This game frustrates me like no other.
Don't get me wrong, the game is amazing, funny and 10/10 visually, but I can't fully appreciate it because of how much we are forced to fight against it design-wise.
First off in no other game I've played had I ever have to scroll back on average 4 times per conversation. It's not just because a lot of option work and are the same, any option without a +lust means we need to test all others for a better result. Can't image the nightmare the game would be without renpy backscrolling, but it's hard to appreciate the story and writting when you consistently have to go back in choices repeat dialogue for optimal gameplay.
The anti-cheat is honestly an embarassment, you wouldn't need it if the game was good enough for people to enjoy and find sucess in it without. As it stands it's damn near impossible for a new player to in 3 days bed a single of the girls who doesn't just immediatly jump on your crouch.
I understand the game is supposed to be about time management, but forcing down people's throat isn't fun for most.
My sugestion would be to make achievements more meaningful and a way to find progress in the game.
This would work in multiple ways to help the game achive more with less repetition required.
Example of things rewarded:
* Inicial money/strenght/stamina
* more rewards in jobs
* inicial lust on some/all girls, or minus lust on the rival
This way no playthrough feels sub-optimal since we get advantages for the following ones.
