Beginning's a bit rough, and I usually hate asshole protagonists that don't think of anyone but themselves; but the story was surprisingly deep, in the end. Ending of the game was a little disappointing, because even after everything, Iroha never admits she's in love with Tooru, and I found the entire situation with Tooru and his mother unsatisfying (he was far too forgiving), but still a surprisingly enjoyable game.

I'm gonna keep it real fellas, I just downloaded this because I wanted a nukige to jork it. Atelier Sakura usually gives the goods right away, and I'm coming off a story-heavy VN bender that's lasted a few months, so I grabbed this. Famous last words. To keep this succinct, yes, this is a netori nukige. You got the nice stuff fast and quick, and with minimal plot hindrance no less. Yet the MC is complex, with an interesting backstory, so much so that the quest for an easy-fap ended up with me being earnestly invested in the story. This isn't to say that this VN is wonderfully written OR complex in narrative, just that it is compelling in its simplicity, and earnestly executed. Plus, the 3-4 hour brevity meant that the H-scenes were well interspersed with the story beats, in that neither feel out of place or dragging. Both were pretty primo, in my opinion. Anyway, I ended up caring more for the story than the sultry stuff, but if you're here just for the jorkin', the scenes are pretty hot. Just bear in mind you may be like me, and forgo the primary directive as it were and instead just want to see how the plot turns out.

This is hidden gem. Because: First. Its Atelier Sakura. Generally produced NTR, generic most of time, plain as flavourless genre, most of their visual novel if you want to describe them. So, this one title is PEAK PERFORMANCE. Yes its NETORARE. But dont worry since you won't get any pov from cucked or the heroine. Yes. Its NETORI visual novel But cheating is cheating. People despite that regardless the tag varies for NETORARE. I RECOMMENDED it. I cant believe i had to submit 5 stars review. Its almost like an insult for this hidden gem. Give it a try. You wont regret it.

This is a completely linear story without any player agency, so would actually be better anime IMHO. Nonetheless, it's 5 star material because of the quality of writing and drawing. Beautiful characters, and a twisted story that somehow makes a unlikeable MC sympathetic, such that the ending feels overall sweet even. The very definition of short and sweet.

Overall vote: 8 Masterpiece. This one is seriously way too good and way too underrated imo and it is one of the best Atelier Sakura games for me. This one is a netori which is kind of unusual for AS since they usually go for netorase or normal NTR. The MC and the FeMC are super well written characters. The ending is great and the sex scenes are HOT as hell! I would've really wanted to score it higher but here i talk about a small (but really small) nitpick that i have with this game. The boyfriend i really feel it should've had a bigger role in the story. The story is linear, there's only one path and one ending. Basically for such a great game i really feel like it should've been given a bigger budget. It would've really benefit to have it been longer with multiple endings and with the boyfriend having an actual role and some action ...

What a beautiful story. All the characters have agency and don't just fall into their usual roles. The VN does play with classic Japanese NTR story conventions, but easily manages to transcend them to make it a delicate story about family, resolution and ultimately redemption.

This is one of the best Netori games I've played. The MC is actually very likeable, his backstory is quite believable and his motivations make sense. The Heroine doesn't break until damn near towards the end of the VN, which makes it so much hotter. Story pacing was great, with plenty of sex scenes and the Heroine VA did an excellent job (those orgasm shouts, whew). Wish more VNs were like this. Only thing I didn't like was no Preg sex, but the story kept me hooked so I forgive it.

It has a surprisingly good story for a netori game. Overall high-quality art as well. One of the best Atelier VNs since much of their stuff can be bad at times. The Mc is a pretty complex character mostly ruled by his own trauma and even if he is in the wrong, it is hard to hate him. My main issue with it is that even though the ending is given a decent amount of time, I wanted to see a little more to be satisfied.

This is the first Atelier Sakura game I would ever dreamof giving such a high rating but... the story was interesting, the characters had a surprising amount of nuance and depth, the sex was hot (if you're into involuntary netori, which I very much am)... The only thing I would say is that there were occasional grammatical errors or typos, mostly early on. to the translation team (I know you are active on F95) thank you very much!

This is actually a really good VN, It would be even better if there are some choice to make. Like 1 or 2 even. You are playing the guy that steal the girl from the other, so a Netori game if I remember this word correctly. And the MC has childhood trauma where his nature mother abandoned him and his adapted mother sexually abused him. So he became sleeping around with married woman, the reason is given in the story, I won't spoiled too much here. The art is good, and the FP looks sexy without clothes. Unfortunately there is no animation. The art is good enough to stand with the story. What make this game stand out is the story. A story where a man seeking for revenge but got redemption because of the girl. I am a bit touched by the story. Won't spoiled here, you can go through it yourself. The only thing that I don't like in this game is there are too much "ah, ahh, ahhh, ah, ahh, so good !!! sho gooood!!!" and it makes it hard to get the meaningful sentence. This is not a long story, about 3-4h read. And you need a Local Emulator to run in Japanese otherwise the game won't start.
