Re: Review: Raging Loop - A Gorgeous Visual Novel Cursed With Pacing Problems

Yeesh, this review is embarrassing. I don't understand why the reviewer speaks with such authority on the visual novel medium when they clearly don't have much experience with it. The bit about the "end of the initial playthrough" in particular makes me cringe. That's not how VNs work. If you've finished the ENTIRE thing, that's a playthrough. What you described is a route, and nobody in their right mind would expect everything to be explained in a single route. Heck, this VN even tells yous directly that there are three main routes in the little tutorial section.

Also, the pacing is pretty quick not just by VN standards (as they are admittedly a bit slow in general due industry trends), but by any medium's standards. Picked up an actual book recently?

It saddens me that people just want substance-less, easily consumable tripe. This is a novel, not a series of Twitter posts. Please approach it as such.
