Is the story interesting?

Is the story is as interesting as steins gate or chaos head? I know that is this about robots and such but is it done well? If this is just another generic animeish slice of life story I’ll probably pass on this until sales or so.

I thought it was going to be rubbish and was going to pass on this, then I looked at the manga and the story was pretty interesting so I got the bundle. Don't look at the manga if you don't like spoiler - not a problem for me since I prefer to go in with all the information at hand.

I don't think any of the Science Adventure Series is slice of life.

[Sephilar]

From what I've read so far it seems to be more laid-back than the way S;G and C,H/C;C start, but I'm not going to deny that as a Chaos; fan I was pumped when I heard "Whose eyes are those eyes?" again. I'm very glad that I decided to never watch the anime until the VN was translated, especially considering how ♥♥♥♥♥♥ are most adaptations from VNs.

You're less into the main action in R;N than you are in S;G and C;C. It is definitly more slice of life than other SciADV visual novel. But still, there is a fair part of adventure.

Easily the worst of all SciAdv for me, but still better than most vns out there. The Tweepo system is awful.

Tbh, pretty much almost all the SciADV although they have original system choices that differ from the usual ones, they are still awful. I don't think anyone can really get all the correct choices for unlocking the heroine routes in C;H Noah for example without using a guide or spending an eternity figuring that out, nor to unlock the True End in S;G without doing the same either.

Yes, the game is blander than the rest of the series, and yes, the route unlock system is as annoying as Steins;Gate, but this is not a game you play every year, right?

And yes, it's worth it. The cast is kinda likable... But depends on you.

S;G choices are pretty straightforward. You can easily find out what to answer to Kurisu's emails without a guide. It makes sense.

[Dolraeth]

In Steins;Gate (and here, too) it's more about timing. Kurisu writes you somewhat untimely.

[DatGuyDom]

I think it is very similar to Seins;Gate in pacing.

It APPEARS to be slice of life in the opening hours, the mid-point progresses the story noticeably and then (from what I've played so far) the final quarter of the game goes full plot on your butt.

I feel like there's a good amount of drama and conspiracies within the story itself BUT you can definitely find more 'exciting' novels elsewhere as this is a slooow burn no matter how you cut it.

Like seriously slow, I'm 3 chapters away from the end and despite some background conspiracies being uncovered the plot is still largely "teenagers want to build a robot to win an expo". Anyway, it's still interesting and I would've given up by now if it was Slice of Life.

[DatGuyDom]

Beat the game after making my previous comment..
Yeah, I agree with Pala.. the plot is actually pretty bad looking back at it.
Like the characters are good but most of the plot events go absolutely nowhere.

[dgresevfan]

It's pretty boring. The plot isn't BAD per se, but it's dragged out way too long and the "phases" / routes for each of the girls are pointless.

Should have been one long continuous playthrough.

The last chapter was good! Pity about the rest being such a slog.

[Blanners]

Easily the best character cast in SciADV. The story itself is on par with the rest of this series too.

[Dolraeth]

What Blanners says is fair enough, but given that the OP is afraid of "generic animeish slice of life", I don't know if we can really recommend it to them. The game really is focused on SOL.

[Blanners]

It's far from being "just another generic animeish slice of life story" though.
