put it my review just to win you over again ! =)
<3
[same btw. if the girls are not great its no problem as long as the MC acts in the right way. same with story. I could just read cosy creators dialogs for the MC for hours. thats really just so rare. its by now kinda physically painful for me to watch some of the doormat mc in some games]

I feel the same way about dream scenes as I think you do, so there aren't any more after that one you've already seen. I've always hated how in some games they spoil/diminish the sex content by blowing it early in a dream. But then when I started writing 0.1 I ran into the same dilemma that I assume other devs hit - how do you provide enough lewd content to keep people engaged when you're at the beginning of a slow burn story? Eventually I went with the bra scene in the hope that it would be more enticing than spoilerish.turns out it was no dream scene, but aYou don't have permission to view the spoiler content.

100%
sex dream IRL -> worse than the real sex
sex in game -> worse than real sex
sex dream in a sex game -> worse than real sex²
+ it takes away the curiosity to see LI naked -> makes slow burn worse
+ makes nice things like the 'strip-serving-practice' pointless -> makes slow burn worse
+ takes away the excitement of first sex -> makes slow burn worse
+ adds waste of time for player and dev -> makes slow burn worse
worse than real sex² + makes slow burn worse⁴
= worse⁶

agree, your dream scene added a bit instead of taking away (especially after my heart stopped sinking lol)
good ways for early content I encountered so far were (some possibly unfitting for this game type):
+ one LI that doesn't go the usual stairway of heaven, but starts off heavy already early and then goes a heavy fetish filled path (teacher might have been a option, but of course dont know what you planned for her)
+ having one girlfriend already which then also gets content straying from the stairway of heaven
+ not everyones thing but some blackmail/coerce/rape/escort stuff (victoria would have been possible like that, but would have changed her whole story and also probably too dark for this game for many)
imo bad ways used too often:
- some casual action in a night club for example (hate that tbh, and girl would then be difficult to write interestingly afterwards)
- some extremely horny girl/milf pushing for it (2nd worst only to dream scenes, hate it)
- dreams
- peeking through keyholes (most likely have turned game off already at that point because doormat MC lol)
I personally don't care at all to wait as long as it takes for a fitting sex scene to arrive in a natural way. I play AVNs mostly for erotic stuff and usually don't care much for the story, but if the sex scenes get better through the slow burn I don't mind waiting. Usually I check out a sex scene first thing in a game with a gallery unlocker or skipping and the quality makes me decide if I start playing or not (care mostly for the writing not the animations).
With some rare games like this I just start playing because it sounds like fitting my tastes very well. Then if I wouldn't enjoy the writing I'd just skip to a sex scene as well to check that out. If I enjoy the writing I play it anyway just for that, and usually one gets a good impression if the dev has some talent for erotic stuff way before a sex scene arrives. In cosy cafe the conversations are constant fap material anyway lol.
long story short: don't mind a appropriate slow burn at all if its worth it, otherwise I drop it anyway
(also, its not like porn went out of existence lol)

However bad dream scenes are in AVNs, they aren't as bad as dream scenes in fantasy novels, so at least you have that going for you.

Thanks for sharing this game! I played for the first time yesterday and I had a really great time! ^^ This game is going right up there with the best harem games made with HS like Once in a Lifetime, Ripples, Now and Then...\o/
Despite being only the second release of the game, there's already plenty of content. It took me several hours to finish and yet, I wish I could have spent even more time with this cast of beautiful/lovable/interesting characters.
It's quite insane, I can't even find anything to nitpick about. I was really engrossed in the story and I don't think I even notice a simple spelling mistake.
Kudos to the developer, you've won a new patron and I'll try to put out a review shortly. I'm not gonna lie, I've got great expectation, the bar was placed pretty high for such early releases
Things to look forward:
- Backstory of the MC's family. The headmistress attitude gives me pause, I'm wondering what could possibly trigger this kind of response from her. I doubt this wholesome game will turn into a thriller so I can't imagine something over the top. I'm gonna try playing the guessing game: Grandpa was housing/feeding kids in need in the empty rooms upstairs. It was a good deed but not always legal so that would explain why the headmistress wants to keep a lid on it (especially if her family was somehow linked to it).
- Turning the café into a loving family business by having more girls moving in <3 We've already got a family of two, it's time to adopt the stray cat who keeps coming in! xD
- Several first times incoming!! Woot woot!
- Turning the most obnoxious character (good comic relief though) into someone we care about. No idea if it's in the cards for Rapechel but I feel this dev could pull off such a 180! xD (plus, we can easily imagine how this dominant MC could turn the tables on her And their current project should bring many opportunities ^^)
- Some light on the mysterious Hannah. She doesn't seem like a bad apple (contrary to Victoria who hadn't made a first great impression, she didn't bully anyone as far as I can tell... Unless she was more subtle about it?) but still hangs out with the bad crowd. She was checking on Lucy at the beginning (maybe on behalf of her sister who had also asked the MC to watch over Lucy?) but now, we don't see her much. I'm a sucker for redheads and I would love some sibling rivalry between her and the headmistress to get the MC So here's to hoping we'll see more of her going forward ^^ But I'm not too worried, her pic is the first one in the previews of the latest updates and the dev has ownership of the thread so she'll probably have a more important role in the future!
Super grateful for this game, keep up the good work dev!

that family idea really warms my heart =)
do you also feel like having a hard time going back to other games after playing this MC?
thank you for supporting cosy creator <3

