* FunnyAneurysmMoment: The [=ProJared=] route became this after the scandal that allegedly claimed the actual Jared had an affair with [[WebVideo/GameGrumps Holly Conrad]], who Hana strongly resembles. What's more, one scene in Jared's in-game route depicts him giving Hana {{gonk}}y glamour shots of himself, which unintentionally paralleled the actual Jared exchanging nude photographs with Holly during said alleged affair. %%As per the Rule Of Cautious Editing Judgment, let's leave it at that for Jared's privacy.

[[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment And let's leave it at that for Jared's privacy.]]

* SpiritualAdaptation: A short haired, bespectacled girl (one who lived in poverty beforehand) becomes a student at a prestigious school, is in constant contact (and holds the affections of) the resident popular club of pretty boys, and one of said pretty boys [[spoiler: has a DarkAndTroubledPast surrounding family]]. It's basically an Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub game. Also, to a slightly lesser extent (since Hana needs glasses, and Makino doesn't), it's a Manga/HanaYoriDango game.

* SisterShip: [[spoiler:In Jared and PBG's routes, whoever of the two isn't dating Hana will end up dating Mai.]]

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: It a dating sim based on real people, though fictionlised. That alone would be enough to ward some people off, but copied with the [=ProJared=], many who once loved the game have disowned it, with it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrFDhMV9VnQ being argued]] that the game was ''always'' destined to age poorly.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: The [=ProJared=] route quickly became this after it was revealed that the ''actual'' Jared had an affair with [[WebVideo/GameGrumps Holly Conrad]], who Hana strongly resembles. What's more, one scene in Jared's in-game route depicts him giving Hana {{gonk}}y glamour shots of himself, which unintentionally paralleled the revelation that the actual Jared exchanged nude photographs with Holly during their affair.

** Mai isn't even one of the guys and she is a fan favourite. Either you love her because she is the best friend ever or wish she had a route too.

* AbandonShip: Many fans respectfully did this with Satch/Hana after the real Satchell Drakes came out as gay, with many presuming it was the reason his route was largely platonic.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: In Jirard's route, it's hard to tell if Wallid actually knew [[spoiler:the Princess Pumpernickel he was giving Hana was a fake]]. On one hand, when he learns the truth, he seems genuinely surprised, and while he tried to insist [[spoiler:it was real]], he didn't seem nervous or desperate in doing so, making it seem like he truly believed it. On the other hand, [[spoiler:he was strangely secretive about where he got it when giving it to Hana, despite his later explanation being simply that a fan sent it to him, and he ''was'' still trying to blackmail Hana with it]].

* ThatOneLevel: Shane's entire route is considered this for the fanbase.

** The post credits scene after Satch's route is pretty weird.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Any time a RunningGag from one of the Normal Boots members' Youtube channels is referenced, such as when PBG is asked when the next episode of Minecraft Hardcore is coming out, or when [[spoiler: Jared's face is mangled by '''BEES!!!''']]

* LesYay: If Mai didn't have a crush on Jared anyone would think she is madly in love with Hana. She hugs Hana all the time, makes a pillow fort for her, keeps complimenting her, and even nuzzles her. ''All that before chapter 2''. Even after you start dating a guy she will still be on Hana, like teaching her how to kiss and immediatly asking if she wants to "practice". Many players were surprised to discover she isn't a GayOption.

* SpiritualAdaptation: A short haired, bispectacled girl (one who lived in poverty beforehand) becomes a student at a prestigious school, is in constant contact (and holds the affections of) the resident popular club of pretty boys, and one of said pretty boys [[spoiler: has a DarkAndTroubledPast surrounding family]]. It's basically an Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub game. Also, to a slightly lesser extent (since Hana needs glasses, and Makino doesn't), it's a Manga/HanaYoriDango game.

* ThatOneLevel: Shane's entire route is considered this for the fanbase.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The Kickstarter campaign didn't meet its stretch goal to [[GayOption add a male protagonist option.]] If it had been reached, the player would have been able to chose between Hana or Haru, and the male route would have included the male version of Mai. However, the bulk of the game would have been largely the same, just with some small changes to accommodate the alternate protagonist.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The Jacques route is ''extremely'' bizarre, and takes a harsh shift in tone from the rest of the game.

CUT LIST

* FanDumb: This is a visual novel where you date Youtubers who review videogames. ACTUAL living Youtubers, drawn in faux-shoujo style. The writing is atrociously reminiscent of bad fanfiction and some paths are more complete-feeling than others. They somehow convinced the actual Youtubers to voice act so you'd be forgiven for thinking this is a tongue-in-cheek parody but sadly this is not the case. One of the Youtubers even LP'd this game, with his wife next to him. Both dressed as their respective characters from the game.
