Completed Shining Song Starnova #visualNovel today. It had six stories of #Jpop idol group members struggling on the path to fame… to unlock the seventh’s, canonical one which I just completed.

Overall, I liked the game (and spent like 15 hours on it total)—the story is engaging (and quite dark at times,) the characters relatively well-written, overall feeling is sticking well. I have some minor complaints only: NSFW elements (unlockable via DLC) are mostly a detriment to the plot, no idea why they added them; requirement to complete six routes to get to the main one is somewhat extra; and it gives one too little choice to mess things up. I liked the wrong choice endings though!

So yeah, recommended if you have too much free time and are looking for a well-written visual novel with a moderate amount of fan service.
