A game with a cast of nice-looking characters but no voice acting is right out.

Still on his search for a mini of his liking, Inasuke is partnered with someone he didn't expect.
P.S: The writer does wonder why there seems to be a higher concentration of Gary Stus in this fandom than other pretty-boy female-targeted games.

Hm. You know, Inasuke likes cute and pretty things, like Strawberry Shortcake and Vil. And yet he keeps mocking Kaguya for being a "pretty boy" "easily mistaken for a woman." Are you sure he isn't jealous of Kaguya's relationship with Momoka? >.>
Oh, and a more actual question: what is the "(CV: Guririba Midorikawa Hikaru. I swear, this person is everywhere)" section of the CAD reading referencing? And what does "CV" stand for? I can't parse what it's saying there.

Voice actor, essentially.

I don't tend to think much about actors or voice actors, myself. In fact, I think I learn about them more from PPC missions than from actually consuming canon content in real life . . .

I believe giving due credit to voice actors is important. by

Just like actors in live action movies, voice actors play a very important role in giving characters an interesting, vivid and "true" personality - but often don't get considered as much as they're a name in the credits roll instead of a face we see during the entire thing.
Which is a shame - taking the latest anime I watched as an example, Chisato of Lycoris Recoil just wouldn't have been able to hit so much with the audience if it wasn't for her voice actress. True, her dialogue's writing and characterization were superb already, but it was Chika Anzai's energetic and peppy rendition that really secured the homerun.

I just look at fiction from a purely in-universe perspective. by

And I don't think, if we actually could portal into canons, that Sakura Kinomoto would sound like Sakura Tange, or that Indiana Jones would look like Harrison Ford. I know it's important to credit voice actors; I'm just not interested in the production elements of a story.

And bad voice acting can completely break the game. by

It was cool to get inside Ina’s head again. Though I seriously doubt that was the worst mission ever.

all of the images load in Chrome, but some don't in Microsoft Edge. Does anyone else have this problem? Do all the images load in your respective browsers?

On Edge and all images appear to be loading by

There's supposed to be four images, right? Because that's how many I'm seeing.
