Review

LoveKami Useless Goddess is the latest installment of the LoveKami set of Visual Novels. This Visual Novel continues the LoveKami world by introducing a couple of new concepts as and unlike the others it only adds two new Goddesses to the list of love interests. That said don't fret there is a third love interest you can charm that isn't a Goddess but instead and human and childhood friend of the Protag.

In this Visual Novel based in the LoveKami World (check out my previous blog on LoveKami Divine State to understand this world more in-depth). In this LoveKami Visual Novel they added a new concept that plays a big role in this story. In this Visual Novel you are introduced to the term 'Aragami' which is a Goddess that does not adhere to the rules set forth by the Japanese Goddess Educational Act which was designed to help the Goddess integrate into human society. Instead they believe that as Goddess they have the right to do things their own way and how they see fit even if that means they become a problem to humans in doing so.

In this Visual Novel you play as the protag named Sho. Sho is your average college student and lives in a boarding house with his childhood friend and new 'Landlady'. On one evening while returning to his home after making a run to a local store for food he runs into the first of the Goddesses Akane. 

Akane is a Goddess who is classified as an Aragami and is currently under rehabilitation to get her powers under control to cause fewer problems with humans. She is a wildcard and lacks the ability to control her emotions which makes her an emotional rollercoaster. She is a bit lazy and tends to be selfish as far as Goddesses go. Due to her emotional state she tends to use her powers without really wanting to and that cases a great deal of problems for the town she lives in even if she doesn't really want to cause problems. She is one of the Goddesses that Sho can take an interest in.

Akane is being rehabilitated by another Goddess named Inori.

Inori is the area Earth Goddess and is charged with rehabilitating Akane as a Goddess that resides within her area of protection and control. Inori is the polar opposite of Akane in that she is quiet, reserved, and very mild-mannered and humble. She places the lives of the people in her area over her own happiness and derives her happiness from theirs. She does have a slight temper when it comes to Akane though and that can cause an issue when it gives Akane reason to cause problems. Like Akane she is one of the love interests of Sho.

Because of her ties to Akane and her rehabilitation, she and Akane are allowed to live in the same boarding house as Sho and his childhood friend and Land Lady Maika.

Maika is not a Goddess at all and instead is just human like Sho. Sho and Maika grew up together and in the boarding house that Maika now runs. It was handed down to Maika by her parents who are now retired and have moved off to live off their retirement. Maika is a homemaker and very down to earth. That said she also has a bit of a shy side that she doesn't so very much. She also hides the fact that despite growing up with Sho and being his best friend she also has a crush on him.

Maika is one of the love interests of Sho and has her own ending.

This Visual Novel like the other two produced in the LoveKami world is done simply with only one real question and that is being of course which girl you want to end up with. This Visual Novel like the others are very direct and simple in overall design, that said I don't mean that in a negative way. I enjoy the story of this Visual Novel greatly and the graphics, and music are well done and lend themselves greatly to this Visual Novel. The only drawback I can say about this particular Visual Novel was the fact that it felt shorter than the others and the stories seemed to end very abruptly to me compared to the other two. 

All in all I do believe this Visual Novel is worth the money to get and play through and I hope to see a fourth installment of the LoveKami world at a later date.
