VN - Ren'Py - 12 Goddesses [v0.13] [HKProduction]

I enjoyed what I played. It kind of felt like I was playing Shenmue, but with porn and somehow more weird. The humor in the game gets a laugh out of me every now and then. I felt like the transitions sometimes were very confusing though.

Also, plz add more Icy screen time. K thx.

I totally forget give a review now is the time.
First thing I wanted to say this game I personally don't think this game deserves less than 3 stars, and why I said?
1st Graphics, I have played alot of HS2 games and I personally think game have one of the best quality in Graphics, because of this I will give 1 star because of this.
2nd Every lis have good figure like no one can hide the that every lis looks good despite you know ......... what I am talking about? Because of this I will give one more star.
3rd story is kinda nice with some superpower stuff I like the story tbh I'm here only because of superpower tag and another star for this.
Tbh it's deserve 4 star but many thing about this game I don't like and also I can explain much more than that but I thought meh I'm not in the mood to write and essay.
Anyway this game is not my cup of tea but still I believe this game won't deserve less than 3 star only because of my personal opinion and choices I can't say this game is not worth playing or this game sucks or anything and I honestly think game would be amazing if deb change some things but despite everything you have decent amount of people who like yer game and people who support yer game, I wish you good luck.
Honestly even though I don't like this game I can't hide the fact that I enjoyed this game so far sure some of the scenes I don't like, like not at all but still this game is surely worth a try that's all I have to say good luck with yer journey.

Usually when I write reviews I try to give an overview of the setting, the story, the characters etc. I won't do that here because this game is way too rich for that. I will outline the plot for those who are interested but there are other things I want to talk about.

This game is supposed to be about some old guy who dies and his soul inhibits some kid. However don't expect to see some drama related to second chances. The prologue is a bit odd and sets a false precedent. You will spend probably an hour getting absolutely humiliated by the various situations that arise and wonder if it's worth your time. MC literally doesn't seem to catch a break and he looks like irreparably damaged goods. It also throws oil to the fire by using juvenile humor to humiliate the player ever further.

This is a deception. The game is a full on Power Fantasy that once it gets going, it kicks all other power fantasies in the face. Saying that MC won the genetic lottery is the understatement of the millenium. The reason I'm telling you this, is because humiliation along with the huge loredump can make the player nervous and unwilling to put up with it.

I have zero knowledge of Vietnamese mythology and the source material, however I found it entertaining and despite the HUGE exposition, I was able to mostly keep up because the more "mechanical" aspects are well-presented and to the point. The setting is urban high fantasy with retro elements and magic works in a very specific way. The short of it is that there are rankings for everything related to power. Magical potency rankings, Magical accumulation rankings, alternate form rankings, knowledge rankings, crafting rankings. It never stops. For those who have nerdy tendencies this is going to be extremely inspiring. It may tire others though, prepare to pay attention because the lore is referenced in pretty much every scene.

Visually the game is surprisingly good. Looking at the preview pictures I thought it'd be average at best, but that's not the case. The female models are hot and the male models are badass. The action scenes have adequate detail, the animations are good, the audio is fitting, the english are perfectly fine. From a technical perspective it's very solid game.

I quite like MC. At first he looks a bit like a loser, then he gradually manages to punch significantly above his weight class. He is funny, curious and doesn't take himself too seriously, which is something that I like.

The game features a big cast. Lots of men and women, agendas, infighting, character development. There's a lot going on.
The models are well designed and so far I liked all the girls. Also the male models are surprisingly good for an HS game.

All in all, I liked the game a lot. Despite a bad first impression, once I understood what it is, it won me over. If you are a fan of the urban fantasy genre / Wuxia cultivation, you should give it a try.

it is one amazing game. Lots of good humor, a great storyline, and amazing timing make this an overall great experience. The underdog story is always a fan-favorite and combining it with an Asian mythological twist makes the story much more interesting

I've been following the VN for a while now, and I look forward to every update. I am much more interested in a good plot, good storytelling, and interesting characters than in graphical quality. This game has a really interesting plot, with reasonably good storytelling. The characters and characterization are relatively limited, but in combination with the progression of the story and the developing skills and abilities of the MC as he faces and overcomes varied challenges the overall effect makes me want to hear more and learn what happens next.

