Reimei no Gakuen - Otome/Visual Novel Reviews

Very long - great story line - really enjoyed the interactions between the characters - just wished there was more - more CGs too. The romance was a little light for an otome I found but I haven't played through all the routes yet. Enjoyable.

This game has a lot of content for the price! It has amazing art, writing, music, and a gripping story. It has many unique branches that flesh out the really good worldbuilding and the battle scenes are partially illustrated and very well written. This game has a lot of replay value. All of the characters and the story and their struggles are somehow relatable and Sheryl is an excellent otome heroine - unique and strong!

This game is basically an anime in game form, complete with the slow tedious buildup, the lengthy training sequences, the ridiculous fight scenes and power levels, the surprising deaths of key characters, the dramatic reveals and dramatic final showdowns, the random interludes in the middle of tension for multiple minutes of slapstick comedy and characters going "..." and staring at each other, the magical power of friendship etc. Very competently made and well-polished, so I'll grudgingly say I 'recommend' it to people who are interested in playing an interesting anime. For me, I found it way too tedious. EACH of the 6 routes + common route was easily 6+ hours and also too 'meaninglessly unique' - much of those hours were lines that were meaningless and fluff (different training montages etc) that were technically 'new' and therefore wouldn't auto-skip if 'auto-skip seen content' was selected. Also way too light on the romance - all I ask for is a simple kiss CG but even that was nowhere in sight. Oh well, not my cup of tea.

some small typos here and there, but overall one of my favorite visual novels i've played. the sountrack is fantastic and the plot is well written, i LOVE the lore and would definitely play some more from the dev if they have the same love and care as this one does. 10/10

The game is good,have nice plot and nice scenes, There is fantasy and comedy side romance stories,each the characters is good and good to know them, I'm just complete Ending with Sin Route and the story is quite long and not short that is make interested to know the other Routes :)

This is a masterpiece of a visual novel, they captured the plot and story so well, along with the CGs. I loved the routes as well!! They added the chill interaction with the interests so well with the Climax!! I went with Sin, Aito, Osamu and Fraser's route! And they have been the most beautiful routes. Sin has alot of Cimax with actually showing the death of the Emaurade twins instead of just telling us and we get really cool moments with CGs, he'salso Chill/Calm and really strong! (Btw I love his bro) Sin is my very favourite ^-^. Next, Aito is really chill! And we actually get to see who he really is (I love his eyes!). Aito is also strong and has special abilities..! He is my favourite along with Sin on the same level! Osamu is a real mystery until we find out he's been looking out for Sheryl in the whole story! I love him so much and is on the same level with Sin and Aito (Btw Wolves are my fav animals so I love him even more c^-^c)! Fraser is CUTE! He wears cute bunny accessories, I love his friends/brothers a lot as well, one thing I want to know though, is if Blake woke up... I really enjoyed Blake even though he betrayed us, and Aiz is so cute and loyal even if he's a bit silly..! Fraser always tries to prove himself which I love as well with his shin!! They are all my favorite characters with different interactions! I think everyone should purchase this game if they enjoy Otome and Visual novels. Remei no Gakuen is in my top 3 favorites as well! 100/100!

10/10 would recomend it! A great visual novel, with a creative and original story, characters, art and music. Every rout you could choose is in itself quite long. I so far played though 3 routs and it took me almoste 35h. If you want to do every route, which seems absolutely worth doing (and I aim to do) because you can see the story transpire in so many different ways and learn things you wouldn't otherwise in others. you will have more then plenty of hours to read and enjoy, absolute worth the money spent on the game. While you end up close and spending time with the character of your route, there is far greater focus in the story itself instead of routes only being about romance which I quite like. This shows much more story depth and diversity, especially because every romance character and NPC has so many character layers to them which can even differ quite much between the story paths. I find the protagonist to be the most important piece of a visual novel for me to enjoy and Sheryl is definitely a protagonist I've absolutely loved going through the story, especially because she is quite unique compared to most visual novel protagonists. She is intelligent, strong minded and scarred from her past but still able to grow, learn and change based on choices and expirience as well as positive and negative influence of NPCs and the love interests. In most other novels this rearly happens. One negative thing I have to mention between all the positive expiriences with this visual novel is, that there are quite some typos and grammar issues within the story, though it diddn't bother me much I know that others might be irritated. In the end I highly reccomend this visual novel to everybody that enjoys reading long, eventful fantasy storys with a touch of romance, unexpected twist and turns as well as plenty of choices to be made and great art.

