[Kawaii/VN] A middle VN with cute anime girls. The story is basically romance though partly including some molesting/humiliating situations. Main characters are Chinese full-voiced.

[VN] 中国の少し拗れた家族関係を描いた恋愛物語。とても可愛くて独特なアニメ絵は素晴らしい。話は少し暗い部分があり（store説明文を読めばある程度把握できる）人を選ぶ部分が若干あるが、それも含めて最後までしっかり読める内容ではあるので、興味があれば十分飛び込める価格なので英語か中国語が読める人は積極的にチャレンジしてみてほしい。中国語フルボイス。

Story about how certain you don’t always agree with family and their traditions.

Although it takes place in the same village that was in the first game, you don’t need to know the story. Aside from one minor returning character, the whole thing revolves around completely different characters. However, the zealous respect for old traditions is still prominent in the village – you will know what this involves if you played the first game.

This time, you are placed in the shoes of a young man who lives with his two sisters and father. There is another girl living there, but she came from somewhere else. They all grew up together, and she is a member of the family, but she is constantly assigned chores and punished for the smallest things. As you get older, you realize that this is not fair.

You also start noticing other things, such as a forced marriage your sister has to go through. This chances something inside you, and now you have to fight against your dad and the traditions you grew up with.

The game is pretty long and has four chapters. However, you only get to make one single decision in each chapter that eventually leads to one of several endings. There is some heavy romance between you and your sister involved, which makes sense towards the end, but you might have to deal with something you’re not comfortable with.

Your character is not voiced, but the others are. Since this is a longer game, you also have more characters. The voice language is not English, however there are subtitles to help you follow the plot. Translation feels a bit better compared to the first game.

The game's engine is unique, but it has everything you would expect from a visual novel. You can save and load the game at any moment, change the speed of the text, or skip it completely. Of course, this is not encouraged because you will miss out on the full story, which is the reason you play these games in the first place.

Disclaimer: I have only played the game in english.

"Trajectory of summer flower Ⅱ" is a romantic vn that touches upon the subjects of family, tradition, rural customs and coming of age path (finding yourself). It is set in the same universe the first game introduced to us, a paradisian countryside full of secrets and a very dark past. This time around, the story is more well written, the characters more intersting (complicated yet simple), the plot more coherent and the partitioning into chapters was a good way to divide up the main points it wanted to show. The animations and the artwork are pleasant, the music helps with setting the mood, the voice acting is MUCH better (yes, it is fully voiced for 5 euros base price), the font easier to read and colorful (still difficult to read at times due to the background blending in), and the translation still needs work. It has alternative endings and choices but they also don't feel like they have any real impact. You can also finish it in one sitting but it's much longer this time.

The story follows the everyday life of a traditional upper class rural family. The humorous approach in contrast with heinous acts of the past and present, the conflicted emotions of our protagonist due to the tensions created by his coming of age change in personality and the traditional customs, and the idyllic scenery blending in with the pseudo-serenity of the village, are an excellent depiction of a fallacious utopia.

It works because it can simultaneously be amusing and entertaining, yet cruel. Childish at times but full of teachings. After the first one-two hours, the story picks up. While at first is mandane and boring, as soon as you start understanding what's going on and you get properly introduced to the entire cast, this quickly changes to a very interesting read. It drags on unnecessarily on occasion, thus making some characters sound like a flibbertigibbet.

Towards the end, is the best part. The spiraling down of the protagonist and the manifestation of it, that almost made him descent into madness, has been done exceptionaly. The use of images, accompanied by the circling of memories, gives us a very vivid, vibrant and clear painting of the inner conflicts such a society creates. And it's powerful!
