i like the concepts here, but i definitely see some issues
first off, the combat system is pretty unengaging? at first i thought there was a strategy, and then i realized what you actually do is pretty much just spam click. if i have 2-3 of the same element, i'll usually throw every single one of those, because your opponent is likely to change up some stuff, so you can get some damage off. since this is more Rock-Paper-Scissors style, where you don't know what your opponent is doing, there's really nothing else you can do outside of some variation of this.
second off, making the first fight you're expected to do be the shield girl is... a really weird choice? 3/4 of my time playing the game was literally JUST fighting her, because her shield power means you need to CONSTANTLY deal damage or else she'll block stuff. it's what made me also realize there's an element of "real-time" in how the enemy's skills are used, encouraging you to further just spam click on your cards, because if you waste time then they'll activate their stuff. it feels like you should really always fight the attacking lady first, because having a damage skill makes the game more... palatable?
but really, i think these all highlight a very core issue: since the combat system isn't very engaging, as the player it feels more like a chore to get through, instead of something you're enjoying because it's fun. it's not unique for an H-game to have the gameplay feel more like a punishment in the way of getting to the erotic content, but i think that the best ones are where both the porn content and the game content are quality.
speaking of: i don't know if this art is AI or not (i personally prefer to not assume and hope people will be honest, because i'm a dumb optimistic bitch), but to me it definitely felt very... plastic? like as if i'd seen this game's art a thousand times over. this is more like a personal criticism than something i think actually worth changing, necessarily, but i'm hoping that the other girls will at least have more inspired, unique designs at the very least--because that would help a lot
still, more than anything else, the combat system needs to be reworked. in its current state it is really boring, and ends up making me want to play an NPC game instead, because having no gameplay is better than tedious gameplay
