Well, I guess that depends on your skill as a writer. From my limited understanding of Japanese, it appears to be a very minimalistic language, with single phrases covering a wide variety of meaning. Also, it seems particular emphasis is given to how things are said as much as what, so there end up being a depth of nuances that one might miss if they're not familiar with them.

Of course, if you can capture these, then I'd be happy. If not, then probably not.

Aside from the writing element, I also tend to like serious, non-harem VN's, so I might place more emphasis on the writing than the majority of /jp/.

I do not like teen angst. The protagonist was cool for a little while, and I could handle the first few arcs, but once it became apparent this was effectively a kinetic novel I lost interest (after Sacchi's path really).

Then, after being uninterested in the story/ 'plot development', I had to sit through THREE MORE stretches of teen angst. I was barely able to force myself through Touka's for that reason.

I was expecting a dating dating sim with an awesome protagonist and a twisted society, not a kinetic novel with a angsty teens out the ass and short 'ending' for your heroine.
Think of it this way: I play dating sims to look for my specific version of moe (which is difficult to find), and I don't really want to deal with the other archetypes, because I dislike them. Sharin FORCED me to DEAL WITH ALL THEIR PROBLEMS to get ANYWHERE. So what if Natsumi can word her 'feelings' craftily? I could care less if she threw herself under a train and died. Touka can utter "I'll murder you" as her Tusndere quirk? That's nice for her, but I hate Tsunderes.
Even if something 'interesting' happened in their arc, it wouldn't appeal to me because it was too targeted to that moe's fanbase. I was through with it the first time, and I sure as hell wasn't going to sit through more of it.

I didn't like shuffle for a similar reason, although they at least let you focus on a girl fairly early on.

A different viewpoint doesn't prevent an intelligent conversation.
