The cover art is really nice and eye-catching. However, the description for the story is not great at all. It’s not really that interesting nor does it pull in a potential reader. I probably wouldn’t have read the story if I found this simply by browsing since the description is so lackluster. You need something to reel in potential readers
About the story:
Things I liked
I like that you are given plenty of opportunity to customize the appearance of things in case you messed up
I think the end credits and dialogue options are clever, but It would break the immersion for binge readers (depends on your preference I suppose)
The characters are engaging, but some of the relationship between some of the characters are hard to keep up with (might just be my slow brain tbh).
The mini-games are engaging and pretty cool
I find it wonderful that you explain some terms to people, such as myself, who do not understand the car racing sport.
Things I disliked
(Spoiler) the portion about the royal family (something like that…) feels so incredibly out of place and bizarre when compared to the story’s main focus (racing) However, I will say that the mystery element is engaging nonetheless, but it didn’t make much sense to why it was there
The story has a strange fluency and it didn’t feel like things flowed naturally from one scene to the next.
Would I recommend this story to others?
Sure, I would recommend this story to other people if they were interested in a racing story with some romance and tackling of some deeper issues such as gender equality.
Errors
-Sometimes the transitions, such as the pinwheel doesn’t work how it should and it looks very weird. I’m not really sure how you would fix this, since I personally use fading out transitions
-There are times where the character will be talking when they aren’t. This happens when you use a loop animation, so remember to add an idle after a loop talking animation.
-Could just be a me issue, but that dad wasn’t there in the chapter 2 flashback
-Spot bubble placements could use some work, they dont always look great
-No music in chapter 2, not sure if this was intentional or not
Finally…
Overall thoughts on the story
So far I do enjoy the story. While the plot may be a bit scattered, the characters are interesting and the mystery keeps me wanting to read some more. Will I read more? Probably! Even with the minor errors, it is a pretty good story so far.
Extra Note
Some of chapter 2 feels rushed and sloppy, and there is a pretty big quality difference from chapter 1 and chapter 2, it’s very clear you spent more time on chapter 1.

I’m currently on Episode 2, so if it is constantly changing, that is why.
The cover art is really eye catching, and the description easily reels in a potential reader by leaving them wanting to know more about what’s to come of Vera’s future. Overall, great quality!
About the story:
Things I liked
The camera zooms, spotting and all of that are amazingly done! I really admire the amount of effort you put into the advanced directing
The overlays are lovely! They’re super cute and also helpful for letting you know when you gained or lost a character point. Plus the little cute soud effect is great too
The main character is very likeable
The interactions between characters feel engaging and I like that most of the choices feel like they have weight and impact your relationship with others.
The plot flows very naturally! I find that I don’t get confused at all and everything is easy to follow along with.
Things I disliked
The chapters are pretty short I wish they would be longer.
While I do love the MC, a lot of other characters are Mary sues and don’t seem as interesting. I would love to see it shaken up a bit and have some realism or at least not so perfect characters introduced (for example: a character had bad grades and is only attending because they pay off the principal or what not)
The interactions between the mom and the MC feel kind of plain
Would I recommend this story to others?
Hell yeah! It’s a great story for anyone looking for a simple high school drama that was made with care to be it’s most polished self.
Errors
Sometimes the speechbubbles are in weird positions
Finally…
Overall thoughts on the story
It’s a fantastic story in my eyes and it’s clear that a lot of work went into making it, I’m honestly surprised it doesn’t have more reads. I know for a FACT, I will be reading more of the story! The plot is decently engaging, flows naturally, the characters are likable, and it feels like the choices actually have some impact! I look forward to future chapters.
