Let's not stay Friends

Before I say anything, I have to get it this pun off my chest, after all, puns summon the best visual novel character ever! (oops, wrong game…spoilerz??) Anyway, it did not escape my attention that the guy who gets friend-zoned the hardest in the entire game (except for his good endings obviously) is named “Frenz.” That was exciting to put on paper!!! Phew.

When I bought this game, I read it involved battle mages and fantastic amulets and I thought I’d get a good story out of that. But I should have known, “let’s not stay friends,” or, “two jocks and a nerd walk into a ba…I mean forest” (a great beginning of a joke, as well as a better title, no?) is Russian for “how to get laid in a magical school.” However, while I tend to get annoyed at a lack of deep storyline, I begrudgingly admit I had fun due to the clever dynamic of the extremely well developed characters - and the chibi art expressions are adorbs! In the third storyline, the three guys and the MC embark on their little excursion together (the first two storylines just follow the first two guys individually), and shenanigans ensue. I laughed a lot, and that made the time spent well worth it.