------------------------------
Avg: 3.14/10 [2/5]

To say that I've been avoiding this one is a bit of an understatement. I have TRIED to get past the opening and the mountains of useless lore. But I never could. So, this time around, I'm going to try forcing myself to play through it. No only to see if these glowing reviews are made by people that don't read. But also to know if there's anything that could be considered good somewhere deep down. Everything I remember is: MC is insufferable, perverted, and just generally unpleasant. None of the humor lands. There's too much world building, in the sense that the dev STOPS you from playing/advancing to explain every minute detail of this uninteresting piece of lore, repeatedly. The jokes and emphasis on MC's flaccid, useless penis happen almost as much as the lore dumps. And all in stellar broken English. So all that grating, trite, uninteresting stuff provides a giant barrier for entry. But I am going to try to make it to end of current content, if nothing else, so I don't have to try ever again. As always, this is started before getting into the game (And generally my reviews are me bitching as I trudge through the story)

You start as MC, his name's supposed to be "Biden Joe" because funny haha... But he's an old degenerate pervert that dies, reincarnates as a rapist about to die, dies again, and then in some kids body. Assisted BY GOOGLE. Didn't even change the spelling to something that isn't directly a possible lawsuit waiting to happen? But this isn't my game, not my circus. Anywho, he has Google in his head, some "Ancient knowledge artifact" that does direct lore dumps into MC's brain so he doesn't come off as stupid as he actually is. Even though he's still only as mentally sound as a ham sandwich. He has no energy, knows nothing, and makes every mistake possible. His dick doesn't work, the country makes fun of him for it and for being stupid. I will say, part of that isn't his fault. But I do solemnly believe that if he were the original owner of the body, he'd still have made the same dumb choices. Moving on, you meet MC's fiancee Lily... And her mother Lilian? Really working those writing muscles. They came to call off the wedding because MC is useless and pathetic. Then, insulted, Darla beats up Lily's dad and they leave. The Engagement is off. It then cuts to "A beautiful woman wearing glasses" But she has no glasses. Stuff like this means they either don't edit, or don't look at the images they use after slapping shovelware together. Either way, the scene tells that MC got a perfect score on his quiz and they think he's a genius. Even though we all know, google gave him the answers.

Eventually we get to the school. MC tries to get put in the female dorms by saying he identifies as female. Wow, so funny. BUT, they make that poor taste humor a reality because MC's roommate is a woman. The same... "Joke..." Twice in a row. At least MC gets hit in the face, because I want that for him. He's also sure to constantly ogle every woman that exists, so, if that doesn't annoy you, I'm jealous. MC gets to his first class, and the 'joke' here is the teacher is senator Armstrong from Metal Gear, except, he has a woman's voice because steroid joke. His pubes also constantly clip through his pants, so have fun looking at that. And, in MC's infinite wisdom, instead of asking the magic being in his head, shouts to the class "Can magic help with sex?" This bothers me for two reasons. One, why ask this dumb shit in front of a class? And two, he's supposed to be the 'smartest,' why ask such a stupid question? Next class, he shouts I'll tell you if you kiss me. Is he 8? Is this elementary school? Because he sat down thinking "This girl has more developed breasts than girls her age" Women, on average, stop developing around 18, they're in college? Then, Natalie(the teacher) says he's just a small boy. It honestly feels like this section was written for another game where everyone was underage, thank god that didn't happen. He never actually tells them anything and gets two kisses anyway. And if you go to the bathroom afterwards, Nayomi is in there and shouts "pervert, hentai." Now, I want to say this. Your English sucks, you're not Japanese. Why add japanese to your poorly translated vietnamese story? None of this has anime vibes, why is this here?

The japanese continues, you see Darla say she's gonna marry MC in a lore dump, then ANOTHER LORE DUMP. Followed by a fucking trump reference, saying he's jealous of MC. It's at this point I do not think I'm going to be able to make it through this dumpster fire. Everyone is jealous or infatuated with MC for no reason. The story is just folklore with sex or mild sexual assult and memes thrown in. The visuals are bad for HS CGs. And NONE of the characters are any good. I'm looking, but I don't see even a 3 star game here. They copy pasted mountains of old stories, put in a bunch of bad jokes, even added QTEs and minigames. But they forgot to make a good story. Or good characters. This is the second game I've not been able to finish before reviewing

Honestly, unless whatever folklore this is from interests you, or HS games REALLY do it for you, skip this. The Enlgish is bad, UI/UX is dead stock. The CGs aren't even that good, it's all blown out HS default animations. The whole story is MC's quest to have a working penis to have sex with his 'NOT'mom. And even then he's a "funni joke" being Joe Biden as a horny teenager in a world where Vietnam is the only place left. All the characters make fun of MC, rightfully so, until his dumb cheat codes activate and he beats "Unpleasant lacky #4" or whatever to prove them "wrong..." If you want a better experience watching someone on a quest for a working penis, go watch Jobless Reincarnation. But this feels so low effort and low brow that it just gives me a headache.

