Junpei is literally a trope walking. Mitsuru is the quiet, stoic Ice Queen trope. You have the stereotypical tsundere, Akihiko is pretty tyical...

The "too tropey" thing is an excuse tbh.

The plot is also as poorly written & childish as the characters are, so idk! I really don't think so.

Yeah, tropes apply to them, but they still have actual depth alongside those tropes, instead of everything being written like some kind of shitty harem anime. Junpei is comic relief, but in many scenes, like anything with Chidori, he's allowed to be serious. The plot moves forward based on the characters' actions, rather than the characters changing for whatever the plot requires at any given moment.

Like, Makoto has no personality whatsoever other than "token waifu". Ann is (also) nothing but a fanservice character. Yusuke is nothing but a walking joke. One of the links is about banging your homeroom teacher slash prostitute maid, which speaks for itself. The only link I could tolerate in the entire game was that politician guy.

Then there's Akechi. Like, man, I still can't even tell if it was meant to be a twist that he was the bad guy? Not to mention how terribly the whole "deliberately omitting parts of scenes from the audience as an attempt to make the 'this was the plan all along' shocking" thing was executed. Talk about unnecessary.
