Needs more Tan-Sensei and less annoying little sister (unpopular opinion I know), but otherwise really enjoyed this so far. Can't wait for more.

played the game and liked it. It's shorter than i expected, mainly because it doesn't have that much of +18 content yet I think, and because it has lot of characters to introduce. If I had to summarize thoughts I had, good and "bad" :

+/- There are a lot of characters. That's a plus but also a minus. I like variety, but it feels like I'm overwhelmed to be honest. I counted at least 25+ girls already, and such a number at such an early state of the game is kinda problematic (at least for something as simple as from a story-telling point of view for your audience), even in an harem game.
In comparison WA (Waifu Academy) has at least as much girls MC could f*ck so far, but they were brought more gradually. Hot Springs feels like it wants me to swallow the whole classroom and teachers names in one mouthful (even if some girls have more focus than others obv). That's a bit complicated.

++ The models are gorgeous and animation is top notch. I like the 3D moving effects it has sometimes and all... But...

-- ... The girls don't stand out from each other. A lot of them look really the same. i don't know if it's because Devs want some realistic hair color and nothing like blue/green/etc hair and such but i don't know (but then we have the curator and Arisu with pure white hair and 2 girls with flashy pink hair).
We have a pair of official twins (Reiko and Ren), but there is also Maki and Megumi who are both pigtailed black hair girls and who don't seem related (at least as of now nothing was said). Then there are lot of others black hair girl : The new nurse Mizuki, the mom and big sis, Kasumi the class rep, The girl named Hiro is dark blue but so dark it's almost black.

And also like someone said in a previous post I've seen : so far the breast of every character feel the same (meaning : big). I love big melons too, but if everyone has a big chest it makes it bland at some point.
It's not a big "problem" but I feel like there is a lack of diversity. More physical difference between characters (hair, breast, body type, a nerdy girl etc...) would be more appreciated i think.


++ I like the mystery going on about why MC is the only guy at school. I can't find out why because so far I don't feel like the girls are against a guy being at the school. Some of them are a bit jealous of his results, and some others feel agressive and could be physical monsters (Chigusa, Rika) but that's all.

-- Talking about mystery though, I must admit I didn't understand what was going on on Day 1. Maybe it's me and I didn't pay attention enough, I probably need to play again and focus if I missed something, but on Day 1 I thought (at first) :
MC fainted at the school entrance, was brought to the infirmary, was "drugged" by the nurse and basically that was MC's day at school and then he went home. But yeah in reality, after his infirmary event with the nurse and woke up he had his normal school day and everyone interacted with him already and he got his memory back just as he arrives home.
I found it original (as a good thing) so that we can introduce characters little by little via flashbacks the next days, but it also confused me a lot about how and why it happened that way. That was really weird.
Talking about being confused, I had the exact same feeling during the Mika interaction. Like why did MC suddenly groped her breast at the school entrance. I wonder if there is some mind control or something going on (the little sis being a weird sleepwalker also) because sometimes the characters feel out of their mind.


+- not a bad thing but I don't know why I feel incredibly frustrated that MC doesn't have his pass yet x'D
I feel that's why the PE teacher called MC during the swimming class and next update he will get scolded (or a beating ^^) for not having his pass + went over the fence.


Overall it's cool. I hope the game is a success and popular enough and that updates don't happen once a year like a certain game I mentioned earlier.
There wasn't enough sex scenes for my taste so far but i admit the tease/funny ones were cool (akane at the pool, the sisters boob showing etc)

The update's too damn short... if you could put something more than just an H scene for the next update then its already good. Of course many of them and anything that advances the plot.
