The director doesn’t do anything but play pachinko, the writer is gone with no output, the programmer writes buggy spaghetti code, and the artist - the protagonist - is a newbie and can’t do anything until the writer comes out with something.

It’s an eroge about being an otaku, and is both absolutely hilarious and painful because it hits too close to home. There’s no revitalizing a wasteland or creating a legendary game - the protagonist and his company are a poorly managed maker in an oversaturated market with a deadline that they basically have no hope of meeting. Rakuen is an eroge about people making an eroge. But those are few, and the game ends before

I think the best part of the game is when Buntarou talks to other eroge writers there’s some good criticism of the current state of user-creator relationships and how the industry has changed. Also for how much was poured into advertising it, it’s a very rushed and incomplete work with entire routes that consist of a bunch of disjointed scenes over anything resembling a fluid story. It shies away from any legit drama and ends up being a really shallow work that doesn’t provide any unique insight into its primary topic. Kouya wants to talk about the waning eroge industry and how difficult it is to survive in it while being an all-ages story about a group of high schoolers making a hit porn game without any real roadblocks. I haven’t read Romeo’s most renowned works, but I did read Kentoma and it’s the exact opposite of Kouya in how it approaches its topic. Kouya feels to be about 90% Takahiro, being told in short comedic scenes with any drama being shallow and lasting for about 5 minutes before being revealed to be no big deal. I don’t dislike Takahiro as much as some others, but I’d have to agree that him and Romeo just don’t mix very well and neither do their core audiences. Yeah sure Kouya has Romeo’s text, but everything about it feels like Takahiro’s production. I had fun with Majikoi and all, but Takahiro’s project with Jackson (Anegin) was a disaster and his idea of having talented writers work on his projects frankly doesn’t work when he’s the one coming up with settings and characters and probably watching the writer’s every move. Ok, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration. Too bad it’s from Minatosoft and directed by Takahiro, because he ruins everything he touches. Romeo’s new work about a bunch of high school kids making an eroge, aiming to tackle the state of the industry by comparing it to a barren land. Kono Yo no Hate de Koi o Utau Shoujo YU-NO Rakuen ~the case of “never improve myself”~ I should do this more often because writing legit reviews is too much work and I have trouble writing about stuff I like.
