I was pleasantly surprised with this game. The action and management elements are fairly well done, the class/leveling system too was better than I expected. Sexual scenes are pretty good and have adequate buildup/tension, the girls are cute as fuck and have their own merits and niches.
I can't say how balanced the various "builds" are, but I had enough success with the Wind abilities (with increased Defense and Energy), to recommend it. Makes grinding a bit faster with the AoE ability, and it seems to be more energy efficient, especially in VN battles.
Some feedback:
- I think the dialogue fluctuates a bit too much between silly and mature. An obvious example is the difference between how MC acts with Lisha and Erick. In the first interaction MC is the perfect gentleman, very considerate of her feelings and circumstances, and really helps her find herself. In the second interaction he acts like a 14 yo who saw boobs for the first time. I have some trouble getting behind the "boys will be boys" mantra, because I find some of the interactions with Erick way too juvenile and the humor doesn't hit the spot for me. I think their banter has a lot of room for improvement.
- There exist scenes with major implications, but they are so isolated that it feels like they only exist to drive some side content. Some examples:
1) The pheromones monster for example makes an appearence exactly twice, and both times it has HUGE implications. Aside from these two interactions, it seems like it doesn't have any reason for existing. It goes a bit beyond what I consider Deus ex machina.
2) There exists a gas that outright kills Genex and instead of everyone going absolutely crazy about it, it's just some side content for Kate's alter ego, which is already stretched considering that she is just a human.
______________
All in all, the game is enjoyable and these things are fairly easy to ignore. For me, the verbal interactions during action and romance/sex scenes take precedence and they are fairly good and balanced up to this point.
Best of luck going forward.
