A long time ago, unknown beings known as Kotona invaded Earth in search of food. Humans were unable to repel them until after a few years, some people gained special abilities known as ‘douryoku’ which allowed them to exterminate the Kotona and return peace to the world.
Now, Seiichi attends the super-elite Kashinomori Academy which trains people with douryoku in preparation for another attack by the Kotona. However, even though he has great power, he doesn’t have the ability to manifest it, leading to him being labeled as ‘most useless one’. The rest of the students in his class all had great skill, but in particular one girl caught his attention. Akane had average powers even though she came from a distinguished family, so she trained hard daily to improve her skills. Watching her, he can’t help but want to help her and that was when his ‘Amplifier’ ability awakened. It is an unidentified power which greatly boosts the abilities of people who believe in one another. As a result, he was greatly sought after not only in the school, but in the world.

Well, MC power is lame, but it isn't useless :V
Just finished the game. Had to skip a lot of useless text(There is A LOT ). Story sucks major ass. Main character, as expected, is a complete wuss. Writter was extremely uninspired and even borderline lazy when creating the vast majority of this VN.
Gotta give it a 2/10. Maybe 3/10 because the Artwork is actually good... No, gotta go with a 2. Because this is far from a good story, it feels more like something to make useless peopple feel like they matter and make a difference.
And what impressed me the most: Lilith rapefest nukiges like Taimanin series actually have deeper plots and more story than this game that is actually WAY longer and bigger in overall size.
When a Nukige does a better job at telling an story than a VN that is supposed to be all about story plot and characters, then you know how low is the level of this garbage.
Cheers!
I only played one single route: Akane
She was the girl who appealed to me the most. After sitting through that, I don't have the motivation to play the other girls routes...
but mostly, the characters only get worse on routes passed akane. I thought they weren't too bad in the beginning but...no. The MC actually gets worse than he was in the beginning...in fact they ALL get worse to make some sort of minor drama that...makes no sense. Its literally event>to next event thats unrelated> to next unrelated event to a conclusion thats just absurd. Art/UI: Good. Can it save the game? no.
Once im done with this gonna wait for FAn Disc of this called Koiken Otome ~Revive~
Rating: 8/10
Conditions for rating:
-Player must skip over all fighting scenes without reading.
-Player must only play Touko route.
-Player must have decent tolerance for minor chuunibyou.
-Player must like Touko as a heroine.
The bad:
-The fighting scenes are the worst and most unrealistic I've ever seen.
-The H scenes come waaaay too early.
-The game ignores common sense in some of its world-building and plot developments.
-The chuunibyou.
The good:
-The characters are likable.
-At least one route (Touko's) focused only on the relationship and character development, with no fighting or chuunibyou. THANK GOD.
-The interface is very well-made; someone put a LOT of effort into the graphics.
If you're not a teenager yourself then it is not recommended that you read this, since you'll most likely find yourself wanting to murder all of the characters (especially the red haired one) for their stupidity. On the other hand if you are a teen yourself, then you'll probably enjoy it.
In case you're wondering, the characters are so memorable, that I can't recall any of their names.
Final rating: Story-2; OST-6; VA-8.5; Art-8.5
Overall: 4/10 (It is still a "book", so story counts heavily.)
This would've been better if it was released 8-10 years ago when this kind of story was still relatively new, but nowadays it's just another drop in the already full bucket of water.
Gotta say... that menu music and animated UI tho. The writing may be shit but the game itself sure seems polished as hell.
Atleast make it that he can protect himself alone..
Only the game does not feature any of the above, accept for the sub-par special abilities. If you are looking for a good time i suggest you guys try artificial academy 2. XD
Story: 3/10 - I only played the Akane route, and so much of the text is repetitive. So much time is dedicated to the characters praising or apologizing to each other. I disagree that the main character is a wimp, but I found the constant 'you are useless losers' being said, but never having the proper pay off of defeating them. Honestly the Austin (the blonde tsundere one) girl would have made a better villain than heroine.
