Honestly it almost feels like we're already nearing the end. I like how the story is unfolding, Aileens's a fun character, actually pretty proactive. The plot of the Claude route in the game actually sounds like the swiss cheese of plot holes schlock I'd expect from a dating sim, nice to see it openly called out, the "everyone lived happily ever after" in so many of those stories is total BS if you think about it, like the typical otome thing of having the prince renounce his fiance for some commoner girl, happily ever after? the political fuckfest that would cause is far from happy.
