was some agitation, absolutely no friendly or romantic interactions, and after a locker room scene the story abruptly shifts to graduation. There is a bit of prologue and ... that's it? The whole thing didn't take 10 minutes after I selected Haruki's rout to finish and automatically go to the starting page. I would worry about spoilers, but nothing happened.
Did I do something wrong? I chose Haruki's route all three times it was offered. There were no selections to make in any of them, so no way to avoid the disjointed ending which did not mention Haruki at all. This was 0.64P download.
I get the distinct feeling something went wrong. All of the comments I see seem to indicate that no one got this ...ending? conclusion? What happened?
Perhaps it is just my odd way of thinking, but I never regarded the different storylines as connected. Adrian has involved himself with different situations in each route, and I expect core characters to be different accordingly. This particular path involves polyamory. That was made clear before the path even started. I would expect Russell and all the rest of the involved cast to change because of this. Does one really think that the monogamous minded husky in Diego's and Tai's routes will suddenly want a permanent threesome? Something needed to be done to ease the storyline in that direction so Adrian would consider both Dom and Axel as three way love interests.
Being able to turn Russell down seems to make the possibility of a love triangle less likely instead of more. It is worth mentioning that Adrian "allowed" himself to be under the influence of drugs and persuasion that could only steer this one way (and rather strongly, if anyone who has done this drug remembers!).
It is early on, so I am more than willing to let Xevy set the circumstances BEFORE introducing Dom an Axel into the story.
I read some of the previous posts, and find the criticisms odd. I read Diego's route first, then Tai's. What impressed me was how much your creativity as a storyteller had improved. Tai's route has much more content cleverly woven through it, with other characters and their sub-stories adding so much interest. I look forward to your future updates not just to see what Happens to Tai, but to Eric and Jay, Dom and Axel, Logan and Tobais, with possibilities of other relations like the dog and kangaroo. You must realize by now you could turn this into a regular novel instead of a VN with descriptive content to replace the visuals.
Far from being upset over Russel's early involvement, I am glad to see you are starting right off with serious character development in this route, instead if it appearing towards the middle.
After reading some of the short sighted comments, I don't wonder you feel a touch of anger and burn out. Please do not let the quality of your work or the progression of your literary talents be stunted by those who think you are writing some sort of short comic book feature.
These critics may be loud, but are hardly in a majority; most people like your work I am sure.
Excellent VN. You make the characters so compelling, a real feat considering how little text is used for each scene. Everyone tends to rag about how much time is between updates, but it seems to me all of the best VN are doing the same thing. The others cite difficulties, lack of time or staff, as well as burn-out.
Please hang in there; I would rather wait than have you abandon such a fine work. Believe it or not, I read portions of REPEAT all the time. Then again, I do the same with good books. It takes me to a different place, and I enjoy a few hours of entertainment in my ordinary life. Thank you.
Very well done! I placed this on my Steam Wishlist so I can get it in 2023 when it is released there. I have an account there, so it is easy for me to purchase and play games from it.
I have a number of VN games I like, but this is the only one of them Steam has considered offering. I was impressed by this, and look forward to it's future release.