The plot is just... so hacked together. First the inter school championship with no real pay-off. Then some mystery macguffin power-up device, that turns up and then a hostage situation that gets resolved with no real meaning or relevance. Then Akane and the Sucessor thing that just reeks of the 'power of love' stuff that is irritating.
Sound: 7/10 - It was OK. The music was actually kinda cool. The battle sound effects were meh. The H-Scene sounds were voice only.
Graphics: 5/10 - Pretty average. Battle scenes were limited. The sprites were pretty bad and at one point the Guardians were just color shifted copies all with small beards... but one was a woman.
Characters: 6/10 - Akane, Touko and Yuzu were pretty standard fare characters. The character of Austin as I said... was just irritating for me... I'm sure on her route she turns plenty nice but listening to her on the Akane play-thru just annoyed me enough not to want to.
Overall: 5/10
The characters are memorable -- for how obnoxiously stupid they act. The plot makes no sense throughout some parts of the game. Some scenes are pointless. Characters spend too much time praising each other; it's like this writer doesn't have enough confidence in them for the aspects of their personalities be displayed naturally. "OH YUZU CHAN YOU CAN COOK SO WELL, YOU'D MAKE THE PERFECT SPOUSE". This HAS to be written for functional illiterates.
Some people are praising other aspects, such as the UI, sound and art.
-> I do not play eroge for the UI, and neither do you.
-> The music is bland and H scenes are voice only.
-> The art lies below mediocre. Take this with a grain of salt, because my standards are pretty high since I'm a fan of Tony Taka's work. Why doesn't the eroge he's drawn to get translated? I'm looking at Fault! right now. 3 years of work put to translate THIS? I'm sure there's better eroge out there that can please the weeaboo audience in need of translating.
However, one should also judge work for what it was INTENDED to be. This was intended to please a specific demographic. If you're a functionally illiterate weeaboo, on your teens, you might enjoy this.
SAY missing subs. "Voice-Only" means no visuals either ..
Only the UI is pretty.
i downloaded this game three times, and only the third time was there no corrupted files. it keeps freezing on maybe the third practice session when akane is helping seiichi with swinging. a couple black boxes with yellow text in them will appear in the top left portion of the screen, and the game freezes. i can exit and go back to the title screen, but it freezes whenever i get to that point. i have my applocale set to japan, i've tried changing the font in the text adjustment screen, and nothing i've done has helped. I really do not want to download it again, i've got the free version and 22 downloads takes forever.
I may be one of the few here that doesn't mind the MC's buffing powers but even I can agree it was executed horribly. If all it takes is physical contanct then realistically it should have been discovered much earlier. I'm sure kids would use their powers during play and MC could tag them or something causing an accident which could give MC some issues had they wanted to try to make him interesting instead of a generic two-dimensional good guy who also has this super speshul power no one else has. Yeah, him discovering his powers while protecting Akane is sweet and all but it doesn't make sense when you think about it. The whole tournament thing should have been saved for Akane's or Yves' routes.
Another thing that disappointed me is that even though it seems like the game wants you to pair up with Akane during the first few hours, she has the weakest route while I found Yuzu's route to be the best. Found that to be odd as I usually dislike the childhood friend cliche. Says a lot about this when the type of route I usually don't care for is the "best". Also it seems like there was going to be a Minato route, but it seems the creators ran out of time.
I love a "pick your favorite" eroge as much as the next guy but I wish there was more thought put into Koiken Otome. Best thing I can say is that the art and character design is superb and the intro song is nice. I give it a 4/10, read if you have absolutely nothing better to do or just want to fap.
If you're rating this 4/10 because you were missing additional 50hours of world building and SoL then you probably won't have fun with this hobby for very long.
The story elements in VNs are an excuse, a front. At the end of the day it's simply porn.
If that's not enough for you, go read a real book.
I heard rumors of ppl meeting flesh and blood females in Libraries. Maybe that's your path.
TLDRXSND: MC who bangx his loved one, noice. Rito shit MC, bad.
