It is a good deal less whimsical due to being more of a gritty blood & crime setting instead of a school.
And the mythicals are acting less 'classic' monster movie, since they are dealing with living (mostly) open among humans here.
That aside yeah, you will probably enjoy it.
Would be awesome if we could choose what spell/powers to train like the werwolf traits in Monster College btw.

There are definitely enough commonalities that that most players who like one of the titles would like the other as well. DN does characters better- they are more realistic. It is grittier in general- if you didn't like juvenile or overly saccharine characters I can see someone disliking Monster College. If you reallllllly find animations important that could be a deal-breaker (DN doesn't have any).
DN has a much better / more interesting / more naturalistic harem progression. The one in Monster College feels forced, awkward, and frankly kinda stupid.
DN doesn't really have any monster-guy sex / sex with superpowers (yet)- but based on the PC's power progression that is def in the works.
Monster College does do that in a pretty elegant way. I'm sure we will see some of that as the DN as the PC gains some powers- not sure if it will be done in quite as "gamey" as it is in Monster College where you always get a power during training. DN tends to flag things a little more organically- so I can see the PC also just straight up failing to get a power if they choose the wrong pathing ect.

Thanks for the comprehensive answer. I just finished Monster College, and because I was already doing the harem route it didn't feel too problematic. I always use mods anyway because I want to play a VN only once, but I want to see all the content.

To Monk's explanation, I would make an analogy - If what you prefer is wall-to-wall combat (or "sex", in this context) you would probably prefer Icewind Dale, or Diablo (Monster College). If, however, you put more value on character and narrative, you probably would prefer Planescape Torment or BG3 (Detective Necro).
Damn, never thought I'll see a mention of Planescape here of all places (also connected to DN
), I'm very glad to see that has not died out yet .

Being mentioned in the same sentence as Planescape: Torment (even just remotely) is some of the highest praise there is. It might be the best RPG game ever made.Damn, never thought I'll see a mention of Planescape here of all places (also connected to DN
For me games where combat is a part, rather than the entire point, the combat is actually far more impactful. Being invested in the characters makes me actually care how effective they are in combat beyond simply winning or losing (because it is all part of the story playing out in my mind).
I find DN pretty similar, in that regard. Even though there are not a ton of scenes, and they lack animations, I found most of the scenes quite effective. This is a good example of where a lack of animation may actually be preferable - and I always prefer no animation to clunky 2-3 frame "animations", which are only ever a distraction.

I've been reading this VN for a bit, and really like it.
However, I see the last update was 6 months ago, and the title says 'On hold'. Is that an automated F95Zone thing, or did the developer put it on hold? Either way, is there any chance this VN continues?

Yikes! He got wounded in Ukraine or Gaza or so and had to flee his country? I hope that's not the case. Either way, I hope he's alright.Bro's been in & out of the hospital and then moved to another country. He's just getting back at it. Cut him some slack maybe?
