I love taka, airi and momoko. I want to see their events more especially taka
There's more characters that could use some love, but F.Lord was never fast with updates and considering there just was one and the other game he's working on it may take some time so we'd better have some patience ;)

I've never played this, just reading the Over View.

It sounds like the MC is the only male in the entire world, yet some how other people are being conceived but also the MC is so undesirable that despite being the only male no one wants any relations with him so he has to use magic to corrupt people just to get laid?

Basically every woman says; "I wouldn't fuck you if you were the last man on earth"
Pretty sad.
After playing it through, I was left the opposite impression. Almost everyone he meets wants to jump his bones but are too afraid of the consequences (his being the only dude alive sort of puts him on a holy pedestal). Others don't really care about it and just want to take him for a spin but are too shy/awkward to ask, and he's too much of a spineless wimp to make the first move, as male harem protags usually tend to be, so he's left in this sexless limbo until magic comes into play. Magic has sort of become a simple plot device though, because he really didn't need it, especially not when even the freaking queen wants a piece of that male salami without magic being involved.

It becomes infuriating to watch sometimes.

I think that might even be worse than what the overview suggests.

It would be nice if someone makes a mod or the creator himself orders the gallery scenes in chronological order, because I remember playing this many months ago and I wanted to remember the plot thread, but the gallery is a total mess next to the memories, thus you cannot refresh your memories.

Dark Magic is one of the best harem games in the scene. Hell I can say it's one of the best adult games in the scene. From writing to character designs and animation. Comedy in the game is really good and made me laugh many times. It's a 'happy game' in general and a harem game to the bones. If it's not your thing sure but I can recommend this game to everyone who likes harem 100%

It's showing its age. I appreciated the game for its time but modern graphics and sandbox mechanics have left this game in the dust. If I didn't have emotional investment due to following the updates for so long, I would absolutely not play this game at all. The animations are the exact ones you've seen in every other honey-select game. The sandbox is annoying to navigate even with the notepad guiding you combined with a lot of grind. I don't recommend this to new players even if they like harems, unless they have no experience with honey-select games.

The problem with this game is that F.Lord already needs a lot of time to come up with new updates. They're usually quite good and have a lot of content, especially the major ones.
But now he's also trying to develop a new game. And this will not go well for both games. We're already patiently waiting for two to three major updates per year for this game where he continues the main story as of now. Other games come up with frequent half a month to monthly updates that are quite similar when it comes to the amount of content.
I really like this game a lot even though it's technology is getting old. The story is very intriguing and also quite mystic. But just one major update per year if we are lucky simply won't do it.
And honestly, if he rushes this game or abandons it I will lose any interest in his new game. Because then the risk is too high that he will also rush or abandon the new one once he gets tired of it two to three years later. And my time is too precious for that experience.

Yup, sandbox games suck, but they suck less the better their sandbox navigation is. Games like this one, which require you to grind and constantly click through menus and search for content, are not one of those.
The game literally has minimal amount of grinding what are you talking about? It's not grindy at all. The only thing you have to grind a little is gold and you can solve it in 5 second with renpy save editor. Some of the best and extremely popular harem games are all sandbox. Harem Hotel, Corrupted Kingdoms, Myhtical Manor, What A Legend, Love of Magic, A House in the Rift, Treasure of Nadia, Sexnote, The Headmaster, Corruption, Taffy Tales, Champions of Realms, MIST ...etc. When it's done right, sandbox games are the best. Personally I like better than one and done vn games. Repeatable content and the world keeps the game alive for me while waiting for update. I occasionaly launch the game to fuck around while waiting for update. But when it's one and done games, I only play the game when there is new update. After that the game is dead. For example I can launch harem hotel to fuck around with my harem girls time to time wile I wait many months for new update on games like WVM. Just because you hate sandbox, not everybody needs to hate it. In fact they are extremely popular

The game has one of the best writings in the scene. Both sex dialogues and story dialogues. Comedy is literally gold when you compare to other adult games. Characters are hots as hell (esspecialy mom) and the sex scenes are really good. The facial expressions are also very well done.

Honestly If you hate sandbox games that much don't play it. It's that simple really. For example I don't like games with female protagonists at all. But you won't see me complain about games with female protagonists under that game's thread. I just ignore them
