Я уже давно игра Shinning Song Starnova
И могу сказать, что это лучшая визуальная новелла
Которую я играл, много часовой интересный сюжет.
Харизматичный главный герой, который сталкивается
С трудностями на пути к мечте, девушки каждая из которых
Показывается не только как идол, как а человек.
Который тоже сталкивается с трудностями, так им
Приходится находится, с другими идолами в одной команде.
Которые являются не только их друзьями но и соперницами
Также, в игре поднимается не мало жизненных, сложных
И философских тем, от конфликта идолов с их родителями
До Неравного противостояние, двух враждующих команд
Старнова и Квазар, также хотелось бы отметить.
Что в игре не смотря на многое часовое чтение.
Имеются выборы хоть их не так много
Но в силу их ограниченности, они кардинально
Влияют как и на главного героя так и на сюжет в целом.
Я также в целом, рекомендую ознакомится с Данной игрой.
Всем фанатом Аниме, и любителям визуальных новелл
story and charcater are extrealy likeable, i enjov the story so much i gasligted myself to think the whole game was voice acted because i got either so immersed or enjov the whole game that much i made myself belive it was that peak
Shining Song Starnova is a character-driven visual novel that explores the idol industry from a perspective that is far more emotionally charged and conflicted than its bright exterior initially suggests. Developed by Love in Space and published by Sekai Project, the game places the player in the role of a producer tasked with guiding a group of aspiring idols through the competitive, often unforgiving world of entertainment. Rather than focusing solely on spectacle or idealized success, the story consistently emphasizes the tension between ambition, vulnerability, and the personal cost of chasing stardom, setting it apart from lighter idol-themed narratives.
The structure of the game revolves around seven heroines, each with her own route, personality, and internal struggles. While all of them share the same overarching dream of becoming successful idols, their motivations, fears, and emotional baggage differ significantly. As the producer, your decisions influence not only romantic or interpersonal outcomes but also professional trajectories within the group. Choices determine who becomes the center of attention, how conflicts are resolved, and whether characters are supported in healthy ways or pushed toward damaging compromises. This branching structure encourages multiple playthroughs, as each route reveals new facets of the story and reframes earlier events from different emotional angles.
What makes Shining Song Starnova particularly engaging is its willingness to depict the idol industry as a space filled with contradictions. Moments of triumph, connection, and genuine joy are frequently offset by anxiety, jealousy, and pressure from both fans and management. The narrative often lingers on the psychological strain placed on young performers, highlighting how public image and private identity can clash in uncomfortable ways. Some routes lean heavily into emotional drama, presenting scenarios where characters are forced to confront their own limits, while others explore quieter forms of self-realization and growth. This tonal variety gives the game a sense of depth that extends beyond surface-level wish fulfillment.
The visual presentation plays a major role in conveying these themes. Character artwork is vibrant and expressive, capturing both the polished idol personas and the more fragile moments behind the scenes. CGs are used effectively to emphasize key emotional beats, whether celebratory or intimate, and help differentiate each route’s emotional arc. Partial voice acting in Japanese adds personality and nuance to character interactions, reinforcing their individuality even when the script leans into melodrama. The original soundtrack complements the experience well, shifting between energetic idol-style tracks and softer, more reflective compositions that underline the story’s emotional shifts.
Mature content is an integral part of Shining Song Starnova’s identity and narrative direction. Rather than existing purely for shock value, these elements are tied to themes of exploitation, desire, and emotional dependency within the idol system. How well this integration works will largely depend on the player’s tolerance for such material. Some will appreciate how it reinforces the story’s darker undercurrents and sense of realism, while others may feel it complicates or undermines character agency. Regardless, the game does not shy away from these topics, making it clear that it aims to provoke discussion rather than offer a sanitized depiction of its setting.
The writing itself is ambitious, though not without uneven moments. Dialogue can sometimes feel overly dramatic or repetitive, particularly in routes that dwell heavily on internal monologues and emotional spirals. However, when the writing is at its strongest, it delivers impactful scenes that linger long after they conclude. The best routes manage to balance emotional intensity with introspection, allowing characters to feel flawed yet human, rather than simply archetypal idols defined by singular traits.
Replayability is one of the game’s strongest assets. With multiple endings for each heroine and meaningful divergence based on player choices, Shining Song Starnova rewards commitment and curiosity. Seeing every route provides a more complete picture of the group dynamic and the systemic pressures at play, transforming the experience from a series of isolated stories into a broader commentary on ambition and identity.
Ultimately, Shining Song Starnova is a visual novel that thrives on emotional intensity and character focus. It is not a gentle or purely uplifting idol story, but rather a dramatic exploration of dreams pursued at great personal cost. Players looking for a nuanced, sometimes uncomfortable look at fame, relationships, and self-worth will find a surprisingly layered experience here, while those seeking a lighthearted or idealized portrayal of idol life may find its tone challenging. For its intended audience, however, Shining Song Starnova stands as a memorable and emotionally resonant entry in the genre.
Rating: 9/10
Shining Song Starnova is a story-heavy adult visual novel that surprised me with how engaging its writing and character development are. The idol industry setting feels fleshed out, and the drama kept me invested far beyond the adult content. Lewd scenes are well integrated instead of feeling forced. A great pick if you want substance along with spice.
(/ω＼*)……… (/ω•＼*)
A so and so story about rejects doing an underdog story, it's basic but still enjoyable
/// Requires a +18 patch to get the whole content ///
The Good:
-Good character and background design
-Some scenes are even animated
-Some music is actually decent
The Bad:
-Nemu's VA sounds like she used an air fryer to record her lines
-Few lines are fully voiced, everything else gets an occasional one liner so that you don't fall asleep or forget who's talking
-"The big bad" is cartoonishly evil, this would make sense in something like Sunrider, but Starnova is depicting somewhat real world Japan
The Ugly:
-Not much diverging story branches, it's linear choices between "choose to advance" or "get a short scene and go back to the choice"
-Could have done with more than one voice over language
-A lot of secondary characters don't even have a visual representation, not even a caricature
I presume at a steady pace you could fully clear this novel in like 40-60 hours
Hope for hope's sake.
That's one of the last lines of this Vn and it sums up the stories within it perfectly. The routes of this vn are about failure, waiting too long for your dreams, and the people who will put you down along the way. The hardest part is the emptiness achieving your dreams can often bring.
There are different degrees of success for the different characters, and reading it asks you to reflect and ask yourself what would ultimately bring you happiness.
While I have varying opinions on the heroines present here, I can't deny that they each fought for their own hopes and dreams.
Life sucks, it can challenge us, but just like how fiction can inspire hope, this tory embodies how that isn't the whole story. Still, we have to fight for the hope for a better tomorrow.
Это новелла показывает что всё не так уж радужно в нашем мире, что даже в мире развлекательного бизнеса пока зритель наблюдает за идолами/звёздами закулисами могут происходить жестокие вещи по отношению к идолам/звёздам и не только.
「Shining Song Starnova」は、小規模な芸能事務所を舞台としたアイドルテーマのビジュアルノベルです。物語は、個々のストレス、業界からの圧力、生き残るための妥協に焦点を当てており、ドラマ要素に時折コメディが挿入されます。筆致は軽い娯楽よりもキャラクター成長に向けられています。
各ルートは異なるアイドルの背景に焦点を当てます。テーマには燃え尽き症候群、社交不安、オンラインでの嫌がらせ、家族からの期待が含まれます。選択肢は関係性の分岐に影響し、固有シーンを解放します。感情描写は重く感じられる場面があります。全体のトーンは現実的です。
ゲームプレイは台詞の読解と定期的な選択に限定されます。マネジメント要素やミニゲームは存在しません。物語の進行は安定していますが、一部シーンは長めです。構造は分岐の複雑性よりもキャラクター深度を優先しています。
演出はアニメ調のアートと詳細なキャラクターポートレートを採用しています。表情は頻繁に変化し、心情に対応します。背景は簡素ですが機能的です。音楽は穏やかにループし、ドラマ性を補強します。ボイス収録は部分的ですが効果的です。
ローカライズ品質は高く、文章は自然に読めます。ユーモアも違和感なく伝わります。UIは操作性が良好です。セーブオプションにより選択の試行が容易です。技術的安定性も維持されています。
総じて、本作はアイドル文化の陰を描くストーリー重視のビジュアルノベルです。深いキャラクターアークを求めるユーザーには価値があります。一方、マネジメント要素を期待するプレイヤーには不向きです。現実志向のアイドルドラマとして、物語面で成果を上げています。
Топ
Давно я так не увлекался чтением, лол
Помоему они для меня сами семьёй стали
Как для Хентайной визуальной новелы это помоему одно из лучших что я читал, конечно лайтовое не то что таже Эйфория, но там уже совсем другое, тут же добро и дружба и любовь, но это не отменяет что это интересно и просто приятно это читать
Хентай тоже хороший хоть его на 35 часов не оч много, но и не мало. Полностью доволен
10 из 10
Shining Song Starnova is, overall, a really well put game. It has a great Visual Novel experience, nice art and the stories of the girls are amazing! A FAVOURITE for sure!