This would be 4 stars if the mini-games were skippable. I'll update it if that changes, but right now they make it far less enjoyable to play. Otherwise, the story is different and myth/lore is a nice change from the usual.

Game with excellent plot. One thing that I mostly like is the MC who has amazing power. Graphics are pretty good too. And the games keep getting better and better with the update. Hope it will stay the same. Keep up the good work dev .

Man, this is pure gold. The story, sex, comedy is of top level. I would say the best visual novel I played in the year 2023 till August month. The power dynamics explained in the story is so deep and easily explained that one cannot believe it as a visual novel rather a series or comic story.

Version played 0.7


As always not a full review just a quick collection of thoughts pressed into something hopefully at least a tiny bit coherent.


To start with if you are coming for great / unique visuals, this is mostly just honey select, can’t make any more of it. Characters thus look somewhat generic, but at least they are not copy pasted.

So visually really nothing good.

The choice of girls is also somewhat monotonous even for honey select, they really seem to love their larger breasts. Not really my taste but that’s just personal preference.

The mini games are really generic: QTE, click on the right object, button mash and click on the right place on a slider. Most are pretty easy I will however say that the clicking on the slider can be difficult for some people it may not be bad to tone that one down a bit in difficulty.


Then there is the writing, as a dyslectic I can read past bad grammar rather easily but, it’s pretty clear it isn’t great in this one.

In terms of scenes there are a lot of dream scenes especially at the start, while they make sense from the plot, they never really do anything for me.

Luckily it’s not all bad.

The story is really what lifts it up, it’s unique works rather well and ties everything together in some pretty good power fantasy. The characters are great and it just works really well. While I may not have written a lot of words about it, it really does matter and turn a forgettable porn game into something worthwhile.

There's something there, but it's not enough.

The story is fun, when we actually see it. There are more than a few fourth wall breaks, too many minigames, and far too much dream sex.
- Fourth wall breaks can add some humor, but these don't. They just break immersion.
- Are you going to fight? Minigame. Are you going to craft? Minigame. Multiple, even. I just want a story.
- Dream sex, how I hate thee. For one, dream sex ruins the build up and anticipation. And there are several, even with characters I was actively not pursuing.

The story is fun. You need to get past the little bit of humiliation before you can actually stand on your own two feet. During the story, though, there are a lot of pauses for history lessons, or explaining how the systems work and what the ranks mean, etc. If you trimmed all that away, or at least into just a few frames each, it'd be much better, but they can go on and on.

Then there are the choices. You do get your pick of LI, but often decisions make you pick between who you'll earn points with. Fine, I can accept that. There are also choices that lead to a game over screen. Game over screens aren't needed. They don't advance the story, they end it. Just have the MC make the right choice.

Sex scenes. Animations are fine. There's some clipping issues, but it's not my biggest issue. What isn't okay is the narration during these scenes. I don't know if the writer knows there are synonyms to "penis" and "vagina" and they are used way too... it feels more technical than it is hot/sexy. It makes them kind of unenjoyable.

Overall, fun story, a lot of it is hard to follow or just drowns you in information you'll quickly forget. I get that it is based on an old story that I've never read, but... this is just... mediocre.

Sadly I didn't enjoyed the game, the plot is extra stupid, didn't really liked the humour as well. Render and character models are mid and honestly this game could be abit more better if the old man biden wasn't such a cuck/perverted. The starting itself made me quit. Welp, the game is not for me I guess. If you are just looking to skip and fap, well then the game is for you other than that nothing much stand out

V0.6

Excellent game with a good story and great characters, the individuality of the characters are quite unique and the humor is good too.

The routes for each of the character is in the initial stages and will surely develop as they move further so moving forward i am sure it will be even better.

If it keeps going in this direction surely will garner lot of attention.

Good game 10/10

I really love most of the game I think the sex scenese are very hot and good animated, the characters look sexy, and I even like the story idea.
But I can´t enjoy any of it I think the writing is trash and that the story is too unfocused , the characters are used too little so I can´t build a connection.

I think this game really had to be a sandbox but that´s just my opinion I don´t think this game is bad but it wansn´t for me, so I would say it worth checking out.

