Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
If you are trying to play the game versus follow every wiki-ish link in existence (of which there are many and more on that later) then you will likely never see another of the boasted numerous characters portraits or sprites at all...get ready for wall of texts with very little in game art to break it up!
84 of 254 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Many of these backgrounds don't actually affect gameplay except in the adventures tied with them and the stats you get from the background.

Graphics

If you like visual novels and dating games with pretty graphics and pretty people, this is not for you.
