This has happened to me several times: I found a work on DLsite where I liked the premise/theme/tag and it's rare but the performance is underwhelming. Recently it was a Wataru Mitsuhashi (I usually have to really like the premise to consider getting it) work. I'll have to pass on it, how about you?
When the voice drama premise is rare but the performance is disappointing: Pass or Buy?

id probably pass.. even if the idea is interesting, if it physically and mentally hurts to listen to (whether its because of bad acting, ugly voice, low sound quality etc), id just feel its a waste of money.
now, if someone generously uploads it for free on the other hand........ id give it another shot, but my opinion probably wouldnt change that much. id just be disappointed and go about my day. in fact, this has happened to me already. it was a group reverse rape audio. but the circle was pretty small (and the cover art was ai-generated cough), so i wouldnt expect masterful quality from it anyway. still, ryona otomemuke audios are extremely rare, so its not like i can be picky..:(
(if its okay with you, which mitsuhashi audio seemed underwhelming to you?:0)

RJ01491109 - I've been into the: Character finds FL's secret account and takes advantage of it trope lately, but sample-wise Mitsuhashi's voice feels pretty lifeless in this one/like reciting a script. Maybe since I've just been preferring more lively performances lately from Irodoori Kazuya, Yusei Nogi, Hirame Ichijou, aki, etc., but I know I really liked Mitsuhashi's Violet Bone android and a few others so I can like his works if I feel like he's put some intensity/clear emotionality into the performance. Also not ever sure how much is due to direction, so sometimes I may think: VA may be burned out producing too many works too often, but who knows.

interesting! i listened to the samples, and it seems like its just the personality of the character hes portraying in this audio. even the description says hes like a "black cat". guess its just not your type, which is totally cool of course:"3c hope there are more enjoyable audios for you in the future though<3
For sure, the interpreted character could just be too much of a cool type for me. Usually I think that a character who found out about FL's secret would be more gleeful about it if it's a major premise point. More that because it was a rare crossover of otouto x secret account discovery that I was disappointed it wasn't my cup of tea. I definitely have at least 15 other cds in my cart so it's a good thing.
