COMMENTARY

Story - His story is one that will go in deeper on your life as a goddess because in the past (while the goddess was still alive), he had a relationship with her. So any confusion I had about the reincarnation of the goddess was cleared up all in Hue's route; I was confused in the other routes because it is noted that it's against the law to interfere with matters of life and death, and the MC being the reincarnation of a goddess means that someone had interfered with the death of the goddess. That 'someone' is Hue. However, as the story proceeded I felt confused for about three whole chapters on whether Hue was talking to the MC, the goddess, or both. Due to all this confusion, I took off 0.2, because three chapters isn't a very long confusion time... only about a half hour of me being confused.

Character Development - A brief overview of Hue's general personality is that he's level-headed, intelligent and logical. He doesn't believe in the concept of "destiny" because it's illogic. He also says things in a wordy and elaborate way, so sometimes it was a little confusing on what he was saying. However that didn't happen very often throughout the story so you don't need to worry about not understanding what he's saying. In addition to his exceptional intelligence, he also likes to tease you and sophisticatedly joke with you. However, I didn't really like that Voltage soon made him into some jumble-of-emotions god. At first he was confident in his decisions, motives and emotions... but a lot sooner than expected he started getting all lovey-dovey with the MC when it was most likely he never had any feelings for the MC, but rather the goddess. This disturbed me, and it happened multiple times throughout the main story so it ended up grating my nerves. It wasn't until the Blessed and Forbidden Ending that he was finally straightforward with his emotions once again.

Artwork - The artwork just gained a big "wow" from me; his CG's for nearly every story were colorful and sentimental. The colors were bright and vibrant in almost every CG, and they were honestly very beautifully drawn. This earns the exceptional award for the best artwork. The only thing is: there were some CG's were I was a little nervous; Hue was completely naked but from his waist down was below the water... and then Hue naked while making out with the MC... err, okay? (^_^")

Technical - Saw just a few spelling errors. Not very much and the story is still easy to read, so it's really no big deal. Grammar was decent as well. You will definitely not rage-quit just because of the technicality of Hue's story.

CONCLUSION

Well, the questions that MC asked about her "past life as a goddess" will be all somewhat thoroughly answered in Hue's route... in fact, if you're wondering which story to purchase first on Star-Crossed Myth, I would probably buy Huedhaut's route ($3.99USD) so then you can get a good foundation on MC's past life as a goddess.

I actually bought Dui (the god of Gemini) first... I think Hue was the third story I bought. Maybe I should've switched the order around, but oh well. His story was pretty decent for the most part.

It wasn't as dark as Scorpio but it wasn't as bright as Ichthys, so if you're one to not like going to the extremes with general atmosphere, then Hue is probably your character to read through ;)
