I'll say right off the bat that I genuinely enjoyed this visual novel even though I didn't expect anything at all from it and only knew of it for the fact that it is the mastermind behind DDLC. At first it was tedious and I just let my friend read the first five hours aloud to me (by the way, we read all the dialogs aloud and so the game lasted a very long time) and I returned to the story at the stage when the game took pity on us and presented a significant plot twist. After this key event, I squeezed in reading the novel and we started reading by role, which in my opinion made the characters a little more emotionally close to us, because the voices and emotions we put our own, even if they were silly and unprofessional. Also about the characters I want to mention a 2 out of 10 review from some random user on imdb "Yuutarou is a typical weirdo/pervert, he's quite boring." - Yuutarou is the best character in this novel who ONLY diluted the atmosphere of vanilla everyday life and became an idol for us. The climax of all the events was an emotional shake-up for us, as the disgusting scenes of intimacy were very annoying because the second one was not funny anymore. But after it I was surprised and realized at what point this game became the inspiration for the game from Team Salvato and the realization of what was going on was head and shoulders above what was in Doki Doki (but the drag for long hours in YOU and ME and HER is just killer). Overall this game left a lot of positive emotions that were spoiled only by the dragging in the beginning and the excessive amount of intimacy scenes that were necessary for the end of the game but that doesn't cancel the fact that it's disgusting.
