Overall, I found Piofiore to be decently enjoyable. Like Code: Realize and Collar x Malice, it's very plot-heavy at the expense of romance, but it's not entirely without some heart-fluttering and steamy scenes. Sadly, none of the LIs really captured my heart, but the routes were still fun to read for the most part. That said, the finale was kind of a mess, and the "core" plot never explored some of the things I hoped it would. Also, the food descriptions always made me hungry.

Things I Liked:
- A+ voice acting from some familiar names.
- Gorgeous art and MC.
- The M rating is definitely earned; some themes and endings are very dark.
- Despite being a naive, sheltered church girl, Liliana was a solid MC who knows how to play to her strengths.

Things I Didn't Like:
- The LIs. I can excuse organized crime, but I draw the line at Catholicism (jk jk jk. kinda.)
- The behavior of some LIs in other routes was frustrating and downright baffling to me.
- Oliver doesn't have a route of his own.