Good game so far. I like the story, to me it's akin a bit to reading fantasy cultivator manhwas. Graphics just as usual and i don't really quite liking the story. I also like the minigames it brought fun with the silliness of the story. The story is fantastic parodying the inhabitants of this site and also those manhwa, manga, manhua OP bullshit MC readers. Top Notch for my humor

The part i don't like is the game still have far way to go. Also focus more on main story rather than the 177013 side story parody. Also sorry can't support in terms of finance

Pretty good. I love that they are based on a web novel since there is more to it than just romance. I didn't read the novel but it follows the tropes in them pretty well and they're fine. We will have to see if the protagonist becomes more cruel as the story progresses or not (as usually happens in these novels), it would be something I would love to see. Although I doubt that if it happens they will replicate it here (you know, the extermination of clans and mass murders, etc). I wish someone would do the same with the web novel Grasping Evil, which has women for this kind of game and a great story.

As of V 0.6
Excellent game I didn't expect this game to have an amazing story involving vietnamese mythology . I loved playing it and writing with humor in the story is worth mentioning . Diverse female charecters and though it has 3 male friends for MC , they are not annoying unlike other VN . Music and voice acting to certain female charecters is nicely done . And though I hate mini games while playing VN , in this one it was decent and easy but I found it hard in the later parts of the game , it would be nice with a skip option for mini games as it seems to be more difficult in the future . And it would be nice to see what choices lead to what outcome and points ( optional ) as in 1 st walkthrough , I wasn't able to unlock Harem route and after knowing that there is a " PATH " in the quick menu which I had to check for every choice and ultimately finished latest version with Harem route . Overall 5 Sstars for me if you love stories in VN like me , give it a go . Highly recommended and looking forward to next release .

Whatever this is i liked it. Cliché humor, peculiar characters but good enough to engage with. Need a little bit of steady flow because story feels confusing till now. I did bookmark this. Liked those metaness in particular between some pussy moments, at some point questioned my potency too couple of times thought where should i search Goddess in this part of the world

If you love murim manhwa and cultivation stuffs in wuxia novels, this game will be a blast for you! Cultivations, Internal energy, martial arts, realm stages, alchemy, myth and folklores, revenge, sect and clan, the models, character design, smoot as fuck animations. I. LOVE. IT. I have learned a lot of vietnamese myth thanks to this game, and this is a new breath of fresh air to me since I used to the wuxia/murim myths and lore.

This game is stupid and the dev didn't even try to hide it. I didn't expect to enjoy this VN this much. I know I am being biased since I grow up used to these wuxia cliché. but I really love this VN, If I have some spare money I will support the dev for sure. 9.5/10 for me.

Suggestion for the future (my selfish request)

• I think mc should be a bit more muscular and taller after training arc with the soul lieutenants since he receive a tons of beating.
• I hope the dev make like a tanned toned body tomboy as a new rival or friend, like this (or something familiar). No offence to Nayomi/Naomi she's a cute tsundere, but sometimes I wish their were a THICKER "asset" tomboy. Since this game's universe is full of martial arts and strong people, a tomboy would be nice

Edit

I've decided to up my rating from 3 to 4 coz I do see potential in the game after forcing myself to continue playing further than the v1 or 2 parts...the newer ones seem like the dev is moving in the right direction

The game still need a massive revamp tho with improvements like
= some aspects of the charracter models,
- the lighting,
- some grammar and syntax errors,
- differentiating mc speaking and thinking (maybe use italic font for when mc is thinking?)
- the characters actually doing as the dialogues say [eg. the dialogue says mc is pinching her nipples or groping her breasts, but the scene is the same as before without the fondling scene],
- viewing angles for sex scenes, etc

Previous Review

Just from playing the game for 10 minutes, I feel like the dev/devs need to seriously rework the character models as well as improve the lighting, position of characters, and their interactions...At the current state it feels like somebody took HS2 and plopped the character they made to a scene, and just left them there without caring about properly positioning them, lighting, graininess, etc (this might have been improved later on idk...but if the start is like this most will just quit the game before even reaching that point)

Plus the mc imagining the sex scene portion...
- Why is he invisible? (It just ruins the scene)
- Why does his dick look so bad? (if I had an erect dick like that I would have wished to be impotent )

Adding to this, the backgrounds I think needs to be created, just using pictures of real life to show the game world makes it feels very disconnected from the game and imo not very enjoyable (it comes off as the devs not putting enough effort into the game and just trying to cheese it)
