I was also one of those people who found the common route to be wAAYYYY too long, but that’s probably because I was expecting to get to a route already at that time. XD
But reading through some of it again is lots of fun. I love the giant spicy parfait scene, I love the overreacting Kotori moments (President Chair!), I love Shizuru’s personality here (DEKIRUYO), I love Lucia’s cursing, and I especially love all the Yoshino moments. His moments are mostly hilarious af, but he’s not really stupid. Just really cheesy way of speaking haha. he’s best girl
When it comes to the girls, it’s Kotori>Shizuru>Chihaya=Lucia>Akane (ironic considering my avatar pic) for me, but I really like all of them, and they had their moments in the common route. I can’t possibly dislike Akane when her voice is wayyyy too sexy (Youkoso Gypsy), her degrading insults are the best, and she seriously recorded Yoshino’s cursing, sampled it, and turned it into some hip-hop remix track. XD
Then, there’s Lucia. Her screaming voice is precious. My personal favorite line from Lucia is definitely “Die, decompose, fertilize some plants and help them lower CO2 levels!” I also love Chihaya for her adorable-ness and general low-key Tsundere tendencies. Shizuru is wayyyy too adorable to not love, while Kotori is just lots of fun to be with.
BTW, since no one has brought it up yet: Okay~ Shake it now baby noww~
