Bad ending is where you fail to enter a route and the games ends (usually in an unfulfilling manner), or when you fail to overcome a conflict in a route and the games ends (Almost always in an unfulfilling manner)

FIRST OF ALL, SET YOUR LOCALE TO JAPANESE LOCALE.

Download the torrent/individual parts and the english patch.

Extract everything from the torrent and put it on the desktop/in whatever folder you want.

Mount the first mds file titled something like, "Rewrite - Disc 1"

Once its mounted, click the "Run button" so that it runs the setup

The setup should all be in Japanese.

If you don't have DirectX, download that first, then download the game via the option with ”セットアップ” in the title. (That means Setup)

Choose whichever location you want.

In the middle of the download it will ask for a disc change, so mount the 2nd disc, DO NOT RUN, then click okay on your already installing game.

Click No if a box has this word in it, "ショトカット” or something very similar to it. That's asking if you want to make a shortcut, which you dont since your game isnt in english yet.

Once its finished run the english patch for Rewrite.

Choose the location that you chose and hit okay.

Once its done, run the application in the folder and it should be ready to play.

Make a shortcut of the Application if you want. That's what I did.

It is more superheroes than romance, but the girl you choose decides the story, so yeah.
There is also badass animation in it.
