  It's kind of short, and seems to be just setting up for Book Two. Book one feels more like a teaser than anything. The devs put a lot of thought into their creative decisions, I haven't felt dissatisfied with anything they've done so far, so I'm going to trust them on how they've chosen to release Hikaru's story. However, if you're someone who has trouble being patient then I would recommend waiting until the full route is available. Still, it's a beautiful game with an interesting plot. I enjoyed revisiting the characters at least. [spoiler] Galinn's true identity is revealed and I admit I scremb'd a bit. [/spoiler]

  Hikaru’s story is finally here, and it seems longer than the previous routes since they had to split his story in two parts. Book I felt short to me tho, in terms of interaction with Hikaru himself. [spoiler]Sure, there’s the “revisiting” the other characters routes, but still…[/spoiler] We get to know new characters too [spoiler]and Galinn’s true identity. I swear I did NOT see that coming lol[/spoiler]. Book I left a lot of unanswered questions, it ends very suddenly. I really recommend getting Book II (which is out by now) at the same time, so you won’t get (too much) frustrated by the lack of answers. [spoiler]Also, I loved that Tsubasa got to chose which "song" would be playing. I died at the "sad song because Hikaru" sort of choice. lol[/spoiler]

  This was probably my least desirable character (idk why), but I still enjoyed every moment.

  !!!DONT PLAY THIS ROUTE FIRST IT HAS SPOILERS FOR THE OTHERS!!!! This game is one of the best I've found in a while and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who enjoys visual novels and otome games. There are not enough around in my opinion and this one is worth the investment of money and time. I adore the characters and the hugely complex world of this game, it pulls on the heart-strings and leaves you wanting more. PROS: - The routes are all separate with completely different stories~! - You don't have to play all of the routes if you don't want to. - The sprites, BGs and CGs are GORGEOUS - The music is really really lovely! - World is expansive and so much world building - Characters are well thought out and interesting - 3 Good Ends and 3 Bad Ends. - QUALITY CONS: - The format is a little unusual and potentially confusing for buyers (which is why so many reviews are complaints that the game isn't free). The demo is free but you need to buy the guy's route separately and it downloads into the same game giving you access to it, Hikaru's route is in two parts, and for all the routes you also need to separately buy the epilogues. - May feel pricey because you're buying the bits separately but really isn't.

  [h1]The destined big conclusion to the game! (or is it? :P) [/h1] No but seriously, it feels great if you played the other routes before and it actually gives the game one last punch! [h1]--if you are unsure if you want to buy book 1 AND 2 [/h1] (wich you probably should as they have a continues storyline. [b]Book 1 has NO climax or ending[/b] really) [b][u]please check out my review on book 2[/u][/b] where i adress the negative points indepth. Sadly the second book is the part where all the issues really come to play. [h1]Game overall: [/h1] - CS were good but i would have hoped for more (or i'm used to get more of them in other VN/Otome). -> the music loops seem to be a lot better in Hikarus playthrough. maybe bc he got some new tracks too. anyhow its not a negative point anymore! yay! + Other that that the game is unusually polished + i personally enjoyed a more western/realistic artstyle for once + and the writing was good (both in grammar AND storytelling) + the maincharacter is normal, in a GOOD way. She reacts grumpy when someone is rude, shes flustered if its the situation but shes not overly anything. The writing conveyed a fully fleshed charcter wich you shape with your reaktions one by one. I really enjoyed seeing this instead of one blunt character! (-? some of the options feel a bit wierd in how he reacts. Like some of tehm make sense later on / in retrospective but not all of them - its a really tiny problem tho) [h1]This particular Route: [/h1] ++ Amazing idea to put all routes together - i loved it! Eventhough i had hoped we would kinda get pay off for actually playing them (i.e. the choises be linked to the story, that you had to know what was "the right choice" to pick) but thats nagging on high niveau! + likewise it feels like on big show down after the first few chapters, wich is really exciting as this is the last released route and kinda the climax of the game over all (well if you leave out the amazing chaos route wich you should play AFTER book 2!) + hikaru might be my fav character yet (even tho he seems a bit ill treated is his own routes (more on that futrher below and on book 2 review) - regarding personal time or like relationship devolopment you have hardly any with hikaru (or even ANY). I get that we learn a lot about him (well more about the divine realm rather) and we kinda get closer to him - but not in a romantic way actually. it cann all be very well seen absolutely firendly/platonic (wich makes book 2's [spoiler]"were destined for each other"[/spoiler] really forced ... wich is really sad!)

  If you bought this DLC hoping to really get to know Hikaru and for romance to blossom like I did, then don't buy it. You're stuck with an annoying and illogical antagonist the entire book instead. The story had some cool moments and twists but it was so action packed that there was zero room for any one-on-one time with Hikaru. And it's main purpose seems to be to set up Book 2. Thankfully book 1 was cheap so the regret of purchasing it isn't as severe.
