God to start off, I genuinely love this VN and its characters. It’s hard to say who’s my favorite, as everyone has a story to tell and secrets to share. Lust Shards, even with so many NSFW scenes, doesn’t fall behind in its storytelling and fleshing out its characters.
Spoilers regarding the 4th path
I’ve very much already read all the paths you can take in Lust Shards 1.6, so I may have lied with having a hard time picking my favorites, but for now I’ll talk about the 4th path, which includes Therium’s, Alvy’s, and in the future, Scribble’s routes.
I love Scribbles, but it’s a bit cruel how Therium’s and Alvy’s routes are used to set up for him. I can very much see why a lot of people were upset after Alvy’s route.
I am curious (along with wishful thinking) if you’re going to maybe have routes to continue the two. From the looks of it, many people would love to have another chance with Alvy, while I may or may not like to see more of Therium. It would be cool to see if repeating a route even after a time loop would change something, but then again this is wishful thinking.
It is honestly a great visual novel, and I would love to see more of it in the future.
