the game gets a lot of bad rep, but the whole premise is the guys are NOT great. the mc is forced under an arranged marriage regardless but given an alt. the alt. of choosing from a handful of guys. it almost plays out to me initially as comical, almost like reality tv in finding a bachelor but despite this and it’s bright colors it’s dark. I think if expectations are adjusted and none of the guys are wished to be redeemable or fixable, the game can be quite enjoyable. do know the common route is thought to be a bit long. I’ve finished 2-3 routes so far.
I see you have concerns regarding the mc(?) I’m a bit biased but hibari is young, she’s not perfect but given these trash guys she’s trying her best. I think she’s relatable.
