Most "good" games have at least somewhat realistic characters. Sure, these are stories, so certain things will be rather unlikely to happen (i.e. several girls falling for the same random dude without much of a character), but that's fine. It's why you read stories or play games.

Of course, things like good characterization, growth and whatnot aren't easy and nowhere near as much rewarding as it should be. Otherwise Nekopara wouldn't be the most successful VN out there. Which is also why Minori's latest title puts all effort into graphics, voices, ero.. and kinda forgot about the plot. I'm sure it'll still be successful and well received on EGS.

I mean if it's bad, most "good" characters would do something like that? Pic related.
The question is just: Is it played for laughs or serious? Often times it's supposed to be comedy-violence, which is a trope of its own. When it's serious, it's usually(?) handled seriously. I think a commonly known good example for that is Koichoco where said girl is apparently just crazy when she doesn't get the guy. (though she's mandatory at first or something? Didn't play it)

I'll post a bit a mini-review soon. Am pretty much done with it now, just need the "true ending", but I'm kinda out of time right now.
In very short: I like the characters, the main-plot is quite interesting but it wastes some potential and has a few weaknesses. The concept and little endings were pretty nice ideas so far though. Feels a bit like a "kuru" game, just with a lack of foreshadowing I suppose. Ch2 is in fact something I can see people stopping at as they'd assume there's not going to be much after that anyway. I know I was thinking about it, but luckily it wasn't THAT long. Still easily the longest chapter. By far.
