This story takes place in an alternative future of Shanghai where money and power ruled the city. Mafia groups hired Kung Fu masters and dominated in society. There are two types of Kung Fu masters, those who mastered their internal qi, and those who mastered their physical skills. The qi masters are able to output a stronger energy coming from their life itself, but it took a long time to master it. It was easier to just train their physical skills, but there was a limit to how strong a human body can be. So there were a balance of many average physical skill masters and few strong qi masters. However that balance broke when cybernetics came into play. Kung Fu masters would replace their body with robotic parts and attain a strength that a normal human can never achieve. That’s how no one tried to become qi masters anymore when they can easily become powerful by using cybernetics, and qi masters decreased in numbers. The main character of the story Kong Taoluo used to be a loyal assassin of the mafia group, but one day his sister was raped by his friend Liu Haojun and his companions, then they had her undergo an operation. Taoluo was also rumored to be killed, but he returned to city of Shanghai to avenge his sister.

If you follow the readme file (or the comments on here) it's pretty easy to set up.
Keep in Mind:
There IS music and sound effects, but there is NO voice acting, so don't worry if you don't hear that.
There also isn't a Main Menu in the English version, it just gets straight into the game. Don't worry about that either.
If your game starts to Freeze/Crash a lot, it's actually EASY to do a permanent fix. The Saya game engine for Kikokugai often freezes when it tries to play .wav sound files, but it works perfectly when playing .mp3 files.
Download a free batch Audio File converter. Take all the .wav files in the Sound folder and convert them to .mp3, the game should run perfectly after that.
So far it's a great story, I definitely recommend this VN.
And what about the scripts? Have to extract them?
I just came here to write that the last chapter, the one where everything is supposed to be revealed, is such garbage that it makes this otherwise anime story into an utter time waster.
Spoilers ahead:
Turns out that the sister felt romantic feelings for her brother and him not noticing it made her suffer so much, that she didn't feel anything for her husband, who is better at everything than her idiot brother. Her incestuous desire is the backbone of this whole plot. The epilogue was so fucking cliche and disappointing that I skipped through the text straight to the credits.
I'm most disappointed by how immature the antagonist acted. "Oh, she loves her brother and I always knew it. Let me marry her anyway. Darn, she still doesn't love me. Hmmm, I could divorce her and take it like a man, the world is full of even better girls I could find if I looked...OR...I could orchestrate a gang rape, that she wants, so she can feel better for not being loved back by her brother, then separate her soul through torture in 5 pieces, and implant each piece in a sex doll that will be abused in all ways, for the rest existence! Genius!" Whoever wrote this garbage plot should never write a story again.
