Finished Kisaragi Goldstar. Uhm, ... I'm a bit at loss of words. Saya: The first half up to h-scene one were fine enough, but the latter half once the supernatural element appeared (or rather re-appeared?) was for me somehow a headache. Koutarou was probably the most annoying jerk-ish character of her route and he should have gotten the crap beaten out of him. Even the "final stage" of her route wasn't tha appealing, but I loved the flashback between Futami-tachi and Saya's first encounter.
Overall: A somehow wobbly start of the VN, but I guess if all routes are based around some supernatural element, I know what to expect. Especically that some of the potential mystery element for Ichika was already foreshadowed. So that's good in hindsight.
After completing it, I would still say to have generally enjoyed the ride. Some annoying/too drama-esque aspects, but nothing really outrageous. I liked the soundtrack during the mystery/supernatural elements. The side character route were similar as with Dolphin Diver very short. I think the longest route would have been Tori's feeling-wise.
From the other characters: I like the teacher and Ririko.

Spoiler for True End:

Favorite route order: Tsubasa > Ichika-chan (her dere-dere side <3) > Mikoto > Saya. Mikoto here not as the second worst route, but as the solid middle.
From the side character's I only really liked Nanako.
Obviously due to the heavy rabu-rabu and icha-icha I loved Tsubasa's route. Mild drama + *awww* and smiling-scenes. Here again, Ichika's plot-part occured differently than I thought it would, but in the long run I was okay with it.

Spoiler for True End: The true end, despite giving a final conclusion to the MC's dream and such, felt somehow missing something. When it ended with girl-of-choice welcoming him home and end I was like "Huh? That's all?" Again, it was nice that the MC could reconcile with his mother and decided to follow his dream. Ignoring this, I was actually expecting that the true roue would touch upon the "battes happening at the moon", hence why Saya said she had to return -> to support(?) her people, but that's not meant as a complaint . Maybe I just misuderstood it. Favorite route order: Tsubasa > Ichika-chan (her dere-dere side <3) > Mikoto > Saya. Mikoto here not as the second worst route, but as the solid middle.
