Beautiful art.
Very very repetitive and grindy (intolerably boring), cheating is basically mandatory. Score is assuming you cheat and with mods.
Doesn't seem like there's much of a story here. It's basically a corrupt-them-all-thon. The writing doesn't really pull you in or is immersive or believable.
There's a big variety of targets though and it's fun experiencing the different scenarios. Kudos to a healthy and well-executed quantity-based approach. None of the scenarios are outstanding but they are varying complexity and competently written. You can tell that the writer put effort into making each scenario worthwhile and distinct, which is more than could be said for most games where scenarios can get procedural.
I don't really have any advice for the author except to keep on doing what you're doing and execute it better. At this point I think making the writing believable / immersive would be too weird and making an interesting story is unnecessary.
I'm just hoping that eventually a couple of the scenarios will show themselves to be truly ambitious and involved and really make us care for the character, and then this would be a 5 star.
Edit: This review spent a lot of words on negatives but it's actually the best game in the genre. Most grindy / points based VNs on the site where you hit on 10+ girls like something unlimited (which ironically has a higher rating on the site) are pure garbage, and I'm not even going to bother reviewing them. Many of the scenarios in this game while not reaching the heights of literature or a top tier story is still far superior to the nonsense in other games, they are very decent. The only reason why I think this game has a lower rating than something like Something Unlimited is that its introductory quality already puts it on a higher class of experience than that game. That I would even use the words "immersive" to criticize this game is already a compliment, something that would not in a million years apply to most other games like it.
You can compare this game to something like Witcher 3. It gets pretty close to greatness but is missing those couple of really superb sidequests.
Other games are more like mobile garbage that's not even in the same universe of comparison. So it's actually kind of unfair that I'm here with my high standards taking points off for issues that I wouldn't even think of pointing out for shittier games.
