So I'm gonna do a good old pros and cons, because it feels easier to express my opinion about the game this way.
Pros:
+ somewhat interesting fantasy story
+ many different and attractive LIs. I especially liked their body proportions, no oversized boobs on 4 out of 5 girls.
+ despite the quantity of LIs and this being a harem game, they aren't just brainless women whose main characteristics is to worship the MC
+ a lot of content. Anything else would be a big disappointment after 4 years, still a plus though, especially for new players.
Cons:
- sex scenes are pretty bad. I actually started to skip them at some point. They are not only pretty bland to beginn with, they are also all very similar.
- especially during Act 1 the renders are often very dark. In general the lighting is pretty bad
- alignments seem to make nearly no difference. I played an evil MC and never felt like I was playing an evil mage. I didn't expect to play a murdering psychopath and get a completely different story, but there was just nothing. Especially Act II seems to be very streamlined.
- too many LIs. I know, I also mentioned this as a pro, but the screentime of each LI is severely limited.
neutral:
- useless free roam sequences. They are mainly just annoying and not very time-consuming, that's why I didn't put them in the cons, but the game would be better without them.
- no animations (doesn't bother me personally, but seems to be important to some)
- fighting minigame (it's not very good, but can be skipped)
- render quality. Overall it's not terrible, but also far from good. Some pictures are outright ugly because of badly chosen backgrounds. Even the better backgrounds are not good though and often very distracting. In general, the generic backgrounds are a big weakpoint.
- This is one of those games where you never see the MC's face. Personally I hate it, because imo it does way more harm than good, for example it seriously limits the possibilities during sex scenes when you can never show the face, you can also show no emotions etc., but this seems to be a subjective thing so I put it in the neutral category.
Summary: I kind of liked the game and don't regret the hours I spent playing it, but I honestly can't decide if I should recommend it.
