JackJeanne: Done with Sou

Onto the Sou route proper. Which I did not finish, and I am not sure I'll ever come back to it.
Sadly the game not only didn't convince me that Kisa has romantic feelings for Sou, the route very quickly turned into one of my absolute least favourite romance tropes: unhappy established relationship where the dude is possessive and controlling and makes the girl feel miserable, and then... presumably learns better? I did not get that far but I certainly hope so!
The writing's not actually all that gendered, asides from the connotations of the trope, and as Obsessive Yandere Otome Love Interests go he's incredibly mild. If she'd been into it I'd have enjoyed it fine. But alas, she was not.
I have moved onto Suzu and am having a great time so far, Kisa already seems more into him romantically/sexually than she ever did with Sou (she definitely loves Sou but it felt ambiguously platonic to me) But we'll see how I feel when I get onto that route proper.
