This is a fantastic game.
The gameplay is great, BGM is great. Other reviews praised the combos and juggling, I think it's the block/dodge system that's really special. Using the dodge to cancel your own attacks when needed feels pretty skillful.
There's a crafting system. The alchemy is kind of irrelevant unless you're playing on harder difficulties. I've seen people use various builds, but I've found that the mana pendant and 40% SP boots are very good uses of 2/3 slots because most I-skills have invincibility, and dodging is crazy strong. Anyone who thinks the combat system is bad is using the wrong settings or sucks at fighting games.
It's funny that this uses a similar system as MenZ's previous game Virgin Invader, where defeating girls is a resource system. It's a little janky because you can "miss" if you aren't standing in the right spot, but it adds depth to combat when you are encouraged to plan ahead to farm MP while you use it.
The boss fights are actually really cool. The duo in stage 7 and the final boss are pretty difficult, which is rare for H-games. Even if all of the ero content was removed this would be pretty good.
It's worth noting that the gallery doesn't have some of the grab animations, which is a little disappointing. There's also no boss select mode, which is unfortunate considering how much effort was clearly put into designing the fights.
