Beautiful art, great music, interesting story. I originally loved this, but then they introduced the option to buy things like the "best" choice dialogs in romance situations. From my understanding, it doesnt lock you out from the route or a happy end even if you dont pick any of them, which is nice, and I can understand using the extra scenes as incentive for money, but as other reviewers have pointed out - if you actually go through and buy everything, it comes up to a ridiculous number. It feels like an insult! If they release the option to just buy a route I might come back to it, but after all my progress was recently wiped somehow, I'm not going through it again.

I love this game so much. The storyline is amazing, the characters are amazing, I just- AAH!! My only problem is, like all the other reviews say, the need to pay for so many choices, and so much for each choice. Plus it's really hard to get coins, so by the time I have enough coins for a choice, I'm too scared to spend them because what if there's a better choice later on? Other than that one thing, this game is great! Please consider this coin issue and ways to fix it

This game is so lovely! I adore the characters and the story! My only issue is that the coin pricing is a bit too much. I actually ended up not playing the game for over a year out of frustration with the coins. I am fine with in game purchases as long as they are reasonably priced, but $2 for only 100 coins which wont even get you one descision? No can do. I understand you need to make money, but this is a bit much for the average player to pay.
