Speaking of trial. I also played the trial of Futsuno Fantasy and I loved the setting of "how to make fun of old school rpgs" in it and basically turned the whole idea around so that it centeres around the Maou wanting to live despite the prophecy saying "You are going to be defeated by the heroine and her team no matter what" Funny how so many clichés are being used: Taking the stuff found in lockers, NPCs with the same dialogue one-liner, "immortal" yuusha, etc
The comedy certainly appealed to me.

Edit:
Finished Futsuno Fantasy 1. I loved it even though it used every cliché of rpgs it could muster. Obviously, the corny moments didn't bother me either. Jade's change of mind at the end, during the final battle, was nice and his VA during that part + the final boss theme were quite cool. His whole tsukkomi act during the journey was funny because he questioned and went "WTF" on each roleplaying "rule" A nice welcome was that all h-scenes were optional, but I think at least the scene of heroine is required to get for choosing the girl-of-choice's route in part II.

And~ Hatsukoi 1/1
Long drawn-out drama once it appears, but fortunately not each was untolerably bad.
Midori: Yuuma and her rabu-rabu moments were sweetness incarnated and very needed before her drama started which hit the main lead like a truck with full speed. For sure, I could feel for Midori's quite heavy regret, self-loathing and pain she had to endure. 'Nuff said both deserved their happy end without a doubt.
Yukino: I didn't expect that the VN used a koibito-gokko scenario as one of the pre-confession anxieties and I only encounterd such a scenario once (which was painful to "read"). Furthermore the usual lack of awareness of the MC that childhoodfriend relationship can also lead to going out with eachother made it more annyoing than it could have been maybe. But, here as well their rabu-rabu time was sweet and nedded because drama #2 showed up after it was forshadowed. To be fair it wasn't too bad, but felt like Midori's drama too long, i. e. until the last stretch of the route . Fortunately, the MC had supportive friends or else he would still be doomed in that regard.
Still on-going: Kyou -> Pre-confession drama felt the most unneeded or rather too forced than it did any "good".