Shame we never got Alpaca-kun's route.
Тіпа baza
Игра на удивление оказалась не только отличной визуальной новеллой в плане текста, персонаже и драмы, но и небезынтересным пособием о жизни японских идолов и шоубизнесе. На удивление здесь все героини не только приятные, но и интересные, а в их рутах можно узнать про ещё больше скелетов из их шкафов, что добавляет им ещё больше глубины. Лучшая девочка — это Аки, но так же советую обратить внимание на рут Марии, ведь в его рамках будет уделено внимание отношениям, запрещённым на территории Российской Федерации, но разрешённым на территории Республики Беларусь.
Amazing writing, lots of content, Mariya's Route made me cry, a lot.
10/10 would love a dlc for more content.
Recomendo
Nice game!
«Katawa Shoujo», «Sunrider Academy», «Everlasting Summer», «Idols Galore», «Love Esquire»…Список можно продолжать еще очень долго. Но что общего у этих игр помимо того, что это визуальные новеллы – симуляторы свиданий, сделанные на «Ren'Py».
В каждой из этих игр вас знакомят с историей главного героя, потом с девушками-рутами и дают вам выбрать одну из них, после чего все остальные почти полностью уходят с экрана, позволяя вам вдоволь насладиться личной историей. И в этом плане «Shining Song Starnova» куда более уникальна, чем может показаться на первый взгляд.
Учитывая, что игра сделана добротно, пускай и не без изъянов. Я бы сказал, что 4 из 7 рутов хорошие (что весьма не плохо, в той же «Katawa Shoujo» хороши 3 из 5) , но многим нравятся другие 3, судя по отзывам, которые мне не приносят удовольствия, так что вопрос скорее вкуса. Некоторые руты прям, чувствуются, что написаны чуть слабее, хоть и все равно хорошие. Некоторые короче других. Где то глупых шуток больше. Выборов почти нет. Но за то нет лишнего геймплея, приятная картинка, звуки, музыка и озвучка, да и в целом хороший сценарий.
Да, тут так же можно выбрать нравящуюся вам девушку, пройти ее историю, получить хэппи энд, закрыть и забыть. Но смак «Starnova» не в этом, а в том, как история с каждым пройденным рутом словно пазл складывается в целую, общую картину. Это история не какой-то девочки, не продюсера за которого мы вроде, как и играем, это история группы, 7 девчонок, новичков и неудачниц, которые хватаются за свой, возможно последний, шанс преуспеть, попутно справляясь с личными драмами, общими проблемами, вырастая как личности и, конечно же, сражаясь за свою любовь. Ведь в этой истории главный герой на самом деле не вы.
Неважно кого вы выберите, группа останется группой. Все персонажи остануться, будут ругаться, мириться, шутить, бороться, проигрывать и побеждать, В разной степени влияя на сюжет, команду и окружающий мир. Каждый рут по своему дополняет историю: где-то расскажут более подробно предысторию самого Продюсера, где-то больше расскажу об антагонистах и их команде, конечно же, в каждом расскажут больше о выбранной вами девушке. И в конце понимая всех, сложив для себя общую хронологию, и выбрав рут который для себя вы считаете лучшим, вы получите гораздо больше удовольствия, чем, если бы прошли один рут и вышли.
Я не могу рекомендовать «Shining Song Starnova» всем, учитывая, что сам жанр визуальных новелл сам по себе весьма на любителя, но если вы уже в теме, и по какой-то причине пропустили эту игру, то дайте ей шанс, и возможно она останется в вашем сердечке надолго.
Для меня это новелла теперь стоит на втором месте из всех, лучший проект Love in Space, спасибо разработчиками и успехов в будущем!
Но лучше в симуляторы свиданий не играйте, веселее будете)
havent even got to the H-Scenes yet, but i honestly love the development through the first couple chapters. pretty nice to have a nice story before everything turns to sex.
Неплохая новелла. Про становление абсолютно разных личностей группой идолов.
Итак, рецепт этой гремучей смеси:
-бывший идол-алкоголичка Мария
-[strike] шлюха [/strike] эскортница Юлия
-совершеннолетняя и дох*я умная лоли Аки
-сельская девка Нацуки
-отаку Мика
-[spoiler] грудастый монстр и маньячка NEMUNEMUNEMUNEMUNEMUNEMUNEMUNEMUNEMUNEMUNEMUNEMUNEMU[/spoiler] девушка из богатой семьи Нему
-ну и конечно же самая адекватная и правильная Сасами
И заправляет этими [spoiler]беглыми пациентами психбольницы (особенно ты, Нему) [/spoiler] кандидатами в идолы бывший идол, их продюсер Каори-сан, от лица которого и ведется рассказ.
Сюжет довольно адекватный, не обошлось конечно же без типичных клише визуальных романов (но это классика жанра). Часто автор высмеивает эти же клише и само повествование складывается из последовательных разумных шагов становления ноунеймов известными.
Так что я покупал эту игру не для того,чтобы дрочить на тяноцек и фантазировать, а прочитать вполне слаженную историю без особого пафоса этих персонажей.
way better than I expected
Cute and sexy. Starnova is an engaging visual novel with an interesting perspective into the Japanese idol industry. It also has a spinoff business tycoon game that lets you manage your own idol agency.
[b]I can't believe I didn't know about this game just until recently! This is good. THIS REALLY IS GOOD.[/b]
SSSN has a beautiful catchy story depicting many aspects of being idols (and producers) with right amount of drama, fan service [i]and dark matter.[/i]
In my eyes, first six routes meant to show the unshown side of the idol business world to the outsider, and the grand mandatory final route meant to convey messages to ones aspiring to be an idol themselves.
While the plot is good, the true strength of SSSN lies in CHARACTERS and DIALOGUE. Stunning quality, these two parts really put me under a spell.
DLC for those ‘energetic’ scenes can be added for free from Steam and even come with no-mosaic and animated experience. H-Hey, N-N-Not that I care about those scenes or anything.
Why some idol producers get to be so lucky?
[h1] Introduction [/h1]
Shining Song Starnova is a VN developed by Love in Space, and is the story of a group of idols, but it's not your typical garden variety idol story. This aspires to be a more mature, realistic version of a idol story. Did they achieve their goal? Let's find out.
[h1] Worldbuilding [/h1]
Not much to say about worldbuilding. The game is set on Japan, and it doesn't have any supernatural, fantasy or science-fiction elements into it. It's as similar to the real world as it can be, so, it's very hard to break established rules, because the setting is consistent with how real world rules work.
[h1] The plot [/h1]
The story is about a group of idols and their producer, about their ups and downs, the good, the bad and the ugly of the idol business. This is the weakest element of the game, because there are plot conveniences and contrivances, especially during Nemu's and Mariya's chapters, but, in the latter case, they aren't that important, because none of the big payoffs of the chapter relies on these conveniences and contrivances. In Mariya's chapter, though, the big payoff of her chapter relies on a contrivance, in this case, a character important to the storyline appearing at the right moment, with no foreshadowing whatsoever. That's certainly a way to damage, or even destroy any investment.
[h1] The characters [/h1]
Just like the plot is the weakest element of the game, the characters are its strongest element. Each character is properly characterized, whether through their dialogue or their actions, each one has a set of goals, traits, flaws, fears and motivations, and their flaws are actual obstacles to their development. They pay the price for their mistakes (sometimes heavily), they learn, grow, and change for the better. Their arcs are well written and lead to satisying payoffs, with some exceptions (see the plot section of this review). I'm actually impressed how the writers nailed the character writing for this game, and it made me take notes to improve my own character writing. But I need to say it: the narration during H scenes is the most cringy I've ever seen on a VN so far.
[h1] Gameplay [/h1]
Initially, I didn't want to assess gameplay, because it's the same way other VNs operate, but there is something I wanted to mention, and that is, in this game, routes can be failed. It's not like the typical romance VN when, once the player enters a route, it's smooth-saling from there. In this game, if the player makes the wrong choice(s), the game will present them with a bad ending for the route. Lastily, if you want to play Sasami's route, then you're in for the long haul, because you need to complete the other six routes, with their good endings, of course. Bad endings don't count.
