Love starts again

Sweet girls. But game is really buggy. Sometimes buttons don't work and after I played for a while and failed so many times on the girl I was focusing on, the game started looping the chapters, could not exit, sometimes couldn't quit game after credits. Could only go to next chapter if I went back to story tree and choose chapter from there but the love points would not carry over. I've seen this before and a reboot would solve it like an old game from the 80's yet made it almost impossible to beat like memory in you pc was drained to nothing called a memory leak then crash. That game never got fixed either. So you would just finally give up on the game even though it was fun. So I have to say not good unless they fix this.

[/list] [b]📖 Additional Narrative Highlights[/b] [list] [*]Each heroine’s route explores different emotional tones—reserved, playful, rational, introverted, expressive, and bold. [*]Fantasy achievements reflect imagined versions of each heroine, unlocked through high favorability. [*]Message choices subtly shape affection, making timing and tone as important as content. [*]Final chapter leads to a quiet climax, where love returns not with fanfare, but with certainty. [*]The game rewards empathy and patience—every ending is earned, not given. [/list] [b]So[/b]: A gentle and emotionally resonant FMV experience — *Love Starts Again / 恋爱再重启* invites players to listen, choose, and feel. With six distinct heroines and a favorability system that rewards quiet understanding, this game is more than a romance—it’s a reflection on how love begins again. Recommended for players who value emotional storytelling, layered choices, and soft endings that linger.

do not recommend as game is buggy with achs, still waiting for devs to fix before i can complete the game.

First JP FMV I played, and I think it's pretty decent. Before I wrote this review, I decided to finish my 1st playthrough first. (I choose Yuki btw) So, what I like about this FMV? - Story is interesting (time-leap. I'm a sucker for a time travelling story) - All of the characters are amazing. - No Fanservice - The controls are responsive What I think that needs to be improved for future JP FMV: - The story is interesting but somehow it lacks depth (I don't know if it's just me or the fact that it's just my 1st playthrough. However, when I compare this to Chinese FMVs like Love is All Around or Such A Guy, the story depth can already be felt even in just the 1st playthrough) - it lacks a memorable BGM or theme song. (I think these helps makes the FMV more engaging) - The UI font are not consistent - The video quality seems to be low Personally, this is a great start for a decent JP FMV. I would love to see JP FMV in the future since this helps me also practice/learn my japanese. Hopefully, they'll produce awesome stories like Love is All Around or Such A Guy. Good Work Devs!

本編でヒロイン全員からアタックされ、ハーレム系のギャルゲねって感じで余裕をかましてたらクライマックスで全員にふられました。なんでギャルゲでこんな思いしなあかんのですかくそげーくそげーくそげーくそげーくそげーくそげーくそげーくそげーくそげーくそげーくそげーくそげーくそげーくそげーくそげーくそげーくそげーくそげーくそげーくそげーくそげーくそげーくそげーくそげーくそげーくそげーくそげーくそげーくそげーくそげーくそげーくそげーくそげーくそげーくそげーくそげーくそげーくそげー

This game is incredibly frustrating. The achievements are full of bugs, and some of them seem nearly impossible to unlock. I’d strongly advise perfectionists and achievement hunters to stay away from this game.

love it but buggy 7/10
