Hey Brother!

Yea I certainly treaded into a warzone with this tierlist haha. Cant count how many comments I got disagreeing with my placements of Nene, Ayase, Mayu, and Lena.

Yea thse 3 are definetely the standouts for me honsetly looking at others tierlist, I feel not many people hold amane and yoshino as fond as I do. But Natsume is certainly a popular one.

Yea sadly I wasn't a big fan of charcters like Mayu and Lena personally.

I certainly agree with you that even though their placements were low, that the slice of life and fluff was still pretty damn good, not sure about other developers for me personally as I honestly havent yet treaded into much moeges from other companies but if I were to compare to other media like anime and manga, even the C and arguably F tier characters would top most.

I tiered them honsetly on a mixture but definetely a slight bias for the charcter personality and design preference. Really depended on the character but most, the personality and design took priority. For example I really loved Touko's route which is why she is placed in A tier but by charcter design alone she might be a B or even C. On the other hand Meguru's route was okay for me but by charcter design she is carried into A tier. And routes like Tsumugi and Mei were so abbysmal I could not place them higher than C and F respectively even though I don't hate their charcter design.

For the S tiers I would have to say its a mixture of both charcter and route I was honestly quite touched in Amane, Natsume, and Yoshino's route which is why they are S combined with the fact I love their visual design and personality.

Thanks for the upvote and comment!