[h1] Presentation [/h1]
The art direction for this game is very detailed and well done overall, especially in the background CGs. Character design is an interesting mix between current anime and 60s and 70s anime, but I'd appreciate more detail in the event CGs. The voice acting is up to par with what's standard for Japanese voice acting, but, in non-critical plot points, the voice acting is similar to when main characters are talking to NPCs during side quests in some JRPGs, like Tales of Arise, for example. The music fits the setting and the context nicely, but it can be a bit overdone (the orchestral arrangement of Quasar's theme, Gravitation, wouldn't be out of place on a fantasy setting like Lord of the Rings). Technically, the game has some artifacts in transitions, there is a bit of flickering here and there, and sometimes the game blacks out momentarily when some elements of the Windows 11 overlay, like volume indicator, appears onscreen. I think the version of Ren'Py this game uses has some minor compatibility issues with Windows 11, or it could be just sloppy programming. Lastly, there are H scenes in this game, animated and fully uncensored (provided you have the DLC).
In conclusion:
[b] Pros: [/b]
-Impressive character writing.
-Good presentation overall.
-More grounded and mature idol story.
-Uncensored H scenes.
[b] Cons: [/b]
-Plot issues damaged some payoffs.
-Some minor visual bugs and glitches.
All in all, this game accomplishes what it wanted to do: to tell a more grounded and mature version of an idol story. The characters are the highlight of the game, and carried the weight of the story on their shoulders, but some plot issues damaged some big payoffs, and it's a shame, because Mariya's chapter is one of the best, along Aki's and Sasami's. If the writers paid more attention to the plot, I'd have put this in the same level as other great VNs, like Atri or Steins;Gate. But, as it is, this is still a very good VN which I can recommend to anybody who is a VN enthusiast.
[h1]Reseña Única de Shining Song Starnova: ¡Música, Brillos y Drama![/h1]
[h2]Resumen[/h2]

[h2]Aspectos importantes e interesantes[/h2]
- **Narrativa**: Ponte tus zapatos de empresario de idols con un giro dramático. ¡No, en serio, el drama es tan exagerado que podrías olvidarte de que estás jugando y no viendo un episodio de reality show!
- **Gameplay Interactivo**: No solo decides sobre la vestimenta y las respuestas en entrevistas, sino también manejas las crisis (porque sí, ¡siempre hay drama en el mundo del espectáculo!).
- **Estilo Visual y Música**: Los gráficos son un festín para los ojos con un estilo de arte muy kawaii y la música es pegajosa hasta decir basta.
[h2]Aspectos por mejorar[/h2]
- **Repetitividad**: Lleva a estas chicas a la fama una vez y es divertido, hazlo cinco veces y podrías empezar a sentir que estás en un bucle idol infinito. Un poco más de variedad no vendría mal.
- **Traducción y Diálogos**: A veces los diálogos son tan cringy que no puedes evitar reírte. Esto podría ser parte del encanto, ¿o se perdieron en la traducción?

Игра в целом понравилась, по крайней мере после прохождения остались позитивные впечатления.
Из всех героинь больше других понравилась Мария - оказывается питаю слабость к разочаровавшимся во всём девушкам с целым букетом вредных привычек и комплексов. Да и её рут, как по мне, самый удачный. Забавно, что она [spoiler]так часто вспоминала про минеты, которые коварные продюсеры заставляют делать своих подопечных, а потом сама же сделала его[/spoiler] Ивану Рублю - так звали моего главного героя. А меньше всего понравился рут Сасами, как и персонаж в целом.
Что касается "культурного" контента, то тут моим фаворитом является Мика. Хотя Наттан тоже неплоха.
Из недостатков наверное можно выделить небольшое количество развилок. В предыдущих визуальных новеллах, которые я играл, их было намного больше. Также присутствует некая затянутость, и бывает, что персонажи пережёвывают подолгу одно и то же.
Из достоинств - каждый рут является отдельной историей. К тому же они достаточно большие по объёму. И за такое разнообразие стоит похвалить разработчиков. Не повторяется и "культурный" контент. Он также сделан качественно и с фантазией.
STORY:
Shining Song Starnova denotes the struggles and the rise of a girl idol band and their manager, the male protagonist, in the Japanese idol industry.
Not a lot of decisions to be made, and the story progresses in a pretty straightforward manner. In the middle of the story you get a single choice - which girl/route to choose - and then another one in each that leads to a good or bad ending.
There are 7 different girls, each with their own wildly different backgrounds, quirks, personalities, and problems.
There are rather large inconsistencies and plot differences between the different girl stories that are not properly explained by that single decision - which girl to choose - alone.
There is quite a bit of variety - the degree to which the band ends up being successful in the good endings varies, and some of the bad endings are much darker in nature than others.
That being said, the overall story is well written and paced, with good character development along the way. It has quite a few good ups and downs mood-wise, from very funny moments to very sad and/or dark scenes. Quite a few mature themes and topics are covered throughout the stories, even if in a very exaggerated way.
ARTWORK:
Characters are well drawn, and offer a decent variety of expressions. No animations however.
Each character story gets about 6 or so CGs, plus a dozen+ in the common route.
I did not appreciate the censoring in more spicy scenes, which I can understand but as applied is beyond excessive in my opinion.
Lots of other characters - besides the obvious main ones - are drawn in, offering quite a bit of variety throughout the story.
Tons of different backgrounds, all of which are very well designed.
SOUND:
Music is of good variety - over two dozen tracks - and is of great quality, and fit well with the current story mood, as it should be in a music-themed story. It includes a couple of fully voiced upbeat songs as well.
Unfortunately only some story scenarios have full voice acting, the rest being covered by placeholder words and sentences instead. The back and forth between the scenes with and without full voice acting is clumsy and unnecessarily cheapens out the game in my opinion.
SUMMARY:
I enjoyed Shining Song Starnova quite a lot, and do recommend it for those looking for a music industry related plot with decent story and great music. 9/10
Pretty solid story and has enjoyable characters, but the abundance of dialogue can get overwhelming/annoying (especially during the POVs of the rival idol group and their drama). You can honestly skip most of the rival idol group's POV dialogue and still enjoy the story like I did. Looking forward to revisiting and playing the other routes when I have more free time (I've completed 1/7 so far). Also the porn is great lol
[h1]いろんな意味で大人のアイドル物語[/h1]
アイドルを目指す子たちは、キラキラしたピュアな女の子じゃなくて、
心が壊れてる子、アル中、病んでる子、ヒッキー、偽ロリ軍曹と君たちアイドル？って子ばかり
そんな7人の壊れてバラバラだったスターの欠片がスターダムを駆け登っていくお話
苦難はあるけど総じて前向きになれる感じで元気がもらえます
それでいてちょっと泥臭いというかリアルなところがあって苦難をかけ引きや戦略で乗り切っていくのも好感持てました
いろんな立場の人が出てきて、違った角度から物事を見られるのもよかった
各ヒロインの個別ルートがあるけど、それぞれが異なるテーマの話で飽きさせないのもいい
笑いあり涙ありイチャイチャあり学びあり…そして何よりも熱い！
とてもいい作品だと思います
日本語化MODを公開してくれてる方のおかげで日本語で遊べます
感謝！
A wonderful story about the hard work of idols, true friendship and love, overcoming difficulties and chasing dreams. I definitely recommend it to all fans of similar genres!

Aki most SOVL route

another solid VN. this one is about showbiz, idols, etc.
lots of content, free H patch. what more do you need?
Отличная игра, наполненная множеством прекрасного контента, красивой музыки, хороших артов и разных персонажей (есть хентай патч кому интересно, он бесплатный). На прохождение вступления + 1 рута из 7 возможных у меня ушло больше 15 часов, так что игра полностью окупает заявленные 30-40 часов геймплея. Я чувствую, что не зря потратил деньги на это и именно приобрел игру в Стиме, чтобы разрабы получили заслуженную денюжку, а ведь игру я встретил в не очень приметном месте на одной из страниц сайта с хентай-новеллами. Отдельная благодарность группе энтузиастов Мидгарда, что полностью перевели игру на русский язык, без них я никогда не узнал о мире Старновы.
me encanta la novela visual, su historia es muy entretenida y muy bien detallada.
me encantaría que la historia continue.
Gorgeous, captivating, heartbreaking, life affirming and utter perfection. This one came out of nowhere and blindsided me. Imagine mixing the realism of Wake Up, Girls and Oshi no Ko and tossing in the inspirational brightness of The Idolmaster and you would have this. I loved every route and every second of this journey. I highly recommend this everyone out there. I'm definitely keeping on eye on anything this company puts out from now on. This is definitely in my top 10 list now!
