Visual Novel Review: ツユチル・レター~海と栞に雨音を~
I finished this visual novel 2 days ago!

It was my first ever visual novel I finished! I had played some Danganronpa before but it wasn't voiced at all.

In terms of learning:
- They use small / simple sentences
- They often repeat themselves. An example dialogue in English would be:
You like apple pies?
Yeah, I like apple pies!
Wow! I like apple pies too
Very quickly you learn a bunch of words since it's repeated over and over again. I don't think I will ever forget 恋人同士 or 告白.
- Because it's slice of life, the vocab used is simple
- There is some crafting specific vocab / placenames, but you quickly pick it up
How long did it take me?
it took me around 130 hours to read this visual novel. This was my first time reading, so of course it'd take a while. I was averaging about 2000 characters an hour by the time I finished.
Story
The story revolves around a private girls school, all the girls write hand-written letters for each other.
One day a letter comes in that says something like "date this girl or your sister will die"
The visual novel is yuri slice of life, they are super gay and I love it.
They live/travel to Kamakura a lot, and they frequently go to streets / shops that kinda exist IRL. The girls eat Apple Pie a lot and this is in fact something that is popular in Kamakura.
Also, it ends on a cliffhanger. No, there is not a sequel.
The bad
The visual novel is voiced, but...
Only when they're speaking. Which isn't very often.
They will often think in their heads for ages, and then say something like えええー and then go back to thinking. That えええー is voiced, but the thinking isn't.
I kind of wish it was more voiced.
