Kakenuke★Forward to Our Sparking Youth!

Again, what is with the exorbitant quantity of save slots? The game gives you a thousand by default and an apparent ability to add an unlimited additional quantity in ten slot increments. This is a VN with (as far as I'm aware) no actual game play.

Mechanically, VNs are essentially over glorified eBooks*. There's no need for the excessive number of save slots. Assume one save slot for every "Choice" the game gives you, and hand full more for "bookmarks", and a generous 30 more or so to flag out your favorite scenes. That is entirely unlikely to get into triple digits, yet they are given you four digits of save slots.

------------------

*I'm not trying to dis VNs, just stating an objective fact about their existence as software.

I'm not sure I'm going to be able to complete even the common route on this title as I'm already wanting to strangle all the heroines and I've barely begun the story. They have absolutely NO respect for the protagonists wants and interests, or the harsh practicalities of his living situation. It's all the heroine's wants and interests, the protagonist's right to chose for himself be dammed.

And it's not as if the protagonist is some week willed worthless individual with no spine, the story is just written as so he doesn't have an option of winning any arguments from the get go. If heroines really cared for him as they proclaim, they wouldn't be so extremely pushy. Sure they can invite him to join their club, but it's ultimately the protagonist's choice how he lives his life. The protagonist isn't breaking any laws or hurting anybody. The heroines don't get to decide the protagonist's life for him.

Finally, the RomCom aspect of the hero always getting accused of some sort of lechery is taken to an unbearable extreme. The heroines are being way to self absorbed, are constitutionally incapable of realizing something is an honest accident, or are constantly assuming the worst possible interpretation of events when there are a thousand and one other possible interpretations that are both benign and a billion times more likely to be the truth.

I honestly don't see how this type of story is popular.

General FYI: If you start this game on December 3rd (or have you computer's clock set to be December 3rd) you get a small Easter Egg on startup.

Based on the logic that specified December 3rd as such an Easter Egg, I suspect (but have not confirmed) there are also such Easter Eggs on:

January 8th

May 27th

June 18th

August 8th

October 13th

The logic I'm basing this on:

Do you guys have problem with the steam_api.dll? Because I can't delete or move it...

That's a new issue to me.

In general, the Windows OS will squawk at you if you try to manipulate a file that is currently in use. This is just a general guess based off of observed windows tendencies, but I would suggest doing this:

1.) Go into the Steam settings and make sure Steam does not auto-load on computer start.

2.) Close Steam outright. Make sure it isn't just minimized to the system tray.

3.) Restart your computer.

Hopefully, this will insure that the file is not "in-use". At this point, try deleting the file again (or whatever you were trying to do.)

As an excessive maneuver, not really recommended, you can also try uninstalling all your Steam games and then uninstalling Steam itself, but if the above didn't work, this likely won't either. It also comes with the hassle of having to re-install all your games later.

That is one seriously grammatically mangled sentence. I can't understand it.

My anti-virus (AVG) allow me mark files as exceptions so that they are not flagged. Can't you do the same in Bit Defender?

Sorry, I mean I close steam program then I can delete the steam_api.dll...

I look up my anti-virus and I find Manage Exceptions and I add steam_api.dll to list, and it stop pop up.

thanks for help