PS: If you like the spicy stuff then grab the 18+ patch from the DLC menu for free. This has some of the best H scenes I've seen in a visual novel. Plus they're animated!
[h1] Благодаря таким играм можно забить на личную жизнь [/h1]
Дабы покорить эту игру на 100%, у меня ушло слишком много времени… Я не знаю почему так, но я начинал проходить её три раза… И все три раза я останавливался где-то посередине! И вот наконец-то с четвёртого раза я смог её осилить!))) И дело не в том, что новелла скучная или что-то ещё… Просто руты тут хоть и интересные, но довольно длинные! А ведь чтобы пройти полностью игру, нужно пройти аж 7 рутов!
[h2] Сюжет [/h2]
В игре присутствует 7 очаровательных девушек, и все они очень красивы. Каждая девушка мне очень сильно понравилась, и я в них прям влюблялся. Во время прохождения игры их лор хорошо раскрывают, что делало девушек ещё более привлекательными. И вот во время каждого своего прохождения я прям немного терялся и не мог выбрать, с какой девушкой начать встречаться.
Мы играем роль продюсера для милых девушек, и наша задача — сделать из них айдолов. Мы будем тренировать их, ходить с ними на ТВ-шоу и иногда просто расслабляться. У каждой из девушек очень интересный характер, и их руты очень хорошо написаны. До середины новеллы выборов тут не будет, но потом начинается самое сложное… Ибо после середины новеллы нам нужно выбрать, с какой девушкой начать встречаться. Появится 7 ответвлений для каждой из девушек, и мы можем выбрать только одно! А вот каждое ответвление — это как новая история! В каждом ответвлении нас ожидают разные локации, разные истории и разные концовки!
[h2] Секс-сцены [/h2]
Девушки выглядят очень сексуально, и каждая из них довольно желанна! Каждая девушка и так очень миленькая, а благодаря шикарной рисовке, они выглядят ещё милее! Секс-сцен до выбора ответвления не будет, но зато будет много контента 18+! После того как вы выберете девушку, мы начнём получать с ней секс-сцены. В основном с каждой девушкой по 2-3 качественные секс-сцены. В секс-сценах присутствует небольшая анимация, которая качественно сделана.
В игре будет множество моментов 18+, так что тут будет на что посмотреть. Девушки будут очень часто появляться голыми на горячих источниках, во время тренировок и даже на концертах! И помимо основных девушек, можно ещё и поглазеть на голеньких второстепенных персонажей. Помимо этого, в игре присутствуют даже несколько секс-сцен с второстепенными персонажами:)
Из плюсов:
+Шикарная рисовка
+Очень интересный сюжет
+7 Сексуальных девушек
+7 ответвлений
+Интересный сюжет
+Японская озвучка
+Есть достижения
+Есть карточки
+Нету цензуры
+Патч 18+ качается со стима
Из минусов:
-Нема Русского

Shining Song Starnova is a Visual Novel developed by LOVE IN SPACE and Published by SEKAI PROJECT.
[h1][b]Introduction[/b][/h1]
We take the role of Kaoru Nishiyama, a new producer, recruited by the "Shining Production Company". We enroll in our new and very first job in the entertainment business, meeting the first talents we aimed to make the world's best idols. This goal is a far cry from the actual state of the studio and girls who work there.
[h1][b]Story[/b][/h1]
When we initially enter the studio, we encounter a red-haired young girl who is rudely greeting us. After you reveal that you are the new producer of Shining production she choked and fled into the higher rooms. By following her way up the stairs you find yourself facing seven girls. These seven girls reveal themselves to be the talents that you will promote and train to become real idols.
The work has not even started before you encounter situations that show that the task at hand will not be as easy as it looks. Each of the girls has their very own character perks and quirks which already proved itself to be a challenge to for everyone to work together.
While the basic setup is done, you start out getting the girls a proper outfit and having them begin their new training routines. While they are out for training, your work is to have the girls presented and promoted in all kinds of events. This varies from photo shoots to model shots, handshaking events, promotional events, all the way up to actual debuts at small avenues.
As the days go on, you start to establish a solid base in the idol business with the seven girls. Teamwork and choreography improve, events and avenues became more important, and as such come the recognition of STARNOVA as a new promising idol band.
On the counter side, the current idol-leading company "Golden Calf " and the person leading the current company, Seiichi Kamijou, are all but joyed to see rivals appearing from a new company and is already plotting his work to keep his number one position with his Quasars safe from harm.
With a special event approaching that counts as Japan's most anticipated event, the Idol election where all the idol bands gather at a single big avenue to perform and have their fans vote for them
to become the World's greatest idol with the center getting the title as a goddess.
[h1][b]Routes[/b][/h1]
Mr. Producer (Kaoru Nishiyama) will eventually elect the definitive center of Starnova, a cornerstone that each idol band has to undergo. This event will trigger player choices selecting between the girls. Whichever route you choose, you will be faced with some harsh events, which will include dark and difficult situations that will test each of the idol's resolve.
There is an exception of one special route that unlocks once all other routes have been completed.
[h1][b]World Presentation and Visuals[/b][/h1]
Tokyo, the center of this world is presented as the heart of the Idol business. You can say that all known idol companies have their seats in Tokyo and are fighting in the business for their survival.
The background presentation is decently presented, but the same backgrounds are repetitive if not overly used for different events which make the visuals less attractive in term of variety and appeal.
The studio of Shining production is a far cry from being modern and being able to keep up with other businesses, but with the rising of the idol unit, the hope to be able to earn a better-suited place is high.
The avenues, arenas, and the Ultime Tokyo Dome are presented decently. Some side events have good presentations and I do appreciate this change of pace since it gives a break from the repetitive backgrounds of the few Tokyo places.
The characters' sprites are nice, and have a few different clothes throughout the story. Different reactions and positions are variably set with the current subject and exclamations which are good.
Overall all the areas available are fairly presented and some of the backgrounds well detailed, while others did stay more basic to the area. All visual backgrounds, scenes, and character CG's can be reviewed in the main menu as a bonus.
[h1][b]Voices & Music[/b][/h1]
All character sprites are voiced with some repetitious quotes with other parts being fully voiced except for the producer. Each of the voices contains a good quality of expression and adapted to the current theme of the conversations.
For background music, we have a good number of different tunes, added with two great titles which include two band songs that are a great asset for this visual novel. The other background tracks are a mix of sad, happy-go-lucky, and ambient music that do accompany well with the current situations, which I enjoyed.
[h1][b]Overall Thoughts[/b][/h1]
Shining Song: Starnova is a very impressive visual novel in terms of providing insight into the inner world of idol work. It presents the true harshness of being an idol and the true difficulties an idol band and group has to go through. It is respectable that this novel helps to shine light on the darker side of the idol industry that is often shrouded with secrecy behind the scenes.
All of the idol girls are unique, each with their own kink and character traits that bring in an pleasant mix in the lot. Each of the girls has their own route, their own background, and difficulties which they do their best to ignore but doesn't always work out. They simply get confronted with real reality, which gives this novel a sense of painful experiences.
[b]Critiques[/b]
On the other side, the routes given to each of the girls, typically have them choosing the easy way out of problems versus taking more realistic approaches that should take weeks or months.
The endings of the routes tend to rush past the harsh situations and problems too quickly. I was disappointed by this as it breaks off all the emotions and compassions that we had built up for the girls. Still, the endings are on their own well made. This point is what in my experience in this novel did a bit of a downgrade. Even with each of the routes that have a good and a bad ending, the good endings just felt lacking in impact when compared to the rather severe bad endings.
The NSFW scenes (only available via patch download for Steam version) are a bit wrongly placed inside the story script. When the girls experiences challenges or hard times, this usually queues in the adult scenes. Sure, the girls need empathy and support, but having a sex scene as the problem solving solution each time feels a bit off.
[h1][b]Conclusion[/b][/h1]
If you wish to experience a novel that goes through the life of a real idol, I think Shining Song: Starnova does this well, showing what is important within a group, the experiences they encounter, and situations that prove themselves to be hard to overcome. Visual presentations are good, the music is great and sprites are decent with acceptable voice acting for each character.
I recommend checking out this visual novel. I found the script easy to read and understand which is ideal even for newcomers in the VN genre. Just be aware that the story endings do tend to rush through the darker story elements too quickly, which could be a turn off for some.

Но если кому не похер на эту игру в 2023, то может почитать, что написано ниже.
