This Visual Novel has absorbed me for the past 3-4 days, the timing of reading this amidst the pandemic, and me missing my own college life has truly made me feel this akin to something filling a little void in my chest that the goddamned covid shit has left there.
The story, despite it being of-course having inevitable sexual relationships that I would have strived to have if I were to have a normal college playthrough irl by myself, has really left an impression in me, to the point of me leaving this review here. Taking time out of my day to write this.
I simply have to appreciate the time and effort put into this not being a solely sexual-fantasy adventure, with only females as the cast aside from you ofc, as is with most Games/VNs similar to this style. Really capturing the essence of "to have fun times, you must also appreciate the times where it's not." (Yeah I read it in the game too, or something along those lines.)
I love the bro relationships had by all of the DIKs, especially of course Derek, providing the much-needed comic relief, however when necessary at times, is the guy the protagonist relies upon, giving much more to his character than just being someone to laughed at when given screen-time.
Just a dislike though is Tommy, doesn't have that much redeemable qualities shown through the available episodes the series has, however I think that's just how he just is in service of the story. That unlikable asshole to contrast all the homies in the DIK frat.
On the topic of the female leads, personal two favorites are Isabella and Jill, Isabella for the taboo-vibe, and Jill for that innocent high-school romance (pasted along with sex and shit.) I'm saying this though because I haven't bothered to read through the other three's story plots.
Although Jill's story I just have to mention (and including the whole DIK frat story) have given me genuine laughs and smiles.
I don't do reviews much, but have to say I feel lucky to have played/read through Being a DIK with two seasons out already. And that's it, hope Dr. PinkCake delivers another interesting/intriguing story for us all. Thanks guy.
