I personally think it is. I know this game has a lot of competition when it comes to the setting of it but I think once the game gets further developed hopefully more people will flock to it. I personally came here because I wanted to replace BaD and I'm very happy I did. People might think it's a rip off of that game (or the "poor-man's version" of it,) but I disagree. It might not be as in-depth as that game (tests, classes, hell week, etc) but the girls are all attractive, the renders are really good, and so far the story is interesting (maybe a little generic) but it's still a good game.
It does restrict LI routes very early on but I personally don't mind it. I also think it's tagged incorrectly for one category but that's my opinion. Hopefully like I said, once this game gets more meat on it, I think it'll get more attention.

Heyyy, looks like TLG fixed Rebecca's hair. She's a lot cuter than before.
Next, please fix Sung-ji's eyelids.

It is very heavily praised here in the thread, but it's only had 2 real updates, and the dev is mostly absent here. I think that is the main reason it isn't that popular yet.
The render quality is amazing, and almost all of the characters are quite compelling so far, though they could use a lot more individual character depth. But the game is just getting started, so we will see. With so many characters already, it is going to be difficult to really have a lot of depth, with with each one, unfortunately. I would have preferred 3 or 4 max, but that is just me. Others like to have dozens of LIs, with more superficial characters, to choose from (see WVM or Echhi Sensei for an extreme example, with 50+ LIs).
I think it is clear that "family" stories get the most attention here, so it doesn't surprise me that yet another college story doesn't immediately get a huge amount of popularity.
It is getting pretty good income on Patreon. About 2/3rs of the game Radiant, which blew up here like crazy, and also has just 2 updates.
I think the dev is taking things at his own pace, but updates every other month or more frequently, on some predictable schedule, and frequent postings on F95 BSing with the fans, would do a lot, I think, to make this game more popular, and lead to more Patreon support. Plus, with some teases of a more intricate story in the near future, and lots of content planned, I am confident AOA Academy will get more and more popular.
For me, it is impossible not to see the many comparisons with Being A Dik, starting with Jenny's model of course, but for me AoA takes the best qualities of Being a Dik, without all the BS of annoying minigames, unnecessary character drama, and silly college stereotypes that weigh BaD down, and make it a technical marvel, but not a lot of fun to play, IMO. AOA is a breath of fresh air, and I am very much looking forward to seeing what is to come.

1. Vicky
2. Rebecca
3. Ashley
Valery is #4. Poor girl. Honestly, this is a game where I find all of the LIs endearing, even Jade. TLG does an amazing job with facial expressions, so it's impossible to not enjoy seeing a character's happiness, or feel a character's pain.

New Instagram post: "Enjoying a day off with my best friend!"
Ya I noticed that with the hair in those shots - looks very good now. Good job TLG.

With only a couple updates I'd say this one is dead on track to become a runaway.. I've played the intro more then a handful of times just because of the emotions it pulls out of you.. Pretty damn sure this is one of those that Patreon support will turn into a full time gig. I'm happy for the DEV.

Yes, it seems that many out there are "family," even if you have to squint a bit. Unfortunately, there is a contingent that will not rest until every VN on this forum has incest. It's been a plague on the WVM thread lately.

I am genuinely enjoying this game, which is strange because I usually hate DAZ3d games.
But I'm a bit curious, because it seems like there's lewd content in this game, but aside from Jade's request of basically wanting to bone the shit out of me (and seeing a bugged text from her implying we did when i did not on my valery/ashley route), i haven't actually seen any lewd content. Seems a bit....strange, but I think the route I chose is narratively compatico with the events and choices that transpired, so I'm not necessarily mad at that.
It also seems like if I were closer with Jenny I might have been able to get from her what she was talking about with Val up in her room on the third day. But I don't have a lot of points with jenny because she's not that interesting to me. I'm torn as to whether I should get this knowledge because on one hand, I want to know, it draws me deeper into the lore of the game and I'm sure will make Valery a significantly more interesting character. But at the same time, it's not really realistic, and there seems to be a pretty strong impetus for realism in this game.
Either way, looking forward to more on that route, and the eventual battle for affection between Ashley and Valery. As an old school romantic, I commend thee for thine work, well done crafting a believable and entertaining title.
Oh, and P.S., Vicky needs a lot more screen time, and the MC's body looks like he was a victim of 1st or 2nd degree burns.

As of right now, all the lewd stuff is Jade, and one scene of Ms. Elizabeth solo'ng herself thinking about the MC. I'm sure there will be more in the future, but right now, it's all story stuff. Once you get closer to the girl(s) you're chasing, I'm pretty sure things will heat up. I don't think though it's going to be gratuitous (maybe except for Jade). This doesn't seem like that kind of story where there's going to be an overflow of sex stuff.
Just my opinion and the vibe I get from this game. As a person only on the Ashley route, I'm not expecting a lot for a while, nor does it matter to me.

Just curious though, why do a lot of people like to compare this game to BADIK?
I haven't played BADIK yet, should I give it a shot and how good is it?

there are some references to BaDIK
And so far (having played through most routes on BaDIK) entertainmentwise I find it one of the better VN's out there, storywise there are better ones probably, but its pretty good. Had a few good laughs.

Very similar setting. Young man leaves home to start college and befriends many hot ladies. There are tons of these, but BaDIK is the most prominent one. BaDIK is way better imo, if a little tedious (those minigames), and it's also been in production for a lot longer, so it has way more content.

And that's fine tbh, just concerned that a lot of people will pass this up due to the lack of sexy time fun with their favorite girl. However, narratively, this makes sense (more in line with reality too, i personally think.)

It'll happen, but in due time of course. I'm expecting there to be some really good intimate scenes in this game, but it's just going to be a while. I personally think once more chapters come into this game, and it gets more discussion and we get deeper into the story, hopefully it won't be as underrated as it is.
People make crappy shortcuts ...
... university + porn game = BaDIK
It's very reductive for both games. I don't think AOA is trying to be a BaDIK clone. Both games are very good at the moment, although AOA is still in its early stages.
I don't know what the size of future chapters will be, but it's a risk. There are a lot of girls, there are several interesting stories, it will not be easy to have a chapter that can deal with everything and everyone. You will have to be patient. I also think AOA is worth it.