[hr][/hr]
Помимо этого ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ играл/читал/проходил следующие игры от "Love in Space":
- Sunrider: Mask of Arcadius;
- Sunrider: Liberation Day;
- Sunrider Academy.
И моё честное и искреннее мнение, что "Love in Space" постарались лишь над "Sunrider: Mask of Arcadius". На все остальные проекты они как будто деньги по копейке выделяли. Ну или делали их будучи угондошенными.
Конкретно эту "новеллу" они делали будучи угондошенными в край. Постараюсь коротко и по пунктам.
[b][u]Сюжет[/u][/b]
Он тут как бы есть, но интереса не представляет из-за поганого повествования. Читал я на английском.
Очень много текста. ОЧЕНЬ МНОГО ТЕКСТА. Постоянные и вечные диалоги ни о чем. Куча "мыслей" и "рассуждений" в головах героев. Обсуждение одного и того же. В итоге на середине первого "прохождения" я тупо начал "скипать" до каких-нибудь интересных моментов.
Когда на заднем фоне "квартиры главного героя" я увидел плакат с новеллой "fault" (чекни в Стиме), я сразу подумал неладное. Но не ожидал, что по всратости повествования кто-то сравнится с "fault".
[b][u]Сюжетные выборы и руты персонажей[/u][/b]
Всраты полностью. Опять же, сужу по предыдущим продуктам разработчика, в которых все было не так плохо. Тут выборы есть, но чисто "косметические". Сначала вас ждет длиннющий пролог (тут это называется "Глава 1" и "Глава 2"). Потом вы тупо выбираете персонажку, и вперде. На каждую персонажку по её руту приходится один или два выбора из двух вариантов. Выбрали неправильный - Bad End с возможностью на автомате моментально вернутся к выбору.
[b][u]Персонажи[/u][/b]
На 70-80% копии из "Sunrider". Разработчик не стал "изобретать велосипед", а зря. Получилось плохо и вторично.
[b][u]Спрайты персонажей / Рисовка / CG арты[/u][/b]
Почему все вместе в одной куче? Потому что всрато отдельно ужасно. У каждого женского персонажа 3-4 положения тела (у мужских персонажей 1-2). Увы, но для такого повествования этого ужасно мало. Если бы эту ситуацию хоть как-то скрашивали CG, но с ними тоже есть проблема: их тоже очень мало. Реально. Разработчики как будто пожалели средств и время на CG. Основное количество CG - H-сцены (которые, кстати, тоже всратые и игру не красят).
Вот и получается, что ~90% времени повествования перед нами практически статичные картинки персонажек. С таким успехом могли бы просто аудиокнигу выпустить. А, нет... Не смогли бы... Потому что...
[b][u]Озвучка персонажей / Звуки / Музон[/u][/b]
Озвучка персонажей почти отсутствует. Местами она есть, а местами озвучены только междометия и "catch-фразы" ("фирменные" фразы). Я даже не знаю, что могло быть хуже. Лучше бы вообще не озвучивали тогда.
Со звуками тоже беда. Они невероятно однообразны. Повествование довольно длинное, и один и тот же звук хлопающей двери, когда кто-то заходит или уходит из помещения, начинает действовать на нервы.
Музыка... Эх... Иронично, что новелла про [b]"идолов, которые выступают, танцуют и поют на сцене"[/b] запомнилась мне [b][u]самой всратой музыкой[/u][/b]. Прослушайте "Sunrider - Sora no Senritsu" из того же Sunrider: Mask of Arcadius (или другие композиции) и вы поймете, о чем я.
[b][u]Геймплей[/u][/b]
А его тут нет. Вообще нет. В "Sunrider: Mask of Arcadius" и "Sunrider: Liberation Day" нас ждала довольно неплохая пошаговая стратегия. В "Sunrider Academy" был простенький гибрид "The Sims" и "Менеджера спортивных клубов". А тут [b]НИ-ХУ(ЧЕ)-Я(ГО)[/b]. Просто текст на фоне однообразных задников и спрайтов.
[hr][/hr]
[b][u]Говнище[/u][/b] - как итог. Спасибо за внимание.

[h1][u][b]upd[/b][/u][/h1]
Была такая классная серия игр: "Sakura Wars". Сам играл только во вторую (rus), ибо первую не смог запустить, а последние были либо только на японском, либо мне было уже похер. Так вот, "Sakura Wars 2" вышла в 1998 году. На момент обзора это 25 лет назад! Я уверен, что "Love in Space" спиздили (позаимствовали) как основную идею и концепт, так и персонажей. Но даже это у них получилось всрато.
дорого
Замечательная новелла с выборами, хорошим сюжетом и диалогами. Для большего понимания - можно установить качественный русификатор с полным переводом на русский язык и добавить в свою библиотеку ДЛС. Продолжительность новеллы очень даже впечатляет. В целом - оставляет положительные (и не только) эмоции.
It is a matter of pure injustice that Junpei and Kyousuke do not have a spin off.
10/10 cheesy, delicious visual novel, brilliant and worth it even if you don't install the adult patch.
Solid visual novel and h-game.
Story was great. There are 7 routes, each for 1 of the girls and they all have their own story and problems to explore. Some are a lot of interesting than others. There's a lot of repetitiveness and straight up paragraphs I didn't care for but besides that it's pretty good.
Art is fantastic and scenes are animated. They're a simple few seconds looped but it's still decent. There's 28 scenes in total.
Great game, worth full price.
If you like idols, go buy this game at this instant. You will [b] not [/b] regret it!
Is are like animu but none of that matters I just got it for the cute Badge
I should have played this years ago. This is a very well done and interesting visual novel that is a unique experience compared to others I have played.
The first two long chapters involve bringing together seven idols into a group and helping them to achieve their first success. These two chapters don't have any significant choices. As part of the character and story development, the personality flaws and some of the negative events in the characters' pasts come into focus. They are all far from perfect, but that helps make the game more unique. The game does an excellent job of helping the player love this group of quirky characters despite their individual challenges. The writing is well done, the art is great, the animations are good, and the music is consistently enjoyable while playing at the right moments to help the story.
After the first two long chapters, the player chooses one of the characters to be the center of the idol group. This choice makes the story go in wildly different directions, as well as indirectly choosing the romance path. Most of the paths take the reader on an emotional roller coaster of trying to overcome various challenges. Sometimes the challenges are expected based on what has been learned about the characters - but it is still a wild ride to watch the train wrecks happen. Sometimes the challenges come as complete surprises and take the story in completely unexpected directions. Many of the paths go in very dark directions, even more so on the bad endings. But the good endings are some of my favorites in all the visual novels I've read. The good endings are satisfying conclusions to the individual character arcs, while still creating very different feelings from the other paths. It was impressive to me how much my opinion of various characters changed during the routes compared to the first two common chapters. It felt like the more time I spent with the characters, the better the experience became. Besides the choices which decided the good/bad ending for each route, there were only a handful of choices in the game. Before playing I probably would have thought having few choices was a negative, but the characters and story were so strong that it wasn't.
The game has a lot to say about fame, success, various aspects of the entertainment industry, the long-term impacts of various personality traits, and a bunch of other topics. It was really interesting to see all of that play out through the characters and story. I felt like the game got me to think about a lot of things I hadn't really considered before, while still providing a good game experience. I think parts of it will stick with me for a long time. It was a much richer experience than I would have guessed based on the store page. Definite recommendation.
Great
Shining Song Starnova is a visual novel showcasing the different paths of the 7 main idols of the STARNOVA group. Overall, I'd only recommend this game if bought during sale. It's worth it given the good story + bonus free +18 patch but honestly, there's also better VN's out there with a similar theme. This is one of the instances where I wish that steam actually has a mixed feelings/neutral option for recommending a game.
Story: 7/10
Surprisingly, although Sasami's route was locked, I found that her story actually lacked the most content. I enjoyed all the routes except for Sasami's as her route seemed the most forced out of her relation with the producer and weak link with Quasar (although Mariya was also linked, Quasar didn't have much of an influence during her route). I cried on Aki, Nemu and Mariya's route. Mika and Natsuki's route was the most entertaining while Julie's route was a really good progression given her personality.
Art & Music: 6/10
This goes especially in conjunction to the narration - most scenes are static (except for the patch) but there are times when I wished the narration had at least an illustrated scene especially with action narrated. Overall, most of the scenes were repeatedly reused throughout all the routes but the unique ones for each character also stood out. The bgm was average and repetitive, most similar plots in the story used the same bgm, the theme song wasn't really used during any of the routes (only the bgm). It's an idol story, I would've at least expected an animation scene with the characters and their theme song.
