This is a neutral review for the following reasons below.

This kinetic visual novel by 木子工坊 (Muzi Gongfang) and HongbinGame is a harem romantic comedy featuring a male university student Ah Dong (阿东)who has a crush on a fellow student Xue Yao (雪瑶)at his university. Ah Dong worked part-time to save up for a silver bracelet for Xue Yao where he planned to profess his feelings for her. However, when he saw a rich and capable suitor give her a much more expensive gift, he was disappointed and ran to seek refuge at a beach. At the beach, he caused a small accident where he is forced to do everything that is asked by a smart and resourceful girl Ah Jing (阿精).

The earlier release of this game didn't have the English version so I played the Chinese version. As a kinetic visual novel, it is a decent romantic comedy with a few interesting plot hooks and surprises which kept me reading the storyline all the way to the ending in over an hour, despite the lack of any CG, voice acting or song with vocals. Sadly, when I tried out the English version, it has too many translation errors which prevented me from recommending this game for my Steam group which mainly uses English as a result. This is quite a pity since the visual novel doesn't have any attractive CG, song with vocals, voice acting or animation. The game would need to rely on its plot and storyline, as well as the artwork sprites for every character including supporting characters as the main highlights of this visual novel.

In this visual novel where the reading time is approximately just right for its price, I hope this game can improve on the English translation and consider adding some CGs or extra side stories in future. Then I will feel more comfortable in recommending this game in future.

This is a bit better than its predecessor. In this case, it is a kinetic novel (no choices). Translation is still a bit sketchy, but better. Characters have a bit more to them. And the plot is also decent enough.

Not sure exactly which order these are supposed to be read in. They may not even be all that connected. But I went with the course of the seasons Spring - Summer - Fall - Winter.

Suggest waiting on discount or buying in the bundle.
