User Opinions

u/snowman728

"The quintessential starter VN. If you are looking for a novel as someone who has never read any visual novels before, most people will point you to this one, and for good reason. It counters its potentially offensive-seeming premise and the preconceptions of the visual novel genre with a heatwarming story that will compel you to seek out more stories to replicate this experience. Its cozy setting and fantastic soundtrack make for a nostalgic story, even after dozens (or hundreds) of novels read. KS will shift your view of both disabilities and the visual novel genre as a whole. "

u/superange128

Many people's first visual novels and how they got into the genre. A simple but surprisingly deep and emotional story which essentially humanizes people with disabilities. Has a good mix of romance, comedy, and drama to help you figure out which genres you'd like to get more into going forward. Just keep in mind there's no voice acting.

u/Wis-Talia

Everything in this game, from the soft music of the main menu to the art, is soothing and relaxing. It's definitely a great read, especially if you're looking for a way to change your mind from the bad thoughts of the day !

u/applemons9183

God-tier deconstruction of VN romance tropes. Heroines have nuanced relationships that deal with atypical problems.

u/AmmoSexualBulletkin

It's an interesting and unique setting made by a bunch of people from 4chan of all places. The romance isn't half bad and there is some great humor in it. Kenji is a bro when he isn't being absolutely hilarious. Also, Emi is best girl, save her for last.