Summary: The best part was each of the main character's individual story/route while the biggest downsides were the repetitive static art & music (only bgm) throughout the VN.
Shining Song Starnova is un juego interesante. ¿Me ha gustado? Sí. ¿Se lo puedo recomendar a todo el mundo? Por desgracia, no. Es un juego para un público muy específico (literalmente hombres heteros que no tocan hierba) así que el hecho de que me haya gustado no dice mucho bueno de mi, pero en cualquier caso es un título muy interesante con muchas cosas buenas (y malas). Empezaré por las buenas:
+ El arte: CG, backgrounds y sprites abundantes. No es el típico juego que puedes leer durante horas y con suerte encuentras 1 cg. Aquí hay una variedad interesante y no se echa en falta nada. Sí que es verdad que muchos personajes secundarios no tienen sprites y que algunos CG tienen problemas de cohesión pero nada grave. Lo que sí que no me gusta es lo mal repartidos que están, luego me pongo con ello.
+ Temas delicados: Siempre me han gustado las novelas visuales que cuentan cosas relacionadas con temas delicados. No es para todos los públicos y hay situaciones en las que hasta cuesta leer porque te hacen sentirte mal por los personajes por las cosas que les hacen pasar. Muchas escenas están vinculadas al DLC gratis +18 (honestamente no sé cómo es la censura o cómo es el juego sin el parche +18 así que no comentaré al respecto).
+ La mayoría de las rutas están bien: Tienen sus más y sus menos pero las rutas en general son satisfactorias aunque no te pueda gustar el personaje al principio se dejan leer. Con respecto a lo anterior se nota que unas tienen más cariño y esfuerzo que otras pero bueno. Cuentan historias diferentes, problemas diferentes y no hay texto repetido en ninguna de las rutas que es un recurso que se ve prácticamente en todas las novelas visuales. No, en este juego sólo hay dos capítulos comunes al inicio y el resto son 7 historias completamente diferentes entre sí.
+ Música: No hay muchos temas (y los que más salen se pueden hacer repetitivos) pero hay algunas canciones que son MUY buenas sobre todo si te gusta el jpop y la cultura idol.
+ Algo que me ha chocado porque contrasta con la escritura tan friki y sexualizada que esta novela tiene a ratos, es que las chicas tienen conversaciones entre sí que no siempre giran alrededor del protagonista. Hablan de prácticamente todo y eso es algo que no se suele ver. Muchísimos de los conflictos no se resuelven porque el MC es perfecto, más bien es un espectador en muchas de las rutas y eso me gusta porque rompe el estereotipo arcaico del protagonista que soluciona la vida de la chica que hayas elegido simplemente por existir. Cuando no eliges a una chica, sus problemas se resuelven también (simplemente no es el foco de la narrativa) y eso está bien como digo porque el protagonista no es el centro del universo y es algo que no se ve mucho en los dating sims que he jugado que se resumen a hacer feliz a la que elijas y al resto que les den.
+ Protagonistas: Las 7 chicas con ruta y algún que otro personaje están muy bien escritos (no me vais a crucificar por decir la verdad), no son planos pese al tipo de juego que es. No voy a entrar en detalles por el tema de los spoilers pero vamos que están muy bien, son memorables y carismáticos en su mayoría.
Ahora voy con las cosas malas.
- Escenas de sexo: No soy muy fan de las escenas de sexo, pero también tengo que decir que un juego con contenido sexual no lo hace automáticamente malo. Katawa Shoujo es considerado un muy buen juego a pesar de ello. El problema del contenido sexual en este juego son dos cosas: La primera es que se carga momentos muy emotivos y honestamente no es necesidad. Algunas veces las escenas sexuales se pueden entender pero en otras rutas es como ''esta chica tiene que tener 3-4 escenas sexuales como el resto, así que aquí mismo la ponemos''. La narración en las escenas sexuales mejor no la comento porque es vomitiva para mi gusto (pero reitero que no me interesa este contenido).
- Escritura subida de tono y otaku: Dos problemas tengo con la escritura de este juego. En primer lugar, que no traducen muchísimos términos japoneses, o los utilizan mal. Si no consumes anime regularmente vas a tener que estar mirando en google qué es cada cosa porque el juego asume que ves anime regularmente y que entiendes conceptos de la cultura idol (que yo al menos no conocía). Y lo segundo es que en ciertos momentos del juego (especialmente al principio del juego pero hay momentos salpicados durante todo el juego) en los que los personajes parecen compartir una neurona y se ponen a hablar de pechos, de sexo y de cosas del estilo (o el protagonista con sus monólogos de troglodita). Nada que no se haya visto en ningún otro anime ecchi o juego fanservice pero es que este juego tiene una historia bastante potente pero por culpa de escenas como esta se me hace imposible recomendarlo porque sé que este tipo de escritura echa para atrás a mucha gente (y con razón). Como digo esto contrasta bastante con el resto del juego que se toma a sí mismo bastante en serio y por regla general tiene una narrativa sólida y un worldbuilding impecable.
- Nemunemu: Lo tengo que decir, si no exploto. Quien sea que haya escrito esto tiene un claro favoritismo por algunas protagonistas y otras parece que están de relleno. Sasami, Aki y Mariya están omnipresentes en todas las rutas, con un protagonismo razonable en todas ellas, pero luego otras como Mika y sobre todo Nemunemu tienen literalmente una frase por escena grupal y es una auténtica pena porque son buenos personajes pero parece que la mitad del grupo se lleva todo: las mejores rutas, las que más contenido tienen y encima tienen relevancia en el resto de rutas. Para que me entendáis: Nemunemu (pelo rosa) sin contar su ruta tiene literalmente más frases en un capítulo extra al final del juego de 20 minutos que en el resto de rutas todas juntas. A veces se te olvida que está ahí porque no aporta nada. Y es una pena porque tiene una pedazo de ruta y es un personaje con mucho potencial pero mi punto es: no me gustan los dating sims que te dejan a elegir ruta vendiéndote la idea de que todas tienen más o menos la misma cantidad de contenido cuando no es así.
En fin, soy consciente de que hay una especie de ''secuela'' de este juego pero aún no lo he jugado y no sé si solventará los problemas de este (pese a ser otro género) pero bueno.
En resumidas cuentas: Si sabes ver más allá de la escritura rancia y otaku que empaña la experiencia ocasionalmente y el mal timing de las escenas +18, Shining Song Starnova es muy buen juego y os lo recomiendo en ese caso. Con muchas horas de entretenimiento, escenas muy intensas y personajes memorables (unos más que otros). Shining Song Starnova podría haber sido de mis dating sims favoritos pero por los puntos negativos mencionados me quedo con que ha sido una historia muy disfrutable que me gustaría revisitar en un par de años.
Альпака - топ идол
Great game to play with one hand!
The other hand is giving headpats.
I've read plenty of VNs but I can assure you, this one is meeehhhh...
-Obviously cheaply and haphazardly made
-One-dimensional artstyle
-Cringeworthy plot
-Overly dramatic characters
-Badly programmed VN(Has crashes and bugs)
Even eroges and nukiges these days have better flow than this. The age of "beeps and bloops" of VN had already ended. Atleast try to voice a whole dialogue of lines than "Ah" and "Ehms"
This shouldn't even be worth a dollar. I spit on this VN wholeheartedly
Another VN banger i can't defend without getting disowned
Overall a good VN that does a good job of showing some of the harsh realities and struggles the industry produced. The art overall is well done and there is a good mix of personalities and looks for the girls. The downside that this game does is that you have to play thru all the girls before you can unlock the one girl. The game does at least stay fairly consistant and does enjoy its humor here it can. The quality of some of the routes does vary dramatically from others, but the girls all pretty much have their moments and theres a look for just about anyone here.
i just finished this game and i have to say i own over 100 vn games and this is definitely one of the best i will be waiting for a sequel with the next generation of starnova please make it happen.
Very good take of Japanese idol industry. Even though some characters seem too stereotypical and shallow in the end they are not. The game very well depicts the brutality of the idol business. Characters have all interesting backstories and the depiction of their lives has a psychological depth to them. You can play 7 different paths (one available only after completion of the other six) and all of them are completely different. Some of the bad endings are really really bad and some good ones are a bit way too good to be true. All of them I found interesting. It is not a problem to play through all of them easily. There are not that many choices and it is easy to go back. There is not much game here. It is more the story presented to the player.
I found the story great and by playing this game I learned additional things about Japan, Japanese culture and its idol industry. After checking on the net after the game it seems some of the events presented in the game actually did/do happen in the industry (maybe slightly different to avoid too much resemblance to real people and their stories). To sum up interesting psychological game where you can learn something about the world even though some characters look like stereotypical anime tropes (they are not in the end ;)).
