I personally don’t have an issue with this, but it may be a turn off for otome fans who are looking for…Music also always nice and atmospheric, nearly always fitted the scences very well it complimented the reading experience.Replayability is also there if this is important to certain people, but I overall liked the ending of my story, so even…The characters are hilarious and each one of them has their own unique personality.Why it fits
Check it if you want casual filtered by single-player.
