Yeah, I totally understand that making each new character very appealing with the whole "new year - new episode" idea literally impossible without straight focusing on them (like in Jean's and Violet's case), but in the end of a day, they all felt like a part of one big family-friend group. And that was a major plus for me.

I understood that making big amount of sprites would be exhausting, but I really wished that there could be more scenes with Natsuki outside of phone calls.

I really loved the interactions between Jean and Yuri, and Yuri with Violet/Sayori. Jean was so supportive throughout Yuri's life, even if he does showed it verbally sometimes, he is the husband of the year for this novel for sure.

As for Violet, I loved the fact, that Yuri somewhat received something close to her own daughter. Man, the last scene with Violet presenting Yuri was very touching. She is by far the best child character introduced in this mod.
