With close to 400 VNs under my belt and my own one in development, I stopped writing reviews recently, I don't want to appear like I'm "shitting on the competition", so now I only write reviews if I have mostly good things to say. I needed to mention this as a disclaimer, so you see where I'm coming from with my critique, negative, or positive.
What drew me in the first moment was that you don't have the typical wealthy macho MC here who only has to lift a pinky to get his dick sucked. We have a middle-aged bum here whose only success stems from charisma and/or manipulation. That creates an immediate connection most other VNs don't. Let's be honest, most of us will have it easier to step in the shoes of this guy than some Elon Musk meets Johnny Sins kind of male specimen. This quality, to be just familiar enough to be relatable, but still unpredictable enough to be interesting is what draws you in, it's a motif that follows you through the entire VN.
The love interests aren't just different looking wet holes to dip your virtual stick into, they all have their own personas, interests, aspirations, reaching far beyond the regular VN where characters are only defined within the close confines of how they relate to the MC.
At the same time the writing is simple. Not simplistic, simple. No convoluted trains of thought, no theatrics, every character behaves and speaks how people normally do, everyone uses verbal and nonverbal mannerisms appropriate to their socioeconomic background. That's extremely rare to see and hard to get right.
Apart from the bumpy beginning and a - well justified - hiatus recently, the development cycle has been stable, dates were kept, leaving only people to complain about a schedule who don't bother reading the schedule, who don't care to bother with trying to understand how the tier of their patreon pledges influences their ETA of the material (for everyone else there's F95zone, am I right?).
What I haven't talked about yet, which for me is only the second most important aspect of a good story - visually represented or not - are the graphics. This is where I would say that the graphics are passable at best, if I wouldn't have any foreknowledge in rendering, and wouldn't know what kind of 10 year old potato of a laptop this VN has been made with. Since I do, I have to say that the developer has done an exceptional job with the hardware he's been given, but effort only goes so far, at the end of the day all that matters is the result. So the graphics are far from exceptional, but the developer still couldn't have done better, even if he wanted to, given his hardware limitations, which eventually factors into my scoring.
All in all I think this VN fully deserves a 4/5 rating, if I'm being fair, if I'm judging the entire body of work as a whole, instead of subjectively rating it superficially for its adequacy as fap material.
