    This is pathetic. Using AI for the visuals is somewhat acceptable, but using it even for the text, and having the game be 80% boring text instead of images, is ridiculous. It's even worse when the plot is so repetitive that it can't stand on its own and just keeps repeating itself: "Oh, the MC is a cuckold, look how this girl 'A' gets robbed by random guy 'B'... and then the same thing but with different models."

    Even for an NTR game, they should put in five more minutes of effort. And if some fanboy comes along and says this is better than any AAA game, sure...

    Wow. Developer is... lazy. He uses 500 words when 30 would have worked great. Similie's out the wazoo... worst of all he uses a single animation of a sex scene for an eternity and describes it wrong. If the girl is objectively NOT bent over the hood of a car in the clearly visible scene he uses 60 words to describe her bent over a car. I wait to see if at some point the scene moves to match the visual - it does not. Happens MANY times in this preview. Do better.

    There is no character building of any substance. The characters are cardboard cartoon stereotypes. They don't feel real and since they don't feel real the scenes come across as hollow. Dude gets betrayed by his girl? So what - he literally does nothing to deserve her so there's no trust built in the viewer to be broken.

    The concept here is genuinely solid—I can totally picture this turning into an enjoyable, sleazy, cuck-heavy road-trip adventure, and the art style fits that playful, raunchy tone perfectly. That said, if writing isn’t your strength, please don’t just dump the script into ChatGPT and call it a day. It’s painfully obvious to anyone who’s spent five minutes around AI output, and it drains every ounce of unique voice from the project.

    The art is enjoyable still, just make sure you put more time into it.

    The premise is really promising. I can see how this could've been a fun, cuck-filled, road trip romp, and the artstyle is well-done and complimentary of this vibe. However, if you don't know how to write well, don't get ChatGPT to do it for you. Not only is it incredibly obvious to anyone who's tangentially familiar with ChatGPT-speak, but it sucks any and all personality out of the game. When you tell an AI that you're trying to aim for a "dark comedy" vibe, it will literally attempt to insert a "joke" into every line it feeds you. And it's all the same attempted non-joke. The ______ was (literal observation) and (weird non-literal analogy).

    Comedy writing requires an understanding of pacing. It's very, very difficult to get right. Comedy and horror are often two of the hardest genres to work in because of this. When every line is trying to be funny, none of them are. Pace jokes, pepper them in when they work. Don't force them. There's no better way to turn your audience off than by endlessly hitting them over the head with joke after joke after joke.

    A lot of potential here. You don't even need to start from scratch, you can just spend some time editing. I mean, screw it, pay someone to edit it if you don't want to write it yourself.
