There are mixed reviews about that game, so I'll enumerate the main points I like and dislike about it:"Power Vacuum" Is it good? At first glance I just thought we would be in the shoes of a brainless muscular fool.
I've never played it so that's why I'm asking.
Pros:
- It is conveniently divided into well-defined chapters (clear beginning, development, and end). It might sound ridiculous, but it helps me to "cut" clean a reading without leaving a too annoying hang cliff. You can stop at the end of the chapter and won't have the strong feeling something's missing.
- Every LI is well written (character traits, motives, likes, and dislikes), and their relationship with the MC is unique.
- MC evolves from a "brainless muscular fool" to a somewhat less brainless (still quite dumb, IMHO) during the story.
- The NTR is the consequence of bad decisions made by the MC. If you choose the right options, you don't get to see them. If you choose the bad ones, the game takes you to the decision-making point, so you can rectify, making the NTR "endings" not the canon ending.
- Good art (renders, animations).
- The stories (both the main arc and side stories) are interesting, and related to each other with enough order not to lose sense or cohesion as they go.
- It seems the dev is rather absent. Not too many updates, not constant and the story seems to be being updated with drop counts.
- MC is quite dumb, it's hard to relate to him. Makes poor decisions based on nearly no rationalizing.
- While I like several traits of their characters, LI's are barely above stupid regarding the antagonist. I mean, it's crystal clear, and pretty much any woman I know would figure out something's wrong with the antagonist's antics, but for some reason, they are rather confident in him. It feels weird considering how they actively distrust the MC even tho they had no contact with him for years, while the antagonist is very clearly perving them.
