Stories that left you disappointed for a reason

I feel like I need to defend my man Chase here
He's just a fascinating character and I do understand how people might get sick of him but even if you don't romance him, he's a great friend nonetheless and always at your side. And if you're romancing any other RO he even teases you and pushes you in their direction.

And yes completely agree that the male ROs in shoh have a greater preference than the female ROs. It seems very obvious when you play and compare the routes.

I think the worst is poor Sherry and Riel have so few romantic scenes with MC until the latter half of your journey that I feel is just unfair...

As a Chase lover, I also love and adore Trouble and Red routes. I'm always confused which route to take because they're both so fun when you romance them, they seem to be a bit matured and lighter than the Blade and Chase routes when comparing their stories. ( Not that much of a fan of Blade, fed up of the closed off character have to say but I can see the appeal)
True enough if you go through the author's Tumblr, it's very clear that Blade is her fav RO.

Man I just love Chase though, I think it's the flirty characters that do it for me.

Not a specific story, but rather a... twist? Plot? That is starting to annoy me.
When there are two sides, except it turns out the bad guys are actually good, just misunderstood or forced into evil or just plain discriminated against, while the good guys are bigoted, self-righteous, and just not good at all. It might have been a clever deconstruction once, but by now I feel that it itself deserves a deconstruction...

The remake demo of Summer of Love really did disappointed me, now the characters and the protag feel overly smart and observant to me, making me feel kinda dumb and slow to follow them. The dialogues and writing feel way too deep for a first day impressions, in my opinion. I miss the older version because it felt laid-back and suave, not... this.

I feel bad for the author as she's had a lot of accusations of using AI, when she adamantly saying she doesn't and I tend to believe her reading some of the questions she's had. Tho I do agree, if feels very inflated? Like we're just plying on, I feel we're so observant that there is no MC or freedom of thoughts. It's all been told to you.

Ok finally got to reading na daoine maithe and boy am i disappointed...

Ive been following this game for years tbh, Book 1 was okay (demo right?) but getting to routes? Boooooo

I went with Maeve...apparently you *need* to read all the routes to get the proper story which is...im not reading that.lol Thats a very stupid and frustrating way to present a story. i finished this route with absolutely no answers or knowledge about the mc and their origins + a half assed relationship in which the mc was nothing more than a voyeur.. a simpering idiot one at that... This is where its annoying to read tumblr asks because its a whole different story there

single most annoying experience. I want my money back and i didnt even pay (thank god)

Was already turned off when i learned they gonna release it by characters.

I wonder if it's gonna be like Alaris - you won't learn the whole story unless you do every route(or at least the last two) and romances were so boring. Only Fae routes were kind of better, but still felt like i was eating plain bread. The most interesting part of the whole VN was to learn about mc's heritage, cause after reading everything i don't really remember any of the characters just their archetypes. And don't get me started on characters sprites, that was the most "same face syndrome" i ever encountered and i rarely ever criticize art in vn's.