Fletcher's virgin cakes isn't a bad idea, though I think the name would have to change in a few updates.
This VN is easily -by far- my favorite. I have been searching for this type of a gem for so long. I played lots of VNs but this is the first time I am this excited, I can't stop wanting more and waiting in excitement. Every character made themselves important and interconnected with the whole story so far. I am glad I found you. Love the idea behind it, love the wholesome and Cosy vibe. I fell for this immidiately. I wish you all the best.
I must say: as a "Shokugeki no Souma" fan I really enjoyed the Food Duel part. I don't know if it really meant to be salute to that anime or was it a just a pure coincidence but it was a really nice touch.
Lastly, I am unable to become a patreon member at the moment but definitely will become one asap. You deserve all the praise etc. for your masterpiece. I hope you continue to develop your excellent work and deliver amazing story.
(Btw, I am so excited and in Love; this is my first comment/feedback/review on this site ever.) Thank you for the feels ^^

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
The Shokugeki no Souma connection didn't really occur to me with the food duel, but I did think early on that there was certainly a similarity between the MCs wanting to be great cooks.
And thanks for giving me your first time (comment)
No problemAnd thanks for giving me your first time (comment)

Well, talk about being pleasantly surprised. Was not expecting to enjoy that one as much as I did.
Let's get the nitpicks out of the way, cause they are just nitpicks.
I'm not a fan of the pseudo-sandbox stuff frontloaded into the start of the experience. I'm glad that the further the game went on the less 'navigation' was required of you, but it was still jarring to be dropped at the bedroom navigation screen every morning and having to jump through the perfunctory hoop of clicking on the stairs to exit the room. The game flow would be greatly improved if all of that was eliminated. The café exploration at the start should be streamlined into a narrative guided tour, no need for the player to click on all of the locations to move through the café if you're not going to put any actual sandbox elements in. As it currently is, it is the worst of both worlds; lacking the freedom of an actual sandbox, but requiring more needless hoop jumping than a straight up VN or KN.
Access to the café seems weirdly inconsistent. Sometimes people are locked outside, other times they seem to enter without needing a key. When Victoria first enters the café looking for work and the MC is upstairs getting dressed, how did she get in? Did the MC forget to lock the door, or did they wake up and go downstairs to unlock it before returning to their room to get undressed? And if the MC is really just lazy with remembering to lock the door, then how come later Akatsuki is left outside in the morning on day 9?
I get that this takes places somewhere in the UK, since they're using pounds as currency. But whenever you see the actual notes, they're US $100 notes with Benjamin Franklin on them. Super nitpicky, but still, I did noticed it.
Alright, now for all the stuff that does work.
First off, animation. It's used well and subtly. They don't commit the cardinal sin of being distractingly bad. They're usually just small loops of what appear to be stock Honey Select loops (which is to say, they're at least decent), and framed in such a way as to not detract from the experience. None of that 'we're going to slap a walking animation on character moving at a sprint while obnoxiously panning the camera over the whole thing' levels of unnecessary bullshit. The people who are actual trained animators working in this field of amateur digital erotica are small, and we're all better off when non-animators don't try to pretend to be something they're not. So yeah, I never saw an animation that was so bad or out of place that it forcibly ejected me from the experience or shattered my suspension of disbelief. So, good work there.
I love the writing. If I were to grade it like a piece of schoolwork, it would be a solid A. I didn't catch any outstanding grammatical errors, and it read like it was written by and for native English speakers. Not quite at the level of A+, as it lacks the creativity and more thoughtful prose of a Pale Carnations or a Now & Then, but damn if it doesn't come within swinging distance. I think the thing I liked most was that the writer remembers the ancillary details. They pay attention to the small things, and don't forget to write about them. I hate when a game is just 99% character dialogue; you either miss out on a lot of details, or they get crammed into the character's speech and their dialogue is lesser and more unnatural because of it. But remembering to add in details like how something felt or sounded ('Lucy lets out a long exhalation as the tension drains from her body, before finally rounding on you and lightly hitting you on the chest.'), how a particular character moved or acted ('Unable to think of an adequate response, you just hug her tighter.'), or even just being explicitly privy to the MC's thoughts ('She's been dropping hints that she's interested in me, and she's clearly up to something. I think it's time I test her limits.'), all help to flesh out the world and make it feel more authentic and lived in. Plus, that doesn't stop when the lewd scenes happen! Other lesser writers have often dropped the ball there and started skimping on their writing (often combined with using animation as a crutch or filler, another pet peeve of mine).
I really like the characters. First off, it is refreshing to see a maledom MC who gets that being in the dominant role is a kink and not a lifestyle. So many fall victim to bad characterization and stereotypes, misusing or misappropriating BDSM culture, and otherwise using 'dom' as a synonym for 'toxic, abusive, controlling sociopath'. See Also: Dorian Grey from 50 Shades of Grey for a prime example of how NOT to do maledom. It is kinda sad that 'just not being an asshole' is the bar that needs to be cleared to stand out here, but it does clear it. But our MC here is empathetic, kind, and quite affable. He also isn't above being rude or assertive if the moment calls for it. While the rest of the cast might be a bit trope-y (the shy one, the spunky tsundere, the switch bitch, and the weird one), that's not necessarily a bad thing. The film Independence Day is nothing but tropes and archetypes, and it's one of the best summer blockbusters ever. They're all endearing in one way or another, and all of their dialogue is both spot on and entertaining. Lucy is shy and sweet with a few peeks at her daring side. Victoria is an entertaining witty barb jouster, and seeing her 'redemption' arc is good fun. Akatsuki is for the moment sufficiently mysterious, and I'm very interested to see where she is going (especially when she does assert herself). I'm hoping that Sarah expands to be more than than just the token tsundere character, but she hasn't been around long enough for a deeper read; plus I have a thing for petite gingers with freckles, so I'm in to see what happens.
So yeah, very pleasantly surprised with this one, and I am very much looking forward to further updates.
