A Little Lily Princess is lite on the Yuri, heavy on the drama and heartstring-tugging, and just right in the time-spent department.

The story follows young Sara as she leaves her father in India to become a "proper English girl" at a school in London. There are ups and most certainly downs along the way. The common route is all about Sara, but the individual routes focus on the different girls/women that Sara meets while there and the relationships that develop.

If you're looking for deep yuri, this isn't it. While there are 6 routes you can take, only a few focus more on the romance side; the rest tend to be about familial love and bonds that form between the girls.

While I whole-heartedly recommend this VN, I wasn't a fan of the "gameplay" where you must accumulate specific stats to reveal individual scenes with your chosen girl(s). It all felt a bit random and unecessary. I can understand the point in doing so, but if I became "blocked" due to bad luck with the RNG, I felt compelled to save scum and reload until I got what I needed.

Also, the "payoff" felt more satisfying in certain routes; but that could simply be because I felt more personally attached to those characters.

All-in-all, time well spent, and for once I ACTUALLY read all 6 routes. Well, I skimmed Lottie a little.
