Crystalline Reviews

Once again PixelFade did very well with this Isekai visual novel, the voice acting again was great, the humour and or banter between the characters i thought was amazing, there are some great choices you can make to add to that as well, the art is beautiful especially the background art, it also has the usual tropes of the Isekai genre. If your a fan of the Isekai genre you will enjoy this.

I know I haven't played long enough to form a complete opinion, but I quickly understood why some people say, "The story is average and the characters aren't memorable," and still recommend the novel. Despite a story that hasn't done anything exciting yet, some of the dialogue choices are hilarious and I found myself smiling throughout the entirety of my play. But once I stopped I found nothing to pull me back to it, and whether I'd recommend it or not ultimately comes down to one thing: It's supposed to be fully voiced, which is true except for the main character, who is also the narrator. I understand the design behind this choice. Leaving the main character without a voice gives the audience a chance to give him their own voice, but ultimately I found it immersion breaking and hard to follow. In the first twenty minutes, the main character/narrator is about 75% of the dialogue, which meant I couldn't turn my brain off and listen to the dialogue (like I hoped for with a "fully voiced" narrative). I enjoy reading on a good day, but when half of it is reading and half of it is voiced, the thought of getting back into it feels more like a chore than like fun. For those of you who don't care that half of it is unvoiced--or those of you who prefer it that way--I 100% recommend just because it's quite well written.
