Yeah, I know what you're saying. I thought this was gonna be crap and full of stereotypes. Saya No Uta changed your perspective on the world, this changed your personal perspective. I'm glad I played Dra+Koi first.
That's the point. You're not going conventional. You're experiencing the turbulent beginning and end of one of the greatest romances, formed by mere coincidence but completely heartening. I think you're just too used to Grisaia's way-too-long prologue or Rewrite's Occult mode or something.