Great Novel, love it. give it a try everyone you wont reget it Did play the demo and was waiting for the full version Edit: after few hours and 4 routes done from 6 , i only can say best novel so far i got to read, thanks envolps for such a great game! and defintely for the most experince i would rather say play all routes to get the puzzle full togther, more i dont will say rest up to you guys... Edit 2.0: Now i am done with all routes , for all endings and all gallery pics you will be busy around 100 hours maybe even more depends how fast you read. I am still the opionen best novel so far i got to read, each routes has at some points his own ways to experince the game and story, some suprising some sad some happy some even funny. the main char is great i love her , and all chars are really good some will you hate some will you never forgot , but thats all good becouse that makes the game even more better. i just hoping for a secound part from that great novel. if you lazy to go trough all routes with self work you can find each walktrough on ther website. but defintely go osmau and hiryuu as last routes they give away the best routes in my eys , only aitos route was a bit weak in my eys but still ok , there it depends on each others taste. my english writing is not the best so i gift you my wrong writing on some words.

This game sucked me in from the moment I played it. It has a great plot, fantastic characters and each route were different and interesting in their own ways. Sheryl, the main character, is quite expressionless, blunt, pro-active and nonchalant with a sweet tooth and a curious nature, she is not very nurturing and it takes a while for her to get close to people she is also quite mature for her own age, having to grow up fast thanks to her past. She isn't the typical MC and she grew on me quickly in the game. It also has 6 Love Interest that all brings something different in their own routes, along with a 'common route' route. Now I will warn you this. This game, while is an Otome, is not very romanced focused. This is more plot heavy and actiony and it does not help that Sheryl herself is...herself so do not go to this game expecting lots of romance and lovey dovey stuff. That said, I liked how each route helped nurture Sheryl's relationship with each Love Interest in a natural way. I guess if I have a minor complaint, I do wished the endings for each route, specifically the good endings weren't so open ended (especially for a few) but I am hearing this game might have an epilogue game so I will cross my fingers for it to be a reality. This game also has a lot of side characters that are prominent and given a chance to shine in each route and some adds to the plot themselves so they don't end up making me wonder "why are you here?". Overall, this was a great game and I do hope there's more left after this.

10/10 would recommend this game to anyone interested in checking this out. I knew of this game as early as when it was on Kickstarter, back when I was captivated by the writing style of the demo, and now having bought the game on first launch, I am more than pleased with my purchase. If you are into romance-focused visual novels, then this game may not be for you. But if you enjoy plot-heavy stories in a fantasy setting with supernatural powers, then this is your cup of tea. Not to say the romance is not well written (interactions are wholesome and cute), but with how action filled the story becomes, particularly in the later chapters, romance is usually not on the forefront. But it didn't really matter, because your attention is kept busy alternating between the main cast and the diverse set of side characters. One thing I love most is that, depending on the route you are on, different side characters get their time to shine. They are crucial to the plot, as well as allowing you to understand more about Sheryl and the guys. Sooner or later, you become as endeared to the secondary cast of characters as the MC and the LIs, so much so I much enjoyed the Common Route (labelled as such by the official guide), aka the friendship route where Sheryl does not end up with any of the characters, but that does not make this route any less interesting than the other routes. As for our protagonist, Sheryl is a terrific heroine. Not only is she not a damsel in distress, she also fights at the frontlines as one of their strongest. But it is her mental strength that is even more impressive. While she is not without flaws, you see her grow throughout the routes, in which not even her phobia or grief hold her back from what needs to be done. The good (apart from those already mentioned): Needless to say, the art is beautiful. The music is fitting, especially in fight scenes where it really gets your adrenaline pumping. The pacing is good. The first half of the story is lighthearted to allow you to get a grip of the setting and the characters; while the latter half picks up its pacing and rushes full speed ahead without making it feel forced, with the earlier chapters preparing you for what is to come. The world-building is also wonderful. The background of the LIs is quite diverse as well, so completing each of their route contributed to a rather complete big picture. The bad: Something minor to nitpick at is that there is a fair amount of grammatical mistakes (in Sin, Hiryuu and Osamu's route in particular). Another thing is that I wished there is a clearer indication of whose route you are on. But that is only because I am used to either having a status screen which shows the affection bar, or seeing the face of the guy whose route you are on at the chapter divider once the story branches. If you use a guide though, then it does not matter. Lastly, I honestly desperately wish for a sequel/fandisc. I would love to see more of how everyone's shin work. In addition, some routes (e.g. Fraser and Osamu) have a happy ending that didn't seem satisfying at all, so a continuation would be good. And of course, with how attached I became to the side characters, I definitely wish more of them had their own route (even if platonic), like Director Cloise, who ends up becoming my favourite character, and also Tsurugi and Blake. Or it would be nice to have a prequel to before the start of this game, as in the early days of the academy or even before that, like how the senior members each came to meet the Director. It would be interesting if we could know about the CR member that went on missions abroad and the one mentioned to have died early in the game. i also felt like it is a shame there was not a witch LI considering the races mentioned. I tried to be as vague as possible to avoid spoilers. Some things are better experienced after all (like how the romance developed between Sheryl and each LI and how their relationship dynamic differs accordingly), but if this is the least bit helpful to whoever is reading, then I am glad. Thank you, Raikon Kitsune, for an amazing game.
