Review for [v0.2]
There's not a lot, but plenty to play for a version 0.2 and it's well worth it. The pacing felt really well done for what's available and all situations in the game were handled surprisingly well, only time I was really taken out of the game was when I'd see the main character in his uniform cause he looks like a brick shit house which made me laugh but I found it charming and I hope it doesn't change. Solid foundation for the story and setting with no grammatical or writing issues that I was able to pick up. It's a kinetic novel for anyone warry of that, but I don't care and I definitely enjoy the way things are structured so far so I'd be happy if it stayed that way.
There's hints of some sort of mystery, but it's mostly a slice of life story and I hope it mostly sticks to that fairly warm feeling it evokes, definitely true to the cosy in the name, in between the bits of drama and lewd scenes.
It leans heavily into the maledom aspect with some relatively light bdsm (possibly more to come) so while it's not extreme, I can see it being a bit much if you are looking for straight vanilla. The mc is quite assertive with girls near the beginning, but he never really comes off as an asshole and instead is much more confident and teasing. He'll push buttons sometimes and test limits, but so far has done well with boundaries and shows he cares for the girls when it matters. He definitely feels a bit more like an actual character than a stand-in which I really appreciated since that gives more life to the interactions and it didn't lose my interest when it was just the mc doing his own thing and having his own thoughts.
I don't have much to say as it's really early, but everything was well done and I enjoyed it. Judging from my own opinions and some of the other reactions I've seen, even if its nothing innovative or miraculous, it has that special spark and I'm really looking forward to seeing more of it. I hope for the best.
