Rather than the bland ecchi scenes you may see in Sakura Santa, Sakura Nova blesses your eyes with several scenes of full penetration and cumshots. Then again, he may have just been really caught off guard by how arbitrarily he was offered sex in the first place. The MC practically had the girls sign contracts in blood to confirm they wanted sex. Another thing I noticed was the amount of verbal consent. Surprisingly, the writing quality picks up here as well. Says the girl who used fire magic on a water sprite.Ĭompared to past Sakura games, the sex scenes have definitely improved. I couldn’t help but cringe when Kaguya, the sheltered, virgin aristocrat, offered her body as thanks to the MC just for letting her spend the night, but I died inside when she defeated a water monster with fire magic. If she did, one would expect her to at least leave the dangerous area where she was just attacked before getting her freak on. When a virgin girl just survived a monster attack, her next course of action is probably not going to be to fuck a person she met the day prior. Sakura Nova constantly challenges readers to remain invested in the story, but these sex scenes certainly don’t help matters. This brings me to the impossible suspension of disbelief.
Instead, the ill-fitting dialogue just catches you off-guard and breaks your immersion. There is no sexual tension, no build-up, just, “hey, let’s have sex.” I could forgive this incredibly cheesy dialogue if the main story wasn’t so drama-ridden.
While barely knowing the MC, they are the ones who initiate sex, and they do this in the same manner that a normal person would offer a guest a cup of coffee. The two girls are both virgins, but act nothing like what you might expect from a virgin. The character interactions are much better, but they still take queues from the porn story handbook. Instead, just serve the meat by itself and call it filet mignon. If a restaurant has the greatest tasting beef, and they decide to serve a tiny strip of it on a huge bun with a pound of lettuce, people will forget about the meat and only remember lettuce. Rather than offer its excellent visuals with a short and sweet story to guide the reader along, it makes you wade through endless, boring text to give the illusion that it’s offering something more robust. Being a visual novel, Sakura Nova has a ton of story. They are used as filler to connect one scene to the next. Porn stories are, at their worst, short and terrible. There is a very important reason why this is a bad idea: If you don’t have writers with the talent to create a riveting story, then you keep the story parts to a minimum to avoid boredom. Sakura Nova is a nukige delivered in an eroge visual novel format. They have little to no correlation with one another, and the order at which they occur is completely negligible.ĭon’t worry, this is completely normal. Story events seem to be just pieced together. From this point on, the plot stagnates and never picks back up. Like brainwashed cultists, they accept this idea as true with little resistance. The confusion is cleared up when their instructor arrives and explains how it’s alright for them to be half-naked around each other because they are a team, and teammates are like family. The game starts off with Hikage meeting his new teammates, Kaguya and Arisa, in a compromising situation. While Hikage is still a cadet, Zero’s lifelong mentoring has made him stronger than current Royal Knights. He’s actually the adopted son of the kingdom’s strongest knight, Zero. He’s not your cliche, talentless loser that normally stars in many VNs. Sakura Nova puts readers in the role of Hikage. This is never something you want a girl to ask. While it may sound like they’re finally getting their act together, there is most definitely room for some more improvement. Sakura Nova is a tad longer than the other Sakura titles, and that added length is due to an increased amount of sex scenes. For Sakura Nova, Winged Cloud appears to have taken some of that feedback to heart. Winged Cloud continues to garner infamy over its Sakura series, with bland characters, non-existent stories, and lack of actual sex scenes being the most common complaints. As long as people keep buying the series, they will most likely never change a thing.
Sakura Nova is yet another entry in Winged Cloud’s Sakura series.
