Never heard of it, but I'm sure it'll improve your experience with the route. Actually, I'm a little jealous. Would've liked to have that bug.

My favorite type is probably little devils. Pic is an example, or girls like Senren Banka's Mako (mostly outside of her route though), Chaos;Child's Hinae, Shinsou Noise's Sara or Tonakoi's Rina (again her route.. messed her up) and such.

If that's never happening, the MC has no reason to even exist for the most part. I mean it's a literal penis who can have any girl it wants. Need to do a LITTLE something against all the glorifying the protags tend to receive. (I shudder when I remember Senren Banka and how much everyone praised the protag as if he'd be some important god who descended to the lowly lowly village of theirs.. at least in some of the routes. Or at least in the loli route. God fuck that loli route.)


That said, I like girls being a assertive and the like, so there's that too. Pic related. A bit of teasing and impishness is nice.

Finished Fortissimo (1). A pleasant surprise. Characters carry it for the most part, it has a few nice moral dilemmas and grey plot in several ways. Great music and voice-acting as well. I also liked how it was a battle royale where all fights were because the characters wanted to. The initial "force into the battle royale" setting was there, but there was no further blackmail, mindwashing, misunderstandings or whatever to pit characters against each other, just different interests and trying the best they can do in their situation. Quite nice.

There are weaknesses though.
-Some characters. Most are nice, and Momoji is an incredible character in several ways, but some are surprisingly flat and/or irrelevant. Miki serves no role at all, while Sakura (the one in front of the cover) and Sayuki are just one-dimensional and flat. Really weird given that they are supposed to be main-heroines. In comparison to the multi-layered Momiji and even many side-characters having way better setup, struggles and "growth", it's just weird.
-Battles are just deus ex machina on perma-repeat. Great music, but not exactly great battle-design.

The newest version also has some boni, most importantly a "Sayuki" and a "Momiji" route. Both are utter shit though and far removed from the quality of the main-story. Sayuki's route is a rushed mess with most battles being obvious as you read the main-story and KNOW one of the participants has god-mode that can only be defeated by ONE THING. It also introduces an interesting character, just to not do ANYTHING with her, nor explain anything. Momiji's route killed the "never pitted characters against each other for shit reasons like mindcontrol" and brought one character back it really shouldn't have, in an incredibly dumb way too. Both end with a major deus-ex-machina, that's some of the most retarded shit you can imagine.
I'll just assume someone else wrote this shit. Ignore and move on.


That said I'm so confused who the main-heroine is now supposed to be. The "all-clear" cg features Sakura, but story-wise it's so not her... not that I'd mind that. Momiji is more interesting in literally all aspects, Sakura'd first need to become an actual character to compare. Maybe in the sequel.
