Making Lovers is one of the more beloved and popular romcom VNs and it's easy to see why. First of all, it's refreshing to have an adult cast/setting. Meaning you drink at a bar together, get drunk, look for apartments, move in together, talk about marriage and children, workplace shenanigans among other things. It's refreshing to not have the usual teenage cast+school setting. ML gives you relatable and genuinely funny gags as the characters navigate adult life together.

ML has five different routes after a very brief common route. The short common route means that you hardly even meet the other girls once you're locked to a route. This is actually nice, since it means that it's not a harem and you won't get the unrealistic situation that MC has five different girls in love with him at the same time. If ML does one thing well, it's consistency. Every route and girl is about equally good. They offer so many funny, wholesome, memorable scenes at a very steady pace. I don't think there was a single moment where I was bored reading this VN.

Another cool feature is being able to choose your own date location, as well as a place to eat afterwards. Each date you put together is slightly different, making it enjoyable to put together the perfect date that fits each of the girls.

Overall, it's all I'd want from a romcom VN. It's lighthearted, funny and adorable and shines brightest when its endearing characters are just goofing around together, with a little bit of substance to each route just to make the characters feel a bit more fleshed out.
