Just finished my first route on Bloody Rondo. It was pretty good.

The action parts are pretty entertaining to read but I wish there's more of it. They don't get resolved by power of love bullshit or sheer strength but by the protagonist' wits. To be honest though, most of the fights could've been easily won by them chucking grenades at the enemy but I guess that wouldn't make for an interesting read.

Also I didn't expected it to have a plot so I was surprised I found out it had one. It wasn't that generic too and it got resolved properly. Well there's a few loose ends but I don't know if they're really loose ends since I only played 1 route so far.

Unfortunately the game have a massive problem with the pacing. It had a pretty good start unfortunately they had to bog it down with way too many slice of life scenes afterwards. Even worse is that they keep running the same jokes during those scenes. It's also pretty juvenile, there's way too many innuendos. The pace picks up near the end of the game though.

All in all the game is a pretty entertaining read, if you have the patience to read through the slice of life scenes and are willing to suspend your disbelief.
