Critic Reviews for The Crimson Flower that Divides: Lunar Coupling
The Crimson Flower that Divides: Lunar Coupling is a compelling, albeit flawed, otome.
The Crimson Flower that Divides: Lunar Coupling is an otome visual novel that's worth it for the genre fans but the English translation is lacking. The social and political context of the plot is enticing and brings up relevant discussions on power and sexism that stand out from any apparent romanticization of affect in a morally questionable context. We hope HuneX can fix these issues and work for the next games to have more care in translation quality as this is an essential element of the genre.

The Crimson Flower That Divides: Lunar Coupling is a game that puts its characters through hell and features a localization fraught with issues, but its heroine is absolutely wonderful.
Though it’s not necessarily my favorite otome to date, The Crimson Flower that Divides: Lunar Coupling is an excellent piece of work in terms of appreciation and dedication to the story and the player. The sheer amount of choices and nuanced results can lead to hours upon hours of replay, and the locked endings force a player who wants to find out more to actually walk the path before arriving at the destination.
