Playing an RPG in a Jujutsu Otome Game

Also known as:

What should I do about the new student/classmate/neighbor who keeps throwing balls at me?

What should players do when they line up the cursed spirits they've collected and pet each one on the head?

Heard the test version was out and downloaded it right away. I played it today, and it's so different from when I was a kid. The worldbuilding has completely changed. The description is way too vague. It's hard to understand (like Fly Heads). And you can't name the spirits yourself. Three stars for nostalgia.

[Player Saotome] ★★☆ ☆ ☆

Why can't I catch this spirit called Satoru? So many bugs! And you have to follow the school enrollment route or you'll get beaten to death. Can't players who hate studying exist?

Two stars for the NPC models. Fix the bug that stops you catching Satoru!!

You can't fast-travel, and getting around costs money. You have to kill the spirits. What if I can't bring myself to do it? And this game is such a grind. Even people who work 24/7 need a vacation, right?

[Player Saotome] ★★☆ ☆ ☆

The worldbuilding and map are good, and there are lots of player titles, but you can't choose your own. I don't want to be the "Curse User Leader"! My classmate saw that and won't play with me anymore!

[Player Saotome] ★★★★☆

I can't tell NPCs and players in the open world apart!

[Player Saotome] ★☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

Nobody cares about the questionnaire I submitted, and nobody responds to the reviews after updates. This game's a mess, but the game itself is all right.

Um, how do I quit? I wanted to play an RPG, not an otome game, hey!

The career and romance storylines are split 60/40. A growth story from the very beginning. This is an unbelievably powerful technique (nods emphatically).