I'm playing without the 18+ DLC, for context.
So far the game is pretty decent. I've completed 3 routes and of those only one made me question it's writing quality. It should be noted that this is FAR closer to a kinetic novel than a standard visual novel. Each route is comprised of 3 choice dialogs, all branching off of one major decision... much less worrying about character flags or which character your affection total is higher for. It's simple, and that's OK.
If you're the type that goes for completion in these games, you will need 7 "runs" to see all good ends.
EDIT:
I've now completed all routes, with my order being Mika => Mariya => Nemu => Natsuki => Julie => Aki => Sasami. Aki's route is by far my favorite, but I truly enjoyed all of them - even the the one where I questioned the writing quality has grown on me after finishing the final route. In total I got 35 hours of story out of this VN. Even with the optimal save point where routes diverge, this was 15 more than expected. This being the age of cheap PC gaming thanks to frequent Steam sales, I feel stating you'd pay full price is a big compliment... I can confidently say it would have been worth full value.
Where to start?
#The Bad:
Incorrect and made-up words. Obscure words that no one uses. Words that while being technically correct, ruin an idea or emotion that the story is trying to convey. There was obviously a form of spell checking being used, as very few words were misspelled.
The writing was mediocre. Too many of the individual routes used "this just happened" without giving a plausible reason for doing so. One route went into all-out snowflake mode. Everyone involved was mentally "damaged", when realistically, people tend to be stronger than what was portrayed.
The final route went too far against the most likable of the girls.
The art was decent, but the non-ero mode female chests were unbalanced, with the near side being much smaller. The female faces in ero-mode didn't match their normal counterparts and their breasts were larger.
#The Good:
While I spent most of my time shaking my head at and reinterpreting it, the writing (for the most part) was pretty good.
The girls were likable and attractive (even the yandere), so it was a pleasure to interact with them. The music was okay, I guess. I didn't pay too much attention to it, except when it was repetitive or didn't fit the mood.
#The Ecchi
This is where the game truly shines! Pick your favorite girl, enjoy her story and most importantly, have fun!
6.75/10
Pretty long game (expect around 40h of playtime) with a surprisingly low amount of sexual Innuendo.
the game is basically like a long book with the first part being similar for all girls and the second part branching out in 7 (quite different) parts.
Decisions have only minimal influence on the game, no need to level up any stats by choosing right answers - basically you cannot choose any answers anyway, decisions are limited to 1-2 in each "Lifepath".
"Wrong" decisions will quickly dump you in a bad end, with the option of jumping directly back to the decision and pick the other path.
Characters are written pretty well and have very different traits, ambitions and behaviour. The storylines are diverse and fit each of the girls.
Recommended, buy on discount.
And look for the +18 patch if you want to spice up things a bit.
But again - sex isn't really the main thing here, more like the icing on the cake.
I was on a fence for this one for years since i didn't like that they put Sunrider on hold to make this. But i recently put down my pitch fork and gave it a try.
This is the first VN in a long time that made me laugh, cry and get emotionally invested inn. This is Love in space VN writing at its finest. First presenting a simple story when you start it, then the story gets layers on layers to the point that if you have want to get the whole story you have to play it 1 more time.
+ You do get to learn a lot about Japanese culture and the production of idol/Anime by reading this. I even picked up the names of some unique drinks and food like Shochu . Gave it a try at my bar for the first time and i'd never would have picked it up if it was not for Starnova.
Not a masterpiece by any means, but an enjoyable visual novel nevertheless. Visuals and sound are really high quality, I especially enjoyed many CGs and music (both the vocal tracks and BGM). The plot can get a bit ridiculous sometimes, especially with its stereotypical mustache twirling antagonists, but there's a lot of heartwarming moments that gave me lots of feels, as well as the funny ones. If you are a fan of idols, then you should surely give it a try. Also I'm looking forward to try Idol Empire and other Love in Space games.
PS. Mariya best girl
I’m not sure what it is about Love in Space, but they manage to turn off the wall concepts into pure gold. I own and have gone through every single one of their releases, from Homeward through Starnova Idol Empire. I don’t know how they do it, but every one has made me laugh and made me cry (both tears of joy and sadness). I started with Sunrider and was (as a Patron supporter for years specifically wanting a sequel) admittedly a bit miffed when they decided to shelve that to focus on a visual novel about idols. While I am a big anime and manga fan, I never have had much interest in idols. I still don’t care about idols, but dang it if they didn’t manage to genuinely make me care about THESE idols. Even though I only had a real preference for one of the girls, each and every route is packed full of emotion and worth the ride. A lot of visual novels I’ve gone through depend on cute anime girls and/or erotic themes to compensate for lackluster story telling and generic tropes. That’s not the case here. Far from it.
Pros:
- Awesome art (Hurray cute anime girls!)
- Amazing storylines
- Good soundtrack
- Lots of tie-in dialogue and visuals to their other works was a treat.
- Long! Going to get a lot of hours going through all the routes. Worth the purchase.
Cons:
- Love the voice work, but its not complete so a lot of times they just say their catchphrase or a few words, which can be off putting. I swear I will hear Aki screeching “Onii-chan” in my nightmares. But hearing Julie curse is magic.
Other Thoughts:
- Not a ton of choices. Its not a kinetic VN, but there are a limited number of choices to make. You directly pick your ‘end girl’ about halfway through, so you’re not working on setting affection flags or anything to end up with someone specifically. Afterwards, there is a choice or two to steer your exact ending. Given the completeness of the story though, that is not really a con in my mind. I highly recommend saving at choice points and running through the options. Even a lot of the abrupt BAD ENDS are amazing.
- The adult content may not be for everyone. Again, not really a con. Personally, it made me laugh. Partially because it’s here that some of those aforementioned dialogue callbacks come into play quite often, and partially because I’m asexual and people talking like this always makes me crack up rather than turn me on anyway.
- Mika is the best.
Bottom line: If you’re on the fence, BUY THIS! You will not be disappointed.
WE ARE STARNOVA!
Really enjoyed this one. A lot of time is spent in the beginning to set up the premise and it gave enough time to get to know everyone, before any choices need to be made. Every route felt unique and interesting enough, to make me want to see all there is. While the english translation/grammar is a bit dodgy at times, it always got the point across.
Overall while there were a lot of bad things that happened, it was great to see how the characters all worked to surpass them and find a happy ending. Very hopeful even in the face of despair, and being able to keep that hope and fight for your dream is a very important thing that is shown.
Order I did (Was going favorite to least, not including Sasami who would have been first or second):
Mika, Julie, Mariya, Nemu, Aki, Nattan.
Best thing about it is that I genuinely grew on the characters I did not like after really diving into their arc and learning more about them.
For the Sunrider fans
a super tedious but beautiful game, the dialogue can get really annoying in this game but the animation and art is really good, music is fine too, but if that's the case it should also have language options for voices, i was mainly getting sick of reading that i skipped a lot of it, next time keep the dialogue to minimum or have language options something, i won't give it a thumbs down but its more of a middle ground for me, also as a visual novel i feel like it was lacking in the choices area, it was more forced than anything, you barely had any control in the game, still not a bad game just needed more thought into it
When it comes to anime games, adult or not, I always look for two main things generally, and in neither of these did Starnova disappoint, but more about this in a moment.
You portray the role of a manager of an up and coming all girl pop group in Japan. I had no idea how cutthroat this business was before playing this. I mean I can't believe the 'Spice Girls' would have been through this trauma and drama in a Western world. This opened my eyes for how hard this industry must be in Japan and I have new respect for other Asian groups like 'Black Pink' for example.
The story is superb, and the translation is perfect (one of my main boxes and gripes checked). I ran through my first play trough, and the ending with Mariya (my original fave girl) and I enjoyed it tremendously. The H scenes are not overboard, nor blurred out and ended up enhancing the experience for me. If you are here for just anime boobies, this might not be for you, this one is definitely more for fans of narrative and story. With that said, the sexy scenes arent' written with the same passion as the story, felt a bit off at some points, but then again, not a lot of reading happens when viewing sexy scenes normally :) Other than that there really is very little to fault in this game.
As with anime games in general, the art, sound and music is perfect, absolutely no complaints. All of this has left me with the feeling of wanting to try all the other ending the game has to offer, so replay-ability and choices matter boxes checked as well. And this brings me to most important thing about anime games for me. A simple question really. Is it moving? Does playing/reading it move you? Do you feel some bond or feeling when reading it and experiencing this life through the eyes of these characters. And it is a resounding yes. It will not leave you unmoved with it's magic. A really good visual novel this, and highly recommended for fans of this genre. A little undiscovered sleeper gem. 9/10
Lewd, but truthful.
