are we consuming the same media? most of the time the harmony is just on the surface and there is jealousy and tricks but usually its childish rather than cruel. i think one problem you have is expecting everyone to be fucked up and just resort to tricks immediately, sure there's plenty of that but there's also plenty who are well adjusted and if you befriend or don't hold real animosity towards a rival things won't escalate. another thing to consider is that MC has a good chance of eventually finding out about what the girl did which can deter most girls from playing too dirty. yuno for example doesn't care, or stopped caring at some point but for pic related they were all pretty embarrassed when everything came out

ironically i ended up liking the girls in their default order so nodoka>inori>korone>yuuki

nodoka left such a strong impression early on for so many reasons it was just hard to top and with the later revelations i couldn't think of anyone that deserved happiness more. one thing that bugged me for the longest time was how she said she used to be shy and introverted even though that never seemed to be the case, i was really happy when we finally got to see it in a flashback and again in her ending though it was sad the other 3 girls ceased to exist in it. for that matter i feel bad for ever having thought she was denpa

inori really grew on me over time but by the end she was almost on par with nodoka, and her ending is also arguably the closest thing to a happy end in this game

korone was an endearing mess and i liked how her character unfolded. i remember her first hscene how she tried to seduce MC and once it looked like he wasn't going to go along she became increasingly desperate from "i love you please go out with me" to "p-please, even if it's only this once...", it was one of my favorite scenes before the ending kicked in

and i honestly didn't like anything about yuuki at first, from her being a genki kouhai to character design and tan, even the coach incident being part of her routes. that said she was an effective last piece to the puzzle. her just being an ordinary girl who got swept up in this mess like MC and her also feeling the weight of the love from the other girls really made her a nice character


and yeah i got the true end, probably tied with nodokas end for me. i also tried to listen to the drama cd but i always hate them and gave up a few minutes in, i don't think i could stand 40 minutes of it
