I honestly don't get the hype of it. I'm not saying it's bad, it's really well polished, but I hated the writing with such a passion I couldn't get into it. I know the whole point was to make it very standard dating sim and trope-y, but the protagonist is a piece of shit. And thirsty as fuck. All the girls are bouncing on his dick from the first day for no reason. I know this is -the point- but I hated it.
When it got to the ending(s) the dialogue was extremely cringy for me (Especially during Sayori's initial suicide). I feel like I could've actually liked the game if the dev had hired an actual writer, like they did with the art, instead of writing it themselves, since most of my dislike came from the horrible writing. Most of the club meetings & classroom scenes were fine (except for the protagonists inner monologue of "LOL MY MOTIVES I JUST WANT THE PUSS PUSS ") but at any point it tried to invoke emotion it fell flat.