The creators understood Idol and the industry. It's packed with real heart. It will hit harder if you're an idol wota like me. It's not just here to be like "haha otaku simps funny."
I like the game so far. The characters are unique and memorable. They play off each others well, both in funny and emotional scenes.
Another game I can't defend without getting disowned.
It's a kinetic novel version of a standard harem anime, in all its cliched glory. I'd say the highlight of the experience so far is the character design; the lead developer also did the Sunrider series which I am a fan of, and its quality shines through (pun intended). It isn't particularly phenomenal in any other aspect, but nothing is aggressively mediocre either. CGs, writing, interface, voice acting, art, music, it's all serviceable if nothing to write home about; it does its job well which is tell a fairly solid story especially as far as this genre goes. There are also a few parts here and there that bring it higher than the sum of its parts. First impressions, I give it a solid 4/5. For reference on that scale, Katawa Shoujo is a 5/5 whereas the average Winged Cloud Sakura game is a 3/5. I am blessed to have not encountered a 2/5 or, god forbid, a 1/5.
However I am not impressed by the 18+ segments added by the patch. No I will not tell you how to do it here. The art? Totally fine, and not what I'm concerned about. The writing? It's cringe. It's like a totally different person wrote it. Frankly, I think it's an embarrassing blemish on an otherwise fine VN. However, that's not a part of the steam release itself, which is what I am reviewing here.
Don't often write reviews, especially on this account.
This game is exactly what I look for when purchasing a VN. The characters felt fleshed out and realised, the story touches on some very sensitive topics whilst never losing the overall "upbeat" feel from the game (although some of the darker moments were handled very well) and to be honest, you will really appreciate ever girl for what they bring to the story.
I thought I would be bored still by Julie but to be honest, her arc made some real deep connections with events in my own life.
Only downsides, if they can be called that, are the H scenes being a little too long in some instances, and the text within them ... just take the time to read it ok? I have never laughed so much at moments like this! Hard to consider it a raunchy scene with some of Producer-San's dialogue XD
Good plot.
We need Chinese!!!

[18+ ADV] アイドル達のマネージャーとして彼女たちを育性せよ。18+DLCあり。
Wow... I really enjoyed getting to know all the characters and the Starnova story(s)!
Here's hoping for "Shining Song Starnova: 3" ;)
I was pleasantly surprised with this VN, especially considering that it isn't from Japan. I do appreciate that there is some Japanese voice acting, although only a handful of scenes are voice while the remaining lines are either unvoiced or reuse generic expressions (which tend to get a bit annoying). I will say that the character designs grew on me, although they're far from the quality of certain other idol series.
As far as the story goes, there are three parts; the first part introduces you to your idols; in the second part, your idols "compete" for the center position, after which you get to choose the winner (except Sasami who requires the other routes to be completed); then the third part focuses on who you chose, and has a good or bad ending based on a single decision. The first two parts take about 8 hours, and each route in the last part takes about 2 hours each. Overall, this is a solid read if you like idols, but do be aware that there are some sensitive topics involved.
For the "bonus" content: [spoiler]each route has 3 animated H-scenes, and some routes have extra non-animated H-scenes. There is also 3 bonus H-scenes for completing all routes and reading the "onsen" story.[/spoiler]
About an hour of playtime...
5% completion...
This... is not gonna look good
10/10 would waste more time on this

Nemunemu Shine!
This is a very good visual novel. High quality, very very long. Some routes are better than others, but that's a subjective thing anyways. I laughed, I cried, I felt happy; so many feels. I loved every aspect of it. I definitely recommend it. The 7th route is worth it and there's a reason you have to complete all the other 6 first, which is obvious once you do it.
WRITTEN SO WELL AND DEALS WITH A LOT OF MATURE THEMES. 【8/10】
Acabo de terminar a rota da Mariya e posso dizer que... O mundo das idols é assustador
Aviso de amigo:[u] Depressão na certa ver os good endings e saber que vc nunca vai ter um pq é um fracassado [/u]
Recomendo
milkers go brrrr
Всем привет. Мой первый отзыв, сам не ожидал, что он будет по игре такого формата.
Если вы расчитываете только на контент, то стоит брать по акции, если готовы потратить своё время на чтение, стоит своих денег и так. Сам взял со скидкой.
Пришедших сюда за картинками R+, ждёт контент на 9/10. Доступен пропуском всей истории минут за 15.
Очивки набиваются выбором хороших концовок, для получения всех сцен потребуется также выбор одной плохой.
Если же, вы как и я решите потратить время и почитать историю, то вас ждут захватывающие 20 - 30 часов. Для каждой из героинь прописана полноценная история, достойная ознакомления с ней.
Есть значимые выборы для плохой и хорошей концовки, есть те, что влияют только на пару кадров.
Есть русская локализация в руководствах, качество хорошее, есть шутки и отсылки.
Дам только один совет: если вы не любите спойлеры, ветку Сасами читайте в конце.
Всем удачи и милого [strike]кошкодевочку[/strike] идола
Only 28% of people have gotten the achievement for finishing this VN. That should tell you everything. When the writing is good it can be pretty good. It certainly explores interesting aspects of the entertainment industry that I want to see explored in more media. However, when the writing goes to ♥♥♥♥ it really goes to ♥♥♥♥ and some characters just aren't interesting in the slightest. The "Main" girl is definitely the least interesting out of all of them, but you also can't do her route until you've done the other six much more interesting and whole stories. The final route honestly feels like a recap of the others instead of really adding much new to the story, with the exception of the most point blank and obvious themes one can think of (that have already been touched on in the other routes anyway). I won't say it's a worthless experience, but it's definitely the worst of what Love in Space has to offer.
:З
Великолепная новелла. Разработчики, как и в случае с Sunrider Academy, уделили большое внимание качеству картинки и характерам персонажей, каждый герой колоритен и интересен. Все сцены с крупным планом выполнены выше всех похвал, даже возникает желание зайти в галерею и полюбоваться (особенно на Джули в юкате). Кто-то, возможно, подумал, что я о хентае, но я сейчас не о нём :)
Однако "Их есть у меня!" - скажет вам Старнова. Этого Добра в ней предостаточно и очень качественного, причем на этот раз анимированного и озвученного.
По геймплею. К счастью, на этот раз игроку не придется прокликивать сотню дней, чтобы пройти тот или иной рут. Можно просто погрузиться в историю, отвлечься от своих проблем и кайфовать, изредка делая важные выборы. В каком-то смысле, полная противоположность Санрайдера. Ну кто понял, тот поймет, привет из клубов и качалки =)
Если раздумываете, какую новеллу пройти, это ваш выбор. Каждый рут хочется пройти и на этот раз для их открытия не нужно никаких особых действий, вообще никаких действий не надо. Выбирайте и наслаждайтесь историей.
В заключение скажу: Джули топ <3
无中无云，R18质量非常一般.
cg's in this game are pretty hot, like me some crazy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ too 10/10
叫聲還行 CG蠻難用的 實用度不高
The balance of humor, tension, and romance is in my sweet spot. "Why do we go through it all? We love idols."
The characters speak to the writer and the reader in these stories, gently enough as to keep the fourth wall standing firm. I love it.
very yellow
У этой игры критически мало поддержки, обзоров и хвалебных отзывов. Что я могу сказать о этой игре, что уже не было сказано? Как минимум то что она отлично раскрывает тему Идол индустрии и показывает все ее грехи и прочее. Если вы любите серьезные визуальные новеллы, с интересным сюжетом и героями, даже может с долькой юмора, то эта новелла вам подойдет, уж за свои то деньги точно. Жалко что настолько хорошие продукты как Старнова затмевают популярные пустышки типа Бесконечного Лета. В общем играем всей семьей, игра стоящая.
P.S Пару слов про Х контент. Не бесит и не мешает погружаться в игру. Можно сказать даже ее дополняет в кой-то степени. Ну все, теперь я точно побежал.
It's a good game. I actually liked the characters a lot. The only bad thing is the absolutely terrible writing for the sex scenes. If you don't mind that, you'll probably like the game a lot.
One of the best dating SIM's I've ever layed my hands upon. The characters are deeply modelled with their own respective backstory and trauma. I just finished the game today (99%, can't find the last %-tile :'D). Truly a blissful adventure to behold and cherish.
感觉还行吧，但还是去买霓虹的，这个有点作画崩坏
This game is so amazing and reccomended. so many beautiful girls
