So is this game just 100% linear with no reason for the map or navigation at all?

Edit: I just now realized that there is family stuff totally unconnected to anything else going on. I didn't think I could do anything with them because the game just told me they were busy the first few times I tried talking to them and I started doing what the story told me to do, which quickly took me out of the village

If you want to phrase it that way, then yes the story has been linear. As of v0.6.0, Main Story wise, it's only been 2 days in since the story has started.
The 'family stuff' is going to connect very soon with the main plot, so you don't need to worry about that.

However, I do admit that so far I paced the story pretty slowly, but that was on purpose. It was meant to properly introducing the characters, the power system (especially for those who have no knowledge about JJK), the setting and what I'm going for with the plot. So for now take it as of an introduction to the story, more than how the game is going to be handled 'gameplay-wise' in the future.

Yes, I'm sorry for that. I noticed that there's a bug, which if you already had talked with her in a previous version, it'd lock you in there.
It'll be patched within the bug-fix build.

Actually kinda sad it's just a jujutsu kaisen reference
Well, under normal circumstances, I don't think that a 1-to-1 JJK porn parody could be handled like a harem game (lack of main female cast).
And since I'm a huge JJK fan, I wanted to rewrite the plot completely, but also keeping a lot of elements from JJK and mixing it with a fantasy NSFW setting.

Some writing advice: the game currently has A LOT of "tell don't show". It overloads you with a ton of exposition dumps about lore and how different powers work, and it becomes really easy to just start tuning it out. Half the time whatever power they're discussing doesn't even really matter and just takes up space. Focus on what's relevant to the scene at hand, and think of way of more organically introducing the rest of it instead of having characters explain stuff at length.

It will be within the next version, just coded it right after I read this.

The correct way to handle this is to make the powers hidden behind choices or optional dialogue. I might already know what limitless is, but someone else who is playing this for the BTDE and the BTHF, might not. Like the exposition with Satoru, Have the fight occur, but the chance to question who she is and what she'd doing there afterwards, and what the relevance is between the main character and her appearance. It also lets people who are just here for smut to access said smut without a ton of reading.

My only gripe thus far is the lack of a open world, but seeing as its essentially version 0.06 that's absolutely fine. There should also be a way to repeat already present scenes with suku in the domain as well, since you know, that's has a lot to do with the story in the first place.

Nice game. RPG (or at least rpg-themed) harem games will forever be in demand on this site. The characters are nice and the game isn't afraid to throw the player right into the action.

One thing I really don't like is the reading other people's thoughts. It happens every other sentence basically and moreover it's mostly very cringe, as if the game thinks the player is a 12 yo (I really hope that is never the case) who needs to be spoon-fed everything. Yes, the elven mommy does indeed want to get fucked by the MC actually, thanks for pointing that out I guess. Also, it seems there is nothing indicating that the protagonist can read people's minds in the story, so it's a case of the player knowing but the MC not.

Also, this is just me yelling at the clouds, but there is one (1) left-mouse click in the game where we play as another character and then nothing like that ever again until now. Kinda weird
